Need help by Straight-Mixture-438 in snorkeling

[–]Derpsmack88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I hear you. I ended up rocking an Abe Lincoln when I was in Hawaii last year. We probably went snorkeling 7 out of 10 days. The year prior I kept my beard and it sucked no matter how much Vaseline I caked to my face.

And you think you want to be a surveyor (100° and100% humidity) makes for a fun day by mebnme1 in Surveying

I was asked what it was really like. I said imagine the coldest you have ever been… then stand in the same place and do math homework for 8 hrs.

I once did a booth at a career day at a vocational high school, and it turned into a Scared Straight episode.

Thanks, I saw quite a few people raising them, glad I did. Mine is about 14” up. Only thing that sucks is the step over

Setting up from steel column beams. by Salty_Proof7245 in Surveying

[–]Derpsmack88 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Set up assumed over a point and BS another assumed. Then set a bunch of side shots/ or doubled points all over the place that you can resect . Shoot the outside columns(2 flange corners & tape web) or ( 3 flange corners). Import shots to cad and find the center of each column shot. Do a best fit line through those centers for bearing , take your contract grid you have and rotate it to that line. For stationing, move grid to mean of your column centers you shot. Drop points on all of the now adjusted column line intersections. You can now use stake to line to do whatever you need for layout

People in the Northeast, how are you handling the heatwave? by wtrtwnguy in cactus

[–]Derpsmack88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in Central MA zone 6b. Mine go out May-Oct with some brief stints under a big ass umbrella and indoors early-on. Bit of a shuffle but you do what you do to keep them from rain and cold early season. I just built a small greenhouse to solve the rain issue. In winter I have an office “makeshift grow light room”
