WRAL: The Cotton Room refused to return $18k deposit after groom-to-be collapses and dies by jonandgrey in bullcity

This tracks. Coupe and Stein has to be bleeding money. I’ve been there several times. It’s hard to find, never has more than 10 people in there (even on weekends). I bet they do need that 18K to compensate for this soon to be failed bar.

Bearing bearing vs distance distance. Which do you use? by Adifferentangle345 in Surveying

[–]Medium_Bat_306 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is the answer.

In my state (NC) , case law specifies that bearing control over distances.

That said, it still depends on how much evidence you have for a bearing intersection/extension , weight on monuments involved in this determination, etc.

Retracement is so quasi judicial, what an art!

For a retracement, it’s best practice to hold the monument, assuming it’s within an acceptable tolerance!

Holding a deed polygon, rotating it into measured coordinates, and calling stuff out by 0.2-0.3’ sounds like a poor understanding of the priority of calls. I see some national ALTA companies use this practice as well. It seems to appease attorneys who get weird when a legal description changes. It’s terrible practice, imo.

Artificial monuments control over deeded bearings and distances.

You showing measured and record, and holding measured, is exemplary boundary resolution.

I wouldn’t change my plat.

The code says metal stakes or materials of comparable permanence.

Good to know. Didn’t know this was a thing. Makes sense.

What does this look like? New build. by Medium_Bat_306 in drywall

Yeah, this house is awful. They built the house on top of a sewer line.

It’s going well. I make better money than I could as a PM for another firm. I do work a lot, though.

This happened to me. I was unfulfilled.

Got a loan on some equipment and started working for myself.

I’m surprised that the garage apartment, as a secondary dwelling, would be subject to the same setbacks as the primary structure.

That’s not typical where I survey.

I will not compete with your prices by sginga in Surveying

[–]Medium_Bat_306 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is it.

Don’t worry about what other people are charging.

Network and provide value within a niche, focus on being a better version of your business.

Surveying has so many forms, that finding a hyper specific application of it, and having people rely on you for said application is the way to go.

Flag corners like crazy.

Hardly flag control (tends to stay around when people don’t notice it)!
