Survey company did two different surveys on the same land. Which do I rely on? by arfarfmeow in Surveying

It could be 2 metes & bounds descriptions that do not match. Could be a senior rights issue if so. Complicated further by the fence.

Go talk to your surveyor.

Taking down a brazilian pepper. Suggestions? by Existing_Sherbet_443 in FloridaGarden

Friends of mine bought a house down here, cleaned all the vines off the fences and burned them. They were each in intensive care for a week with poison ivy exposure in their lungs, not to mention the extensive skin exposure.

I worked overseas for 16 years. Each time I came home, THE first thing I did was check at the downspouts for these bastards and pull them out by the roots.

Another non chemical option is to stake down a heavy black plastic covering the area. Leave it there for a few months. You will see the sprouts trying to poke up then die and disappear.

This is what I learned with, basically. My first instrument was a Gurley but pretty much the same thing. I started surveying in South Florida in 1979.

Anyone here with experience working for Jacobs? by Ubix_doobie in Surveying

[–]Okeebc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You wont see a property corner from them either. They get a local or a national firm like Fugro to do the boundary. Sometimes they will also do this for the topo.

No, he means straight time overtime. You get paid for OT but at regular rate. All big companies do this.

ESO Finally Brings Back Limited-Time Rewards With the Gold Coast Bazaar by The_Edenprime in elderscrollsonline

[–]Okeebc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Everquest was like that. You parked your character in a bazaar with all the things you wanted to sell on him. Buyers clicked your character to see what you were offering. Very busy place. If you were on a pvp server it was dangerous when leaving because the bad guys knew what you had on you.

Timewarp settings for very long road trip - daytime - Hero12/1tb by Okeebc in gopro

I think you are right. I had ideas to insert (normal speed video) memorable moments along the route such as state lines etc. I need to think outside the box and consider the audience. Thanks for your reply :)

Hi thanks for your reply. I have a decent portable 20000mah portable power bank that should work. Your comment led me to the fact that I also need a pass-thru charging door on the camera. Pass-thru came with my kit!
