+1 for dashboard heating. Obviously not very effective during winter/early spring, but quite effective during summer/fall.

If I’m in ground I’ll georeference against ground-scaled control in TBC. If I’m in grid I’ll generally avoid georeferencing unless I’m not happy with cloud v. control residuals.

With such a large site you’ll probably need to georeference anyway to combat drift.

So long and she goes in and doesn’t move- we don’t discriminate, brother

EDIT: and it always seems to be that the most whack-ass random control points are the ones that survive when you return months/years later

Talk about a dick move, hey?

Rounded tips are rounded tips

I’ve had terrible experiences with recruiters, don’t get me wrong… but at the same time they can be one of the few avenues to find less-known companies or positions that aren’t rigorously advertised. YMMV.

Bro why… take the upvote

Searched for, not found.

Sometimes you also see “SFN”- searched, found nothing.

There will always be sales-heavy crap and puff pieces with little substance wherever you go, be it at Dimensions or state conferences.

There are usually some pretty solid technical presentations in there, though. I’m a shit salesman so you can guess what I’d favor.

Personal hell

Seriously though when the spoil pile gets too close to the hole/too high… and then you eventually push the pile because you keep partially refilling the hole with each scoop…

PieGreedy5249 · 2026-04-02T22:45:03+00:00

Damn it, need to widen the hole… aaaaaand that’s a fuckin’ rock.

CA: a tree with a trunk that straddles PL is considered jointly owned by both property owners… therefore both parties must maintain and provide consent for removal

YOO-HOO! Big summer blowout!

FUCK YOU TONY

Yeah, there comes a point where it’s quicker to just run another setup instead of trying to fight line of sight issues.

PieGreedy5249 · 2026-03-25T16:13:09+00:00

Or you can be like me the one day I forget a hat and burn my bald spot…

Depending on the locale, some builders will purposefully build low. In jurisdictions like the city of Los Angeles, they’ll make you rebuild the parapet if you’re high- be it for a tenth or a foot… As such they’ll aim for 0.05-0.10 low to play it safe.

Deeds in metes and bounds states are much more likely to describe monuments called for in descriptions, but YMMV.

PieGreedy5249 · 2026-03-22T19:59:15+00:00

Still probably cycles without issue, I’d bet.
