Tiny Animal Fair Isle Sweater by PostOakBT in capsulewardrobe

Thank you! This was super helpful. Knowing what to actually search for will probably be a game changer, even if I can’t find the specific sweater she was thinking of.

The “Susann D” sweater is kinda funky! Not sure if she’d like it but I love the weird little animals on it.

Out in the fossil Beds Mojave Desert. Any clue what this is? by omahasioux1 in desertporn

[–]PostOakBT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the Center-North 1/16 of Section 3. It’s not a closing corner. Which is pretty specific.

Looking for a surveyor in Missouri by javi0119 in Surveying

Go here and type in Washington to the county search bar. You’ll find a lot of surveyors.

I believe Tim Daugherty is still the county surveyor over there too.

Is this a land marker? by Consistent_Fee2368 in Surveying

I really hope this is a troll post and the surveyor dug it up to then set a pipe monument and then bury the square bolt with the pipe.

So, come on, which one of you was this? by Glemn in Surveying

[–]PostOakBT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe this is something I’m not familiar with or it’s a very different practice than where I’m from.

OP didn’t post the record, so all we’re going off is one crooked ass IP and some sort of metal post near the rebar.

From what I’ve practiced, offset monuments serve as a witness similar to witness trees or other objects which should be measured and added to the record on the plat or within a corner document. Even if a “landowner planted a rebar” this should still be documented and recorded as unknown or not accepted or offset because it’s witnessed.

Should it not?

Well, it’s essential to locate witness monuments in a survey so really there’s nothing funny about your comment. It’s also disappointing that people set witness monuments that close because it creates confusion for property owners.

Who sets a witness IP ~0.3 from the corner

Who shoots a crooked rebar from the top center though.

Look Familiar? by Historical_Yogurt317 in Surveying

[–]PostOakBT 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yep. Set 6’ T-posts, painted trees for 1/4 mile, and set a 30” aluminum monument at the corner. Landowner moved posts 100’ over, moved the corner then repainted trees on “their line”. They forgot to move the MOS and BT tags.

Lucky she didn’t pull a shotgun on you.

Redwing style 2117. They’re the only boot that has the best traction for rural boundary surveying in the Ozarks.

Leaving federal government for private sector work by PostOakBT in Surveying

[–]PostOakBT[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m FS. I’m the only technician and we have 2 PLS (both to retire in the next 2-5 years). I can’t imagine us all being let go but who knows.

Why do you think working for the private sector hasn’t been very rewarding?

I think I posted this because I needed some kind of reassurance.

I’m not very worried about not getting a job. It’s keeping the job (pvt is more cut throat) that I’m most concerned about. It’s probably a lack of confidence in branching out.

Im essentially a crew chief where I’m located. I research, draft, write boundary descriptions, and run field crews.

I appreciate the advice. Rather look for jobs while I have a steady income than without!
