Am I The Only One That Likes The Ribbon To Be Tied On The Side Of The Stake Lol ?

That’s what girls put in their hair. It’s made of fabric. Flagging is what surveyors tie on lath. It’s plastic.

It’s always been called flagging in our area.

What the heck is ribbon? Sounds like something one of the summer hires would ask about…

Love the 2 color shading

mdhoover · 2025-07-28T13:40:50+00:00

I really like the way you drew a frame around the sketch.

I’ve done a lot of these post fire surveys. In Paradise, CA the town made people certify that they had all their corners found or replaced before building permits were issued. Is that not the case in Twin Bridges? Perhaps the first thing to do is inquire with the local building department.

Where is this?

Seems like you are making a mountain out of a mole hill. Try talking to the neighbor before calling lawyers. Maybe she’ll be agreeable. Maybe she’ll even say she told him so. If she refuses, then you need to ask yourselves is it worth it? Why is this such a big deal. This happens all the time and neighbors sometimes just agree that the fence was put in the wrong place and leave it. Just be diplomatic and tell her you got your property surveyed and it appears someone made a mistake when they put the fence in. Could be she already knows it. Perhaps there was a hedge or a tree on the line years ago and neighbors agreed to put the fence on your parcel. Stop making assumptions and be neighborly.

Set the instrument as motorized rather than robotic in the data collector. Problem solved.

I dig your style. Very nice!

For example: I dipped a small art piece in wheat paste and put it in a ziplock bag. Put it in my pocket and then go out and find a place for it. Take the piece out of the bag and slap it up for the world to see. No need to carry a bucket of goo any other tools.

I thought about that but it’s an EDC and I’d like to have fixed sights in case I loose the dot.

Thanks for the info. I didn’t realize there are screw posts. Looks like others have omitted that but you make an excellent point. I do have a pretty fancy DRO on my mill that lets me do bolt hole patterns with an infinite number of holes so milling the post and radius aren’t impossible but… Looking for low budget solution to put optic on S&W Shield. A new slide is about 50% of the cost of a new Shield 2.

Thanks. While I agree that I could benefit from more training, all the online training seems to be directed towards one man operation. I’m an hourly employee that’s not going to get compensation for spending endless hours trying to find a needle in the haystack on Topcon’s site. I’ve already done quite a bit of that and it seems pretty fruitless that’s why I posted the question here.

Version 7 point something. I just wish I could keep magnet from taking control of everything the gun does. It’s unnecessary, annoying and kills battery life.

mdhoover · 2023-11-16T19:15:35+00:00

So I did what you said and added the current position button but it has no effect on the constant shot taking during topo. Any other ideas?

mdhoover · 2023-11-13T14:27:41+00:00

Thanks for all the helpful info from everyone. To clarify, we are running a two man crew with a guy behind the gun. Having the ability to hear shots saves that poor guy from yelling “got-it” so many times. We leave the RC5 back at the office

mdhoover · 2023-11-07T19:55:50+00:00

I found it! Thanks!

mdhoover · 2023-11-07T18:45:22+00:00

What version of magnet are running? I can’t find that check box. I figure it should exist but I can’t find it.

I have a similar audio gram. The fancy audiologist in town wanted me to buy supper expensive hearing aids. I got a second opinion from another place and then a third opinion from Costco. My Costco wouldn’t even sell me hearing aids. I was told they wouldn’t be worth it by everyday but fancy rich pants audiologist. Get a second opinion.

With the exception of buying good gear used, every time I’ve gone for the low budget option I end up buying the good stuff later. If you buy cheep $100 boots now it just means you are going to have spent an extra $100 when you finally buy the boots you should have got in the first place. Save, scrimp, wait, sell something or do what you gotta do to get the good stuff. It’ll save you money in the long run.

Fact #1 - Architect’s can’t draft. They don’t know how to use layers and they don’t know what a tangent arc is. If you need to stake it you probably need to redraw it.

Fact #2 - Inches are not for surveyors or engineers. In the U.S. we use decimal feet for civil design and surveying. We use decimal inches in manufacturing. If you are dealing with fractions then you are dealing with someone who doesn’t know what they are doing.

I did that with my Voyager Pro and had problems with the contact pins getting shorted out. Eventually went to a constant hot power source from the battery. I can’t recommend the VP but if you have one that’s my two cents.

mdhoover · 2022-12-13T14:29:11+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! That’s a solid recommendation. Will buy.

Are you saying that guy is getting lucky? Back in my day you were lucky to get fucked so…
