Surveying is not the type of job you want to rush but for some unknown reason office guys talk like you're out there playin tiddly winks.

The end of the year is sneaking up and McKissock, a leader in continuing education for state-licensed professionals, is issuing a reminder to home inspectors, land surveyors and professional engineers to renew their licenses.

I've been thinking a lot lately about sharing a story here on Land Surveyors United so that other land surveyors may learn more from me, because I realize that I have something to share. I imagine that many of you might be in the same place with this. Perhaps we have not yet begun to feel the crunch that will be involved when there becomes a scare and our industry is compromised due to fading into other technologies. So today, I am going to make an attempt by writing a story about writing a s

Abstract
WCB Wilson was one of Queensland’s early pioneering surveyors. While we have heard of Dixon, Staplyton and Warner, few of us know the exploits of Wilson. In this sesquicentenary of Queensland as a state, I thought it appropriate to add some character to a name that we may only see on a plan. I also explore the accuracy of one of his surveys in terms of ‘following in his footsteps’ when reinstating boundaries created by Wilson almost 150 years ago.
How Good Was He?
It seems reasonable to think that removing the huge pecan tree east of the ProFlex500 base station antenna would influence the OPUS results. But my first OPUS report following removal of the tree was included in the current average NAD83(2011) position. This remains a work in progress. Over time there will be more OPUS sessions. Each time I will decide whether to include it in the average or begin again.
The OPUS reports, raw data files, and more photos are available on my projects ftp site.

This client typically purchased commercial properties and then reconditioned them into a profitable businesses. He would then either sell them or retain them depending on the revenue stream and capital gain. We had been able to save him from m

http://www.facebook.com/dewardkb/posts/272664382841981?notif_t=share_reply Here is something I wanted to point out about a certain sickness that has swept through our Profession (if not the entire American society) over the course of the last 10 years or so.
I am embarrassed for our profession but unfortunately nothing I say or do seems to have any effect on it.
This is one of the reasons that I enjoy Land Surveyors United so much. This site seems to be
