Done!

I get asked these types of questions at work all the time. Hiring a Land Surveyor is expensive. It's human nature to for people to try to save money by doing stuff themselves. Ultimately, the homeowner is going to do what they want... I can only offer my expert opinion. It's a bit like working on your own vehicle. Sometimes it just makes sense to have a professional do the work.

I've gotta run. I get to play construction worker today... jack hammering holes in the road for survey markers. It's going be a sweaty day for me.

Evening Allen! Long day today........ Got a bunch done on one of the house remodels, and have renters ready to move in on the 18th.

Tomorrow we get to go pick up my lathe! Can't wait!

Evening Charlie. I've got to go see him in a little bit. He just got home from Portland VA about an hour ago. He has bladder cancer now, and they just operated on him yesterday. He just got home from the hospital about an hour ago...

What ever happened to those vacuum tubes you found?

Evening gang!

It was a good day outside today.

Not too much traffic where we were working. I saw more horses than automobiles. Got our work done and it turned out really nice.

Came home and figured since I was sweaty and already dirty I mowed the lawn too.

Good evening Oregon. Made it home from Detroit. Everything went fine with the (new to us) camper. Didn't want to come home, but I've got an appointment at the VA in P town tomorrow.

Weather was nice, fishing was good. Wife looks like a lobster....................told her to put more sun tan lotion on!

Guess that's why he's on my mind. I hope all is well for him, or at least as well as can be


They're boxed up, NOS in one box, rest in 3 boxes. I have them in an indoor shed for now. Once things settle down, I'll figure out what I have, and take some pictures

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

Morning Pat and Charlie.

Jim, that's a good looking setup from what I can see in your signature picture. How was the catchin' at Dertoit Lake?

IFIRC today's the day Don picks up his new toy... He probably didn't sleep a wink last night and is probably already up and getting ready to leave.
