The LS is on a 1/2" rebar, set by my dad, 1984. It's 1.1" west of a fence corner.
My son has his hand on an 1-1/2" pipe, that my dad rejected.
And, to the right, is a 3/8" rebar, set by another surveyor, rejecting my dad's corner.
There's an ancient subdivision there to the west. The setter of the 3/8" rebar did extensive work in this subdivision.
What do I do?
Well, I would use my dad's rebar. But, it would tear up that subdivision. My dad's rebar was 5" deep. Still has flagging from 35 yrs ago. Probably hasn't been seen since then.
I'm holding the 3/8" one in the rock pile. It gives my client a bit more land, so he"s happy. It does not tear up the subdivision, so it leaves the hood as happy as it can be made.
Ah! Surveying. It's one of the most underpaid professions. For what we do, ANY price is a bargain!
