Two Drones

Yesterday turned into a Drone Day! I started the day out by taking time to read the following article which is a great overview of getting started in a Drone Commercial Business.  Yes, I know it says Ag business, but it is a great overview for all Drone business ideas.

Working with clients

Marlys Parr & I

I have found that I really enjoy the part of my business where I get to work with clients helping them with boundary issues while also learning a lot of other things from them. One example is Marlys Parr who turns 80 this year.  I first meet Marlys while surveying for a neighbor and we ran […]

As I finish reading yet another very well written blog about someone’s 2013 and most of the events being blessings (sometimes in disguise), I can only agree that I too have had some challenges, but also more blessings in 2013 than expected.  Now I only wish I had the skills to write even a simple email […]

Tractor Lat/Long sign

So this week I was out surveying a rural property and looked up to see this yard sign. So what would you expect a Surveyor to do?  You got it, put the GPS unit next to it and check the results! My results: 45° 13’ 17.23569” N 122° 28’ 15.14109” W 871.69 ft NAVD 88 So […]

Looking down farm property line

After finally warming up from last week’s COLD farm survey I am ready to post a few photos.  It was a very enjoyable and very interesting project. Found most of the monuments for the 6 parcels being surveyed to make up about 400 acres of farmland on Grand Island.  Thanks to great surveyors before me and farmer who […]

Survey Rig Ready to Roll

After months of review, demos, rentals and learning I made the leap to Trimble survey gear. We purchased a S6 Robotic Total Station, TSC3 Survey Controller and two R8 GNSS Model 3 GPS units. I have been very impressed with how these units all work together and how they can help me do a fair amount […]
