I want to thank all of you that actually commented on the ROS topic.
DD, whoever you are. You are the man. Thank you very much for actually saying something with substance. I can tell it was well thought out. It had common sense and depth.
Let's hear it for DD!!!!
If any of you did not read the ROS comments, please do so.
That said, I know that a lot of you have opinions just itching to come out. So come on!! Step up to the plate and blurt it out.
We have been given a unique opportunity as surveyors to literally rebuild our profession. All the bad apples are gone and it's only the good guys that are left. This is one good side effect of a down turn.
It all starts with people that are unafraid to get out of the box and actually communicate.
It does seem redundant to have to prepare a ROS when all the client wants is to see when their property corners are. However, The client's property corners belong to other owners as well. Therefore a record of survey is important for putting neighbors on notice. The second reason is fairly obvious also. It leaves a timeline of survey information about that property. "Footsteps" that can be retraced. In a sanitized world where all the control exists and most of original monumentation is in place; a ROS may seem redundant. But in other areas outside of the valley, It is greatly appreciated and necessary.
