professional land surveyor

No idea why, but surveying is fascinating to me. Especially in the days when they drug around those huge theodolites and their margin of error was teeny. Stories of clearing a mile of forest to run a chain just taps the adventure node in my brain. Not too long ago I was doing some research on a piece of property from the 1920s. Interpreted the bearing measurements and plotted out the perimeter in Adobe Illustrator. Overlaid it on a sat image but everything was rotated?? Then I remembered the shifting declination of the earth, found the offset from 90 years ago, adjusted my perimeter the same degrees and it fit the natural boundaries like a jigsaw puzzle. Cool stuff!

I also invest in real estate. Hope to make that a full time endeavor in about 5 years
