- I am EXAMPLE4.TXT
-
- This is a survey of the same parcel as described in "EXAMPLE3". The survey is
- incomplete, due to a sudden rainstorm. The survey instruments are rainproof
- [they are even caveproof!], but my assistant was not.
-
- An estimate of the lacking data can be made from knowledge of the parcel. A
- quick guess from my monitor (I didn't even bother to print it) gives the
- following shots as those needed to complete the survey.

- Shoot these stations and then plot the map. It should be the same as the map
- of "EXAMPLE3". You can read "EXAMPLE3" and plot them both on the same screen.
- I will leave it to you to figure out how they match!!! When you get a survey
- like this, you have troubles. If you are considering purchasing it, the best
- thing to do is to look elsewhere.
-
- If you are already stuck with it, then you should trace your deed back to see
- if there are [m]any typograhpic errors in the land description. You should
- also check with the deeds of your neighbors. The calls in their land
- description for the boundary between you should agree with that part of your
- land description. If that fails, then you must reestablish a new line. Agree
- where your property boundary should be, and survey it. Do it right this time.
- And bring along a camera. If it ever comes before twelve of your peers,
- pictures will mean a lot more to them than some hocus pocus about compass
- error.
