Not according to the Topo Surveys.

I see dimensions like that all the time building houses. Nothing is that accurate when framing.

I didn’t read all the posts, but why are survey dimensions is feet and 10ths of a foot? Is it just easier than fractions? I can see that.
Depends on the Survey. But a bad tolerance, or precision, will carry out over large distances. A precision survey, to the hundredths is not needed for laying out a house foundation. However, the "Control Points" do.

This is a very timely thread. I applied for a variance to have a garage built just last week. I have to find the property line. The place was surveyed in 2002 but three of the monuments have never been recorded - as in there aren't any according to the local surveyor. Gotta have the whole 5 acres done, for $1500.

yes but be a tenth off laying out a high rise, nothing good can happen with that.

I turned angles and measured distances sometime over four miles. One of the points was four thousand feet up with just enough room for the helicopter to hover a bit and let me unload the gear. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1551764335.jpg


When I first read that I thought you meant the bear’s pile of poop was a couple of thousand feet up. I knew bears had a big dump, but I had no idea they were THAT big. ;)
