We had a phone call from some company that once again has the poor secretary calling and reading the specs right from the sheet. It sounds like they have some huge out of state company trying to convince them that no one in Oklahoma can possibly do the job to the specs and they need to hire the "experts" from out of town. The crazy thing is we have flow jobs for that client since the 60s, yet they seem to want to believe only "experts" from out of town can do it. They want 1mm resolution aerials of the site. We did not blink. We have done it before but is is so expensive it is very rare.

We will be happy to take their money and we can make it at a profit since the job is just a few miles from the airport. The out of state company will have to fly several hundred miles out of the way unless they are already in town doing a job.

One mm resolution will make some sort of giant crazy resolution files but is no skin off of us. As a reference most high resolution stuff is 3 or 4 inch resolution. If they want 0.03937008 inch resolution just whip out that check book because it is gonna cost ya.

It will look cool but I don't know why they would want something that high res. I guess they want to count the dirt clods and rocks on the nails used on a roof project.
