One Liners
I get a lot of requests to survey just one line. The reason, most likely is the person is looking to reduce the cost of a survey.
Sometimes I wish I could explain the reason why it is just not possible. Can you solve for the hypotenuse of a right triangle when the other two sides are unknown?
I can think of many examples, however, my intern thinks no explanation is necessary. This is what she wrote to the last request from someone complaining about the cost when only one line was needed.
“We cannot survey just one line. A survey requires measurements to be taken on every line of the parcel. If you would like to proceed with the survey, the proposal we sent you is accurate to the work it would require to survey in the woods on that size parcel”.
