Great working with you Andrew and thank you for bringing along your equipment, especially your gas powered machete haha. It's a great piece of property and I am glad we could help you with the acquisition. Looking forward to seeing your projects develop. Next time I'll bring the GPS for you to check out.
Andrew, would have been cool if you took a drone photo and sketched out new boundary lines, with your existing boundary lines on it, to get an overview of new purchase compared to what you previously had!
My dad was a huge fan of your channel. He was a huge fan of DYI, home improvements, building projects, the outdoors, and dogs. So your videos were pretty much perfect for him.
Great idea Andrew! I am 75 years young and have moved 9 times in my life. What makes or breaks a successful move and your property enjoyment are your neighbors! If they are PITA's then you must move or somehow legally destroy them! If they are nice you will love your new personal space! Thanks for posting another small adventure for us to enjoy and take care!
Surprised you thought this was a 'boring video' - this was great. Even trivial 'tasks' make for some great entertainment. That half hour flew by and I learned something new about surveying. Thanks for sharing with us. When you find people whom doing the most rudimentary tasks with rarely result in the feelings of boredom - those are the special people in life.
Video was great, but the best part is seeing you hanging with Dad. I think you should try to do more videos with him before he gets to the time where he is not up to it. I lost mine to pancreatic cancer 22 yrs ago.
It was nice to see the Surveyors explaining everything, and being as helpful as possible, all the way through. Yes the Dogs WERE being good, weren't they? 😎
I was trained as a land surveyor in the early '60s, BEFORE laser electronic measuring devices existed. We used BUFF, GURLEY, and K&E (KUEFFEL & ESSER) theodolites. We read "traverse closures" to within 20 seconds of arc, visually, on a VERNIER plate, with a reading glass. Each set of "stations" had to close in a ring to 360 degrees, using the "2N-4 Right angles"formula.
My Husband said that in addition to the rebar markers, he would have used the log skidder to place 2ftx2ftx6ft, 3,500lb interlocking concrete blocks at the corners as well. Too big for anybody to move without equipment and markedly definitive as to property boundaries.
I have heart trouble and can’t do things like I used to. Born with a bad heart. I look forward to your videos when you post. It’s like going back to the property that I grew up on. We always had a project. These videos make me feel like I’m part of something again. Thank you so much. Your hard work means a lot to some of us.
The surveyors said if you don't like your neighbor you should have bought their land first. That blew my mind because it is so true.
I’m with you Andrew. I hate developers! They get in there, chop everything up into the smallest pieces and then move on! 😡

It's a good day when Andrew posts.
That's not a machete.... it's a car stereo installation tool.
I firmly believe in strong, visible and up to date property markers set by professionals. Well done.
I like the way the surveyors aren’t just happy with the pins being within an eighth of an inch, it has to be “spot on” for them.
I always pour at least a 6" concrete disc at the foot of the pin. It keeps grass from obscuring the pin and makes them easy to spot.

I cant see Andrew annoying his neighbors growing up hes such a quiet boy..lol
Andrew, you're smart to mark your boundaries, and having surveyors with you was an excellent idea.

The one inch rebar is some nice overkill. The organizations I worked for (local government and private) used 1 in galvanized pipe.
