600 St. Jules Lane

This is a big one, the first actual surveying job that I've gotten thru this blog, very nice. Interesting job. We shot it with a Leica TCR 1105 Robotic Total Station, it's my buddy's station, he was the one that actually taught me most of everything I know about surveying, at least early in my career, I've picked up a few more things along the way, and I got licensed, where he didn't, he does strictly construction layout, and they (the Surveyor's Board) don't really recognize that side of the industry as being (or needing) to have those guys licensed for some reason.
Anyway, this is the job we shot yesterday, and I drew it this morning,..

Peachers Mill Road, Clarksville, TN

Well, old friend, we haven't spoken in a bit,.. but here we are, haven't been doing a lot of drawing lately, we've paired back our staff quite a bit and I've been working in the field a lot lately, construction staking mostly, which is a good sign for the economy, and have also been working on a couple of intersections in Clarksville, and also, since we've spoken, went on a field trip to Lenoir City up by Knoxville, and set some GPS Control up there, that was an interesting and educational trip for me, because I have never run the GPS Equipment that we have. The system we have is fairly uncomplicated, real user-friendly, for the most part, once you get it dialed in,..it's a Leica Smart Rover, and I've just added another skill to my repertoire, that, and I've been learning also to use the robotic guns we have. They are a bit different as well, and really, I don't know how efficient they really are, it seems we always seem to have a hard time keeping it following us, would be faster in my opinion, for us sometimes just to use the conventional guns, but that's not my call. Of course, if you're just one man, then they are the way to go, but if you have two available, the conventional gun is more efficient. You can't talk to the robot, that's really the only draw back,..with a person over there, they can tell you where you need to be to get a shot, with the robot, you almost have to be able to see it, not always, and the guy I work with is really good with it, but I struggle a little.

Hilton Garden Inn -Excess Property

I've provided a link above if you're looking for some Nashville Commercial Real Estate, what they've got us doing here is cutting off the brand new parking area they built in the back,..and they want to sell it to some type of other business, I guess to recoup some moneys, because they have the parking garage there for their parking, and the extra space in the back is some prime real estate right there on Division Street,..shown as Lot 2 there, it's around a half acre or so.

Hilton Garden Inn Nashville Vanderbilt

Judging by this website,.linked above,..we need to go ahead and get busy on this one,..their taking reservations now,..new job we just got the other day, and I guess we're making two properties out of one, that's our purpose there, I guess they're gonna sell off the parking garage part of this property to one of the big parking lot companies,..anyway,.. we got this one because we had done the previous survey, I reckon, and now they've built this hotel on the site,.. this is what the site looked like two years ago.
