Site Plan - Construction Layout

Well,this blog is not really the best place to showcase some of this stuff,... this post is under construction, as is this residence, we also did the one next door.

Part of Lot 4 of the William White Lands

This is one we're currently doing,.. and it's an interesting bit of history, good story, more story, funny story,.. nice lady,.. all in one. More later, gotta work today.

Ft. Negley, Nashville, TN

Ft. Negley, Nashville, Tn,.. as promised, and as it looked around 5 years ago, they were supposed to use the survey to refurbish the site, however, I have not been back there lately to see how they've done, if all is well, it should look now like the pictures below, but this is what it looked like before they started. I've always kind of thought the overall effect of the survey looks like a whale,.. if you stand back,.and look at it,.. it's just a hill downtown, but it is one of the most unique sites I have ever seen, and it became one of those drawings that I took a great amount of pride in,..Not that I don't take pride in all of them,..but this one was historic, in my life, and in the real world, as well.. anyway, the drawing came out really nice, but it was a beast to shoot,.. and took three of us several days.

Radar Central

The "Tiki Hut",.. that's what the guys on-site call this,..it's where the super has his office,.. kudos to Chris for these pics and "Sweat Tea", for putting up with me all day,..and a job well done.



Job done,..whew,..taking a break, we were basically through at this point, had a couple things left, and were waiting on the superintendent to show us his proposed utilities, so we could add to the plans without a return trip.



Randy and me, checking over the plans,..making sure we've got everything "shot",..don't want to have to drive to Georgia, if we've missed anything,..



Chris and his "partner",.. we call him "Robbie",...



Randy "Sweet Tea" Stubblefield, and I, with Randy running our robot "gun",.. takes only one person to run that,..that's why I'm grinning, at that point, I was done for that day,.. ha ha,..



This picture is yours truly, running our "conventional" total station, meaning it takes one person on the "gun" (EDM, is the industry term-stands for Electronic Distance Measuring device, I suppose) and one on the "stick",..the pen, as it were,..



The tab on top today takes you to a tight little site, where you can look at the different radar coverages,.. anyway, this is the radar at the station at Windy Hill, my mother, being a mother, and also married now to my step-father, (great guy, btw) who is retired Air Force Military Police, seems a bit concerned that I'm giving away National Security secrets, by posting about this in my blog,. so,..if you're a terrorist, please to go away, before I poke you in your eye.

Elmington Park Partial Topographic Survey

Actually did this one about 2 years ago,.. just figured out how to post these,..so,..hey,..probably more in the future, can click right on the picture for close up view,.. this is basically the type of survey we were doing at the Windy Hill facility this week,..locate EVERYTHING, with elevations (vertical datum).. won't have that drawing for a bit, but found this one, was actually looking for a copy of our survey of Ft. Negley,..look there at that diagram,...and it still looks amazingly a lot like that,..have a survey here somewhere, full topographic survey of that one,..and it's one of my finest works,..very proud of it,..but can't find it,..I'm sure it's on the network at the office, backed up,.. but I used to keep a copy handy here.
Here's what it looks like,.. if I can get this to work,.momma's about to give up on me tho',..lol.



Will see if I can't find that to show to ya'll.
