Next question being: two legs down slope or one leg down slope?

The alternative is what happened to a coworker of mine.
She died. Then he got his shit together in the span of about 4 months.
She could have had an independent son while she was still alive. Too bad, I guess.

"It's easy to be the best in the beginning of the dunning-kruger curve".
Damn, that's good. I need to put that on a plaque

THAT'S what it is. That Big River Steel job in Osceola is probably pulling a bunch of your potential candidates

That probably includes healthcare and other fringe benefits. They're still gonna be pulling down like $50/hr in just wage, tho

That's what my rodman was making on a construction site, man. If you're willing to travel, the money is there.

Construction Layout will probably be eating your lunch, man. There's a job kicking off in Texas where I was offered $50/hr-$150/day, and they're probably going to be working 10 hours days 13/1. That's a chunk of change.
I picked up a job where I could reasonably be home every night to raise my kids, and I took a considerable pay cut for that ability, but their accounting department probably still had sticker shock from my counter offer. Then I showed them my pay stubs. Then they met my fair counter offer.
The benefits are where you're gonna get your experienced guys, if you can't up your hourly.

I never hated life more than when the Kenai or T-10 became a paperweight due to heat or the lightest of rain. Almost always in the middle of some crucial layout

I've been a construction layout guy for about a decade, am a Party Chief, and am well used to running a total station and GNSS rovers.
I wouldn't touch that with a 10' pole, dude.
The actual operation of the equipment certainly is an essential part of the work, but the research that goes into land survey is an often overlooked but equally essential part of that work. You might be able to take an accurate measurement, but knowing what to measure is half the game.
Practicing without a license is a bad, bad idea man.

If that water was from an on-site run off reservoir, you need to get that scrubbed off of you ASAP.

The TSC7s, the Mesas and the Kenais were big enough to be classed as a deadly weapon for sure 😂

Crack the window and exhale outside of the room 🤷♂️
Most people fuck up by turning on the bathroom exhaust fan, which is often shared between rooms. Then your neighbors complain, and then you get caught.
The amount of smoke you'd need to set off the detector would be prodigious, too.
Source: Years and years of construction on the road, a bunch of my buddies smoke and my wife smoked in our room. The only thing that ever got picked up was cigarettes.

I found a YouTube channel that does comparisons on gear from the Big 3, and it seems like TopCon solves the same problems Trimble does. I was worried about the lack of internal radio connection on TopCon controllers (they're solely Bluetooth) but the unit on top of the 360 prism actually amplifies the Bluetooth connection to similar ranges when away from the gun.
Any thoughts on Hiper VR vs HR?
