Nicely done, even and odd edge patterns, and the last part on rounding has nagged me for years, I'll use on those pesky .xx5 readings. 😀

By far the clearest explanation I’ve come across. I used to use a broken tape measure taped to an old broom handle for levelling

This is correct as long as the rod is held completely vertical. If the rod is leaned forward or backward, the reading will increase. When I worked for a surveyor, he would have me rock the rod forward and backward towards him slowly and he would read the smallest reading. You should always reverse your circuit to the beginning point to verify if there were any misreads.

Just to throw a monkey wrench in, half of the measurements are positive (the backsight) and half of the measurements are negative (the foresight). Since the odds of the reading that end at x.xx5 will be nearly split between + or - then however one rounds off a number doesn't matter as long as you follow that pattern consistently.

@larrypatterson39575 жыл бұрын
Same here. With all the professionals going to total stations, I was able to pick up a used Nokia Electronic Theodolite from a local engineering firm. It was in absolute excellent condition. They only charged me $300 for it. I set up my grade stakes. I was putting in a 25' x 50' building for parking a truck and horse trailer. It ran transverse across a fairly steep slope. On the back of my Kubota L-3200, there is a ~4" steel tube that connects to my box blade. I picked up a post hole level that straps to the tube from the local hardware store. It has large levels in both directions. I also installed top and tilt hydraulic kit on my tractor (One of the best things you can get for your Kubota). I had my wife sit on my lap and steer the tractor while I used the hydraulic controls to make about a three foot cut into the slope with my box blade, while making sure it was level in all directions. I had three people ask me why I had cut way too much dirt out. It was quite the optical illusion, but instruments don't lie (provided you have used them correctly). I installed a retaining wall on the upside of the slope and when done it worked great and was level all the way across. I use the instrument to set grade for the riding arena so the rain runs off and also for making large garden plots. I also used it to survey my boundaries on my odd-shaped property and help me locate all of my corner markers. If my septic system should ever fail, I am set with an instrument that will let me do the layout. I really appreciate these videos.

If you think that my information that I posted was not helpful, annoying, disturbing or is too much I am sorry. I worked very hard and put all of my effort on it for at least 2 years ago. If you don't like measuring height or length with the metric system, the decimal feet or the engineering tape measure you can always use the standard tape measure. And some of the standard tape measures do come with fractions of inches too. Just leave if you are not interested and if you are not good at measuring anything. Period.
