It is always interesting to watch your (and Jesse's) videos since it gives me a better understanding of how surveying works. I told you that I worked in the commercial construction industry and I do remember the surveyors with their books writing in the data for their sets. When I was a foreman was I responsible for the concrete pours on anything from tilt-ups to high rises. I have some experience setting up a laser level, taking a reading off a benchmark, either adding or subtracting for the required elevation then working with a bulldozer for the final sub-grade before a slab pour. I can only laugh when I hear the likes of Brian's Logic and FE Flatzoid who claim that "eye level" converges downward in the distant with their poorly setup demonstrations using a level app on a phone. One of Brian's video is hilarious because if his phone was really "leveled" correctly then his counter-top sloped downward over 3 inches in 6 feet.
Your laser level is far more sensitive and accurate than a cell phone app, that's for sure! I always get a kick out of FE'ers equating a counter-top to the surface of the Earth. They'll do and say _anything_ to avoid going outside and making precise measurements with accurate equipment.
@@TheMaineSurveyor I always get a kick out of flat earthers using objects the far end of floors, that they think are perfectly flat and level, as "proof" that objects magically disappear from the bottom up because of the Rayleigh Criterion or diffraction limit. Having overseen hundreds of slab and deck pours I can guarantee that there is no such thing as a perfectly flat and level floor. The first rainstorm quickly shows all of the high and low areas. In flat earth videos where they use a hallway you can clearly see the baseboard molding undulate up and down as it goes off in the distance.
Thanks, man! Ever notice that the critics of the measurements we provide clearly don't understand how the equipment works or what angular measurements are?
@@TheMaineSurveyor , off the top of your head, can you reply with a list of these wannabe so called surveyors? I only encountered one with any real skill and some experience, Chris van Matre. Now we have Bev, Brian Leake, Brian's logic, but that's all I know of. There's more, but they hide because they're smart enough to know they don't really know anything.
@@JesseKozlowski Don't forget Flat Earth Fisherman. He just says, "Nuh uh," but offers no measurements to counter what is presented. Chris seems to have backed off from talking about surveying the "flat earth."

Nice work TMS. Does anyone think Brian Leake has ever used a theodolite? I doubt he has, but he certainly could learn to.

@@TheMaineSurveyor , oh yea that guy. I think I'll stick with forgetting him :)
@@JesseKozlowski Good plan! You're not missing anything!
