I want to build a garage/shed. Went to the parish (county) office to find out about getting permit. They tell me first thing I need is a Elevation Survey. Finished grade of floor must be at or above 22 feet. So I call and get 3 estimates on cost and what needs to be done.
1) $650 ... 2 trips to property. First will be to set stake and second will be to verify that I built to stakes. Will go off a grade marker by the state highway. That is 3 miles away.
2) $500 ... 3 trips to property. This guy says he will use GPS so does not need to go off marker by highway. First trip will be to download info to GPS. Second would be to set stake after he puts info threw his computer at home. Third trip will be to verify that I built to stakes.
3) $300 ... 2 trips to property. This guy says he can give me the elevation and set the stakes from the GPS machine. Does not need to download to house computer saving a trip. Second trip will be to verify that I built to stakes.
Now I am more confused than when I started. While I can see differant prices I did not expect three differant ways of doing the same job. I want to choose #3 because of cost but have learned over the years that less cost is not always the best job; and I really need this to be done right the first time. If I build and I am not at 22 feet it will need to be torn down.

Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
