Hello PJH. I follow you on the "wiggle in" procedure you wrote for Steve. By gradually moving the transit horizontally you will eventually get the transit over the line and it would sight in the stakes over the two end pins when rotated 180. I suppose you could move past the line horizontally and see if you went too far. Also I further suppose you could basically triangulate to the pins by looking at the angles when you are say 10' or 20' or more on either side of the line and still reproduce the center line on top of the hill.
What I don't quite follow is the "double centering" unless you are also referring to also doing a vertical center since you are marking to 3 spots on the helper's stake which I presume is a vertical stake. With that information you can also determine the change in elevations of the pins and the hill and all along.
Once a person has a transit on the line then it would make sense to have the helpers drive stakes every so often to make it easier to run a string line or laser for a series of fence posts.
Then you have to sort out with the neighbor on if you are putting the fence right on the line or just off the line so it is clearly on your land.
Then you have to know the law in your state. In KS the general law is that you are required to fence out someone's cattle. That never made sense to me. Some places follow the free range rule. That said if you have cattle/horses in your fenced field, you can be held liable if you don't build and maintain it tight in accordance with the standard which is usually 4 strands of barb wire with posts spaced a rod apart.
I watched a week old calf run into and through a 5 strand barbed wire fence with tight wire along a state highway where the wire spacing was 12" so even a good fence doesn't always work.
