I think with a little intuition about where your lot is. . (like 3rd lot on left), and you know the dimensions of the lots, then you can have some idea where your lot is. Then you hire a pinfinder, and he "finds pins" (yes there are actually pins there), and the lot boundaries are the exact dimensions of your lot, . . .but somehow John, you're telling me that these pins could perhaps be in the middle of my lot? Or even that I am so stupid that I am now building on the wrong lot? And in this case, it wasn't "a few hundred" but $980, so if you like, you can just donate an extra $1000 to your buddies at IHS. I'm happy with the job done. This guy is not "uncle joe", as you apparently know who he is, you know he has experience. . AND BTW, the survey drawing I received is stamped by a LICENSED HAWAII SURVEYOR. Geez, people really like to rip into anyone who threatens their gravy train (or that of their friends). Just trying to help PW'ers have some consumer choices here.
