Greetings from Chiapas, México. Dirk seems like the perfect person to have as not only a surveyor, but also a detail guy. Every project needs one. Kudos on getting all that detailed information. Great progress!

How exciting 😆
This is going to be so interesting to follow along 🏚

[sammie]

Wow!!! That’s great what Dirk has done!!!
You guys have a big project ahead of you. But, both of you are healthy and in form and have determination for your house to be built. Of course, it will take time and obstacles will be in the way ( it’s always like that! hey that’s why it’s called life 😊) but I’m sure you’ll eventually achieve your house goals.😊
All the best!

Wow what a generous man Dirk is .such fantastic information for future planning.

Wow, I had no idea surveying technology had evolved to this level of detail with 3D/VR capabilities. This is pretty exciting to see. It's as if the software builds a highly sophisticated wireframe model of everything being surveyed and fills the mesh with photographic detail. This saves a ton of work as it used to have to be done somewhat manually & used to be not so accurate ... this is like a giant leap in geospatial modeling that I wasn't aware of until just now. 😲
