  1. I'm just beginning to think about a substantial (ish) project at my real home for 1-2 years time, which may also involve a certain amount of garden remodelling. That would be a rearrangement of rooms and a loggia / car port across the front, new gates and a few other bits. I am exploring some of the pros and cons of a secondhand Total Station. This is not something I know that much about, though I have helped with surveys in the past - holding the staff for dad etc, or done small ones and the trig calculations, and am used to commissioning them. 1 - Is it Leica Leica Leica, or are there credible alternatives? 2 - If I want one which does GPS so can be used by one person, what budget am I looking at for something that will last for say 5-10 years? (All very approximately) Cheers Ferdinand
  2. I hope this is the right place to post this ....and i hope you "pro's" dont think I am cheeky ....but here goes. I am in the process of submitting Full App for a house and its has already had losts of unexpected costs and stuff (i wont bore you with) ....So I have tried to save a few sov's ...whenever i could . Teaching myself the basics in Autocad ...and reading up on Surveying and the like ... So when on the Pre-App it also said "site levels would be an advantage" and also mentioned "spot levels" I of course sat in front of youtube vidoes and read some free PDF on my ereader about basic surveying..back sight, fore sight, temporary datums and how to represent them on autocad . So i went to a pal that i REMEMBERED had a level and staff ...but he has flogged it on the old eBay, last year. a lovely Basic Leica Model with Tripod and 5m staff too ...he only use it for a week ..DAMN. So what I am asking is does anyone have a functional or spare set for sale ? Feel free to call me a cheapscate, blackleg ..or whatever the terms are these days LOL
