Rant: My client swore his backyard was a perfect rectangle

He kept saying it was exactly 30 by 40 feet, but when I laid out the string lines, one corner was off by almost two feet. I had to redo the whole paver layout from scratch. Has anyone else had a property measurement just be completely wrong like that?

@xena_anderson right? Probably measured it from the deck with his eyes half squinted. I once told a client their yard was 50x60 and it ended up being 48x58, guess my eyes need calibrating before I let them measure anything lol.

Ever think they just eyeballed it from their deck and called it good? Like, did they even own a tape measure?

Hey, they probably had a good eye for that stuff back then!
