however, homeowner-placed-markers may not be very accurate if not set by a trained professional. You placing markers on your property boundary line to show where it's at is completely fine and legal, and has nothing to do with the property corners/monuments set or found by a surveyor. i'm going to throw out some answers to several of your questions, starting with the main one in the thread: I think there's a lot of miscommunication going on in this thread stemming from the vocabulary being thrown around.
