The document describes the process of base mapping a rental property. It discusses measuring the lot, drawing a rough draft on notecard, mapping the fence and sidewalk which were at angles, adjusting curves due to the sloped lot, and mapping the slanted house. A legend was made and backyard items like a patio, trees, and utility poles were added. The final product was a base map of the rental property with measurements. The conclusion discusses the challenges of precisely measuring and mapping a rented property with space limitations.

1. Base mapping Lira
Week 2 Base Mapping

2. Measurements
I started with google earth but ended up
having to do the measurements myself
due to small inconsistencies when I was
trying to transfer it to paper.

3. Rough Draft
We did this on the back of a notecard ended up having to
change and redo most of the footage since this was all
done with google earth.

4. Street and sidewalks
I started off with the intersection next to my house. It
worked as a baseline to double check everything I did
afterwards.

5. Fence
While I was working on the fence I ran into the first hurdle. I
noticed that my lot was not straight on with the road. It
was more at an angle since the back fence was 63 ft and
the front was 86 ft.

6. Sidewalk part 2
I had to adjust the curve since the lot was slanted it was
throwing off all my measurements.

7. The house was also slanted on the lot. It took me a few
tries to get the proper angle of the east wall.

8. Legend
Made a legend, based it off construction diagrams. Pretty simple,
didn’t have a lot to mark in the yard just a patio, some tress and
bushes a telephone pole and a cable drop.

9. Backyard items
Had to add the patio, the fence around the patio, the tree,
telephone pole and cable drop.

13. Conclusion
 In conclusion, I found this project challenging. I found myself constantly double checking
my measurements on paper and then redoing them in my backyard to make sure they
were precise. We would of had a lot of area to work with had we owned the property but
since we rent we are limited to what we can build in raised garden beds. We are
currently working on a future garden bed to raise our crop since we cannot dig into the
soil. I found this diagram useful for planning my future homestead including my garden
bed and livestock I plan to raise.
