Travelling light

Today we had a visit from a professional surveyor to carry out a valuation on our property (No, we are not moving).

Rather than a bulky briefcase holding a large, cumbersome measuring tape, notebooks, pens, theodolites, etc, he carried a “laser distance measure “ and a mobile phone

That’s all he needed to do the do the work.
Measure the size of a room and type notes into the phone.

Job done.
