New House Build

Awesome progress, Richard! Pretty hard to beat those beautiful shots with the drone!

If I give you my coordinates could you do a fly by and check on my shop?

If in the neighborhood, yes.

I've "lost" my drone twice. Due to lack of attention to detail. Battery caused it to "critical land" before it got back to me. Once was while shooting video of a combine shelling corn. Landed in standing corn two rows off to the side of moving machine.

Thanks Terry.

I started hauling dirt last March. Been a long and stressful year. Will be glad when it's done.

I wish that I had a drone. I would use it on my field every time before I cut the grass. I nearly ran over a nest of wild turkey eggs one time. So I didn't run over them, but the crows found them. Sad.

I've not tried that Kyle. Wildlife are kinda freaked out by the drone. My Purple Martins go into a frenzy when I launch.

Last Summer I was brush cutting CRP in August. Twice I had to stop and shut off the tractor and wait for coveys of baby quail to get out of the way. Too small to fly.

I've spent enough on aerial photography (from an airplane) of my house in the past 20 years I could probably have bought my own inexpensive drone. I just might do that this summer, it looks like fun.

Beautiful spread. Your priorities seem to be well in place. Huge shop buildings, then a nice house. Somehow I don't think my wife would let me prioritize that way, so I say Richard should be granted a non-revocable man-card.

I enjoy it. I use a 9" tablet for a viewer. Much easier to see everything than using a phone. Last time I checked I had just over 500 flights logged. With no hotrodding and calm winds it'll fly 25 minutes. Most of my flights are 10-15. I've took a lot of pics and video of people's properties. I don't charge anything. Just do it to be neighborly. With all the extras I've got $1,500 invested.

I told Terry we'd need the shop to store building materials. So far that's worked well. 1/3 full now. On nasty days it gives my builders a warm dry place to eat lunch.

Really like the floorplan. My wife liked the floorplan, except she said not enough counter space, she would put a window above the sink, and counter the corner. And put pantry in laundry room. Lol

How big is shower stall?
