Orientation plays an important role when considering the deterioration of building fabric. Our Building Surveyors receive many enquiries regarding Schedules of Condition and below is a property we were instructed to survey in East Yorkshire last week. Using a drone we are able to inspect the exterior of the property more closely and in greater detail. Can you guess which roof slope faces North? #ScheduleofCondition #Roofsurvey #buildingsurveyor #buildingsurveying #charteredbuildingsurveyor #roofinspection #roofdamage #damp

Its #NationalLighthouseDay You know, lighthouses are not that dissimilar to #doors, #frames and #hardware. Both are there for your protection, both can add aesthetic to a given place and both are old technology that has slowly been rebuilt and improved over time to aid in the perseverance of the places where they are needed. People rarely think of things like lighthouses or doors until they are desperately needed OR they malfunction. Here at LEEDING Architectural we want to make sure that your project stays well ahead of problems so that our clients never get put into the position of being desperately needed, and we only offer the products that have a strong record of #dependability and #innovation! So if you need a large structure to help guide boats safely to the shoreline, get yourself a lighthouse, BUT if you need the best products and #expertise in the door, frame and hardware sector, call LEEDING Architectural and let us light the way for your next project!

Very cool photography from Leo Anthony Geis. The illusion of the invisible building is pretty cool. Note also his reference to FAR Part 107. To operate a small unmanned aircraft (sUAS), often referred to as a drone, we need to understand the airspace we're operating in, be certified to do so, and get permission in certain circumstances. 107.41: "No person may operate a small unmanned aircraft in Class B, Class C, or Class D airspace or within the lateral boundaries of the surface area of Class E airspace designated for an airport unless that person has prior authorization from Air Traffic Control (ATC)."

In Part 2 of our RV Back Wall Disaster series, Dustin and Ashley dive deeper into the structural damage plaguing this 2022 Grand Design Reflection 31MB. The issues are more extensive than initially thought, affecting both the interior and exterior of the unit. https://lnkd.in/ggT-Jv23 Section #GrandDesignRV #Reflection

A great doorway really does complete a building. Even without a famous former US President standing outside, you'd instantly know which doorway this is and how it really fits the style and gravitas of the property. Picture taken from Pippa Crerar on X #doorsets #door #principaldoorsets

NEWS: Virginia-Built Speedy Ocean Liner to Become World’s Largest #ArtificialReef. "She was the fastest ocean liner of her day, and incredibly… still is the fastest. The SS United States still holds the transatlantic speed record for a liner. Soon, she’ll hold a very different record: world’s largest artificial reef. ... (Designer, William Francis) Gibbs used all aluminum to keep the United States light. She was 100 feet longer than the Titanic, and all the furnishings were made fireproof. Almost no wood was used on board, but even the wooden piano was flame-proof. ... In her maiden voyage, the United States reached speeds of 36 knots. The ship shattered the previous transatlantic speed record, and the United States record has yet to be broken by another liner. The ship, nicknamed America’s Flagship, went on to carry four U.S. presidents and movie stars like Marilyn Monroe, Cary Grant, Marlon Brando and Judy Garland (among others). Even the commander of the ship was a celebrity; Commodore Harry Manning had been a co-pilot of Amelia Earhart. The United States has been sitting in Philadelphia for years, rusty but structurally sound, with an uncertain future. A contingent contract was just approved to move the ship to Destin-Fort Walton Beach, Florida, where she would be intentionally sunk offshore and transformed into a #scubadiving mecca."

https://lnkd.in/dtFcvqJ7 A couple points here, this is a "typical" representation of construction or agricultural shed and staging areas that I use from time to time for training. It is a rental yard that changes constantly, with concrete mixers, scaffolding, piles of tile and plenty of "stuff" after a storm. You'll see several times where the Avata is at its minimum operating height, approximately 10-15cm. (~6 inches) In these moments, the drone will "dip" as I engage the landing process and immediately tap "up" to cancel the landing. If the tap is too long, the drone will re-engage into minimum height -- but at the right speed you can cancel the landing and maintain a near-zero flight for going under items. This is a high risk maneuver in terms of allowing the drone to move under items where it might get caught up. I usually do it as a glance movement, but at the end you can see where I extend the near-zero flight for a few seconds to see how long before something engages the downward sensors again. Things that will re-engage the vision sensors include reflections, light, movement (even big clumps of dust) so this is not at all a typically recommended maneuver -- however it's good to feel comfortable with at least the glance. I like searching this yard from time to time because efficiently chopping up a small area of interest into high-medium-low risk search makes sense and sort of gamifies things. The yard changes every couple weeks at least, so while I know the overall size of the yard, dropping in with the Avata will be my first view of how things are distributed at that moment. Also, notice when the props suck in a wayward oak branch. Don't panic -- a few seconds in and the little twig was cut off and while I lost some yaw control, I was able to bring the little guy back and it brought about 4 inches of branch with it. Crazy capacity in this little package. This was right before I started to tinker with the frame replacement -- a last hurrah before tearing this particular Avata apart. Extra points if anyone knows the music! Tom Palmaers Tim Martin Ross Laing - Edinburgh Drone Company Jeremiah Wong
