    Construction Progression of A Small House

    Thanks for the advice BigA107. I didn't think about the possibility of giving the customer something he don't want. I'm planning a sit down to show customer some possibilities in order to find out what he had in mind versus what I had in mind. Thanks for helping prevent a potiential disaster.

    Mapping software for low AGL flights

    I found this beta program called Hammer (Precise & Automated Flights, with DJI drones | Hammer) that would probably work for you. It allows you to set up low flights with overlap. I'm using it to do low level (10 Ft) parking lot inspections.
