Recently, I just happened to notice a structure off in the distance on my way to work. The only reason it caught my eye is because there were a few other vehicles there for a day or two. Here is a closer look with the drone. Turns out it isn't new construction after all and I'm not really sure if someone is actively working on it. Checking the satellite view on Google Earth ( you can scroll back in time all the way to 1996), this structure has been there for over 20 years...it even had a roof 2 years ago.

Im sure this has been covered elsewhere but please indulge me: what is the make/model of the drone/camera you use for these aerial videos? And how has your experience been with it? Recommended?
The drone comes home to Papa. Appropriate music. Good selection. Evidently someone is still keeping their interests there. Was that the man with the children who lived there?
…multas gratias! (I take back some of the uncomplimentary things I muttered under my breath… ;-)) — I find topography from directly overhead confusing & hard on the eye - used GooMaps - place still has roof there (had roamed that area, but missed it - quite the long road - from the "main road" in to it) GooEarth must be more current… close on the jobsite? - 1.1 miles from tfl, off Lavaca RD…? overheads
