Haha, thermal imaging can definitely make you second-guess things. I've seen moisture spots that looked like hidden lakes up there. Ever had one of those inspections uncover something totally unexpected you couldn't spot from the ground?

Yeah, those thermal images can really mess with your head. Had an inspection once that revealed a whole section of insulation missing—no clue from the ground, roof looked totally fine. Ended up explaining why that room was always freezing in winter. If you're budget-conscious like me, catching stuff like that early saves a ton down the road... definitely worth the sci-fi vibes.

- Thermal imaging can be wild... ever find critters hiding up there?
- Had a similar case once, looked like a mini swamp—turned out to be minor condensation.
- Good catch on the insulation, saves headaches later for sure.

Thermal imaging's cool and all, but ever had it send you chasing ghosts? Once spent half an hour convinced I found a raccoon... turned out to be someone's forgotten lunchbox. Talk about anticlimactic.

Haha, been there myself—thermal imaging can definitely lead you down some weird rabbit holes. Did you notice any unusual heat signatures around vents or insulation gaps in your inspection? I once spent ages tracking what I thought was a leak... turned out to be just a warm spot from sunlight hitting the roof at an odd angle. Still, better safe than sorry, right? At least your ghost raccoon didn't cause any real damage.
