"But honestly, nothing beats getting up close for those subtle issues... drones sometimes miss things you'd catch by hand."
True, but I've had a few cases where climbing up myself actually made me overlook things—too focused on what I expected to find. Sometimes drone footage surprises me, revealing stuff I'd dismissed from ground level. Ever had that happen?

Yeah, I've definitely had drone footage catch stuff I missed. One time I was convinced the flashing was the issue, climbed up twice and saw nothing... drone footage later showed a sneaky crack in the ridge cap. Happens to the best of us!
Drone footage is handy, but honestly, nothing beats a good old-fashioned attic crawl. Last spring, I had this stubborn leak—checked shingles, flashing, gutters... nothing obvious. Finally dragged myself into the attic (not my favorite place, trust me), and there it was: a tiny nail hole letting water drip right onto the insulation. Patched it up quick and saved myself from bigger headaches down the road. Sometimes low-tech detective work still wins out.
Haha, attic crawls are the worst—dusty, cramped, and always hotter or colder than you'd expect. But you're right, drones can't spot everything. Ever found something totally unexpected up there while hunting leaks?
Honestly, drones catch more than you'd think. Sure, they miss some stuff hidden away, but crawling through attics is overrated—half the time you're sneezing and sweating without finding anything worth the hassle. I'd trust tech a bit more here...
