My house will turn 17 years from its construction next March. The housing company which had built my house advised us to get the house inspected about the outer wall and the roof. I wrote about the inspection of my house in the 10th year here (link). As I wrote, the observation of the roof was done with a camera attached on the top of a rod. You can see pictures of those days in my entry. 7 years has passed since then, and the method of inspection was changed this time.
A drone was used to observe the roof and the outer wall this time. I felt that the observation became finer and closer. The use of drones wasn't prevalent 7 years ago, but now it has become popular. It would be also one of the good examples of conversion of technology from military-use to commercial-use. No matter how it was developed, the technique was thankful. I was looking at how the inspection was done. In general, there were no signs requiring urgent repair, but the detailed report is supposed to come to us.

自宅点検
我が家は新築からもうすぐ１７年を迎える。先日、建築会社から案内があり、今日、屋根と外壁の検査担当者が来て、検査を受けた。１０年目の検査の時はこの記事のように竿の先にカメラを付けて屋根の点検を行った。外壁は目視だけ。
どんな検査だったかというと、ドローンを使った詳細な検査だった。７年前にはまだ一般的ではなかったドローンの利用が今や誰でもが使えるようになった。これも軍事技術が民生用になった一例だろう。経緯はどうあれ、有り難い。検査の様子をずっと眺めていた。概ね問題ないようだったが、検査結果は後日動画を詳細に検討してから届けられるとのこと。
