Cain <br /> January 16, 1984 <br /> Page 2. <br /> apparent at the time of inspection, nor was there evidence of <br /> any other pests such as earwigs , unts , rodents , etc. No pro- <br /> bings were made in or on these premises nor were furnishings <br /> moved since this would tend to cause damage to same. <br /> The fire damage extends over 80� of the Pirst and second floors. <br /> No fire damage was noted in either tlie basement crawl area or <br /> the attic. Some external damage was noted on the exterior oS the <br /> house on the west side. <br /> Although some of the wood work and trim can be salvaged, it <br /> will not be economically feaeible to refinish much of the wood <br /> work in the living room, dining room and stairs on the first <br /> floor and the stairs and one bedroom on the second floor. There <br /> is much plaster damage in these areas and some floor damage . <br /> Studs and other structural members thut could be examined, did <br /> not show extensive dsmage. However, hidden damage is possible <br /> and should be expected as clean up arogresses. <br /> The heating system should be made operational . However, before <br /> being put back into service, the heating unit and system sUould <br /> be thoroughly cleaned, serviced and adjusted for proner operation. <br /> This servicing should include all gauges , controls , etc. <br /> The roof is sho��ing signs of wear and should be kept under obser- <br /> vation. Its replacement should Ue planned for soon . <br /> Gutters are in poor condition and should be cleaned and/or re- <br /> placed. Dry rot evas noted in botl� the edges oP the roof struc- <br /> tures and around the gutters. This should be repaired. <br /> Since the electrical system was diconnected, no comments can be <br /> made concerning its status or operational conditions. However, <br /> the wiring for each iixture and switch should be inspected for <br /> damage and between the wall wiring should be examined in ull <br /> areas that are opened for repairs. <br /> The plumbing s;/stem is inoperative and could not be tested. All <br /> of the pipes that were disconnected should be reconnected beiore <br /> water is turned on again. <br /> I trust that this report covers the area of interest. If you <br /> have any questions, please contact me. <br /> Yours very trnly, <br /> 2iOT1E INSP�CTION CONSULTa TS <br /> �������� � ���. <br /> �dv;ard P.
