Engin��e�s Insp�ction oi the PropertV Loraled a; 261& and 2626 Rucker Avenue, Everett, lVasliingion Pa9e 2fi . I found no insulation in the tloors over the unde�`loor crawl space. I recommend a minimum' R value of 19 in this case. I tecommend that the weaiherstripping of the doors and windo��s of this building also be :mproved. This shouid be done with quality materials. The weatherstripping should be applied carefully to prevent the binding of openable units. �his building also presently h3s single glazing in the windows. The installation of double glazing or storm windows wiil improve comfort and substantiaily reduce heating costs. It will also signifiCantly reduce the penetratiun Of outside noise into the interior. However, it is expensive, and the economic returns often do not justify the expense. SECTION 8. �IMITA710N� ON INSPECTIONS Csriain limitations apply to any inspection, inciuding those oiligentiy performed hy a qualitied expert.

INSPECTION TIME: A limited amount of tfine is allored for each inspection. Normally, 2 to 2'/: hours, plus report preparation time, are allotted for a general inspection of a single family dwelling, This time limitation is imposed to keep the inspection cost reasonable and, in most cases, is sutticient to allow performance of an adequate inspeCtion. However, this amount of time places some obvious limitations on the detail and investigative work that the inspecting engineer can do. If he indicates, or if you believe, that additional inspection time is needed, you should request that he revisit the site to pertorm additional work, possibly at additional cost. . . .,-.. :r.:-..o,.:�::.�._. � .. .-.-:rr ..�.Lt � S�_::L- �t�ii; ''—'��IL��1l' OF DEFICIENCIES: Statements, representations, or conciusions oHered by the engin2er who COnducts the inspectipn and/or by NoRhwest Inspection Engineers, Inc, are based soiely upon a visual pxamination of the exposed areas oi the structure inspected.
