SITE INSPECTION. ( Continued )

WALLS ( Continued )

Some ef the door openinas appears to have been: blocked
some time aao.
Doors & windows are operating smoothly. Only ata couple

of locations doors appear to have been cut to £4t the
door frame.

FLOOR JOISTS and COLUMNS.

Second ficer and roof joists were - exposed and inspected
at several locations at @ach #loor level. Thev all are
in good conditions.

All columns inside the building ar also in " good:
condition " ;

EXTERNAL STAIR=-CASES.

The two external stair~cases on the East & North side
have deteriorated beyond repair due to weathering and
little or no maintenance.

OBSERVATIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS

The base sill plates and some of the studs on South side
must be removed and replaced. We feel that the
Principal cause of deterioration of the base sill plates
is " continuous damp conditions" , because of the base
plates being generally below orade level.

All base sill. plates ( on North & East sides ) must be
exposed and inspected during repair work.

The new base sill plates must either be treated timber
or ( preferably ) the perimeter concrete wall must he
raised a minimum of 6-8 inches above grade level.

This work must be $usBMy| AGE) Professional Engineers.
