Do you report?

Noticed deteriorating paint in the firebox of a natural gas prefab insert today, no signs of any rust. Do you report this condition? If so why? Thanks!

I see no solid reason to report it. Every house I've ever seen has something much more worthy of the client's ear.

If that is all you are seeing I would not note it.

Thanks guys for your responses, didn't know if this would indicate a failure or eventaul failure of the firebox in some way, shape or form. Yes, there are many other things on this one worthy of the clients ear.

Johnny, it will eventually fail just like everything else. Right now the paint is just wearing off?.

Scott, your reply 'appears to be servicable'. []

I call that a metal fireplace in good condition. Maybe.

I would only be reporting on how well the flame comes on if it operates at all.
