Mike Lamb Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Would you put badly rusted lintels in the structural or exterior section of your report? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 I wrassled with this some years ago. Sometimes both depending on how bad they are, but mostly, like >95%, go into Exterior. I do that because the repair options, cost, and general hassle are about exterior masonry. That's how people think about it anyway, if they think at all. In my inventory descriptions of all the crap in a building, I put them under Structural, though. They're a structural element. But, my format is such that I can describe them in either place and it makes sense in the list of defects. The beauty of designing my own system......I can make it any way I want. So, I got a dichotomy in reportage that I lose absolutely zero sleep over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Lamb Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Thanks. It went to exterior. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chad Fabry Posted March 24, 2016 Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Either. Exterior for facade and structural for masonry construction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 Exterior if it is a veneer-situation... structure if the masonry is a load-bearing wall issue.. That's what I do anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
