TERMINOLOGY The purpose of this report is to provide the client with objective information regarding the condition of the property inspected. All of the following definitions (in accordance with ASHI standards) are based on a limited visual inspection of the readily accessible, visually observable, installed systems and components of the property as inspected at the time of the inspection. It is the goal of the inspection to put a home buyer in a better position to make a buying decision. Not all improvements will be identified during this inspection. Unexpected repairs should still be anticipated. The inspection should not be considered a guarantee or warranty of any kind. ACCEPTABLE: At the time of the inspection the system or component is; ) performing its intended function ) not in need of MAJOR CONCERNS / SAFETY HAZARDS ) not in need of REPAIRS ) not in need of being MONITORED (for any specific reason) 5) not in need of MAINTENANCE / IMPROVEMENTS. However, an acceptable system or component may show signs of normal wear and tear and aging. Most systems and components in properties wear out over time. ACCEPTABLE SHOULD NOT BE CONFUSED WITH "PERFECT". - MAJOR CONCERNS / SAFETY HAZARDS: ) The system or component is not performing its intended function. and/or ) The system or component is a safety hazard to the occupants of the property. and/or ) The system or component has a high probability of incurring substantial expense to repair or replace now or in the near future. MAJOR CONCERNS / SAFETY HAZARDS should be evaluated by qualified contractors before closing. It is our intention that MAJOR CONCERNS / SAFETY HAZARDS be thoughtfully considered BEFORE CLOSING. - REPAIRS: The system or component needs corrective action at the time of the inspection to assure proper and reliable function. Items listed as REPAIRS should be evaluated by qualified contractors. If left unattended REPAIRS can become MAJOR CONCERNS / SAFETY HAZARDS REPAIRS could be remedied either before or after closing. This will be your decision to make. - ITEMS TO MONITOR ) The system or component is showing some signs of past and/or possibly present defects but we are not able to exactly determine if the defects are active or inactive and, therefore, if repair or replacement may be necessary now or in the near future or not at all. (For example - a water stain on a ceiling that is dry at the time of the inspection may just be evidence of an old leak that was repaired. We can not know for sure, therefore we recommend monitoring the stain.) ) The system or component is nearing the end of its expected useful life and/or shows signs of wear and tear that indicate that the system or component could need repairs or replacement soon. : We use this category to identify systems or components which are in need of routine maintenance for a property of this age. Periodic maintenance and servicing is necessary in all properties to insure continued proper operation of the systems or components. In most cases improvements are given on items that are older and now newer and safer methods and standards exist. Improvements are not required but are recommended and should be considered and budgeted for. 5 - GENERAL COMMENTS / LIMITATIONS We use this category to make all kinds of general comments about the property. These can range from helpful suggestions to interesting observations to specific limitations about the inspection. Copyright 999, ON-SITE Solutions, All rights Reserved Page #

Photos - MAJOR CONCERNS / SAFETY HAZARDS - REPAIRS - One of the lighting rods has pulled away from the roof. This should be evaluated and repaired by a qualified contractor. - (See Photo ) - The gutter run off drains do not extend away from the house sufficiently which is causing water problems around the foundation of the house. - (See Photo 8) - ITEMS TO MONITOR - Patching was noted on the roofing. We were not able to determine the effectiveness of this repair. This area should be monitored regularly - (See Photo ) - The roofing shingles have small bubbles or blisters in the surface of the shingles. These can sometimes get worse at the house ages and some may pop and cause the gravel to come off. This should be monitored as the house ages - (See Photo ) - The flashing at the chimney has been heavily coated with tar or caulking. This should be considered a temporary patch only. Patching usually means that leaks have occurred in the past. We can not determine the effectiveness of the patching. - (See Photo 5) - (See Photo 6) - The chimney has some deterioration of the bricks and/or mortar joints. - (See Photo 7) - The roof has some minor algae growth on the shingles. This does not appear to be damaging the shingles and could be cleaned off with bleach if desired - (See Photo ) - Roof inspection is limited to the visible portions only. No certification, warranty or guaranty is given as to the water tight integrity or remaining useful life of the roof. Roofing life expectancies can vary depending on several factors. This assessment of the roof does not preclude the possibility of leakage. Leakage can develop at any time and may depend on rain intensity, wind direction, ice build up, etc. - The inspection of any chimneys is general and not technically exhaustive. A detailed evaluation of the interior components of the chimneys is beyond the scope of this inspection. For a detailed evaluation of the chimney(s) please consult with a certified chimney sweep. 5 6 Copyright 99-00, ON-SITE Solutions, All rights Reserved Page #

Any mechanical equipment can fail without warning at any time. - The inspection of the heating system is general and not technically exhaustive. A detailed evaluation of the furnace heat exchanger is beyond the scope of this inspection. - We did not operate the heat pump in the cooling mode as the outside air temperature was too low to safely operate. The condition reported reflects the operating condition in the heating mode only. - (See Photo ) 5 Copyright 999, ON-SITE Solutions, All rights Reserved Page #8

A certified professional engineer is recommended where there are structural concerns about the building. - Water seepage and moisture penetration is common is most basements and crawl spaces, usually resulting from inadequate exterior drainage control. Many water problems can be greatly improved by correcting grading and water control around the foundation. 5 6 7 Copyright 999, ON-SITE Solutions, All rights Reserved Page #5
