Cladding
The chamferboard appeared to be in relatively sound condition given its age. There was typically no
evidence of insect damage or rot at key locations where such damage would normally be evident (eg at
window edges and building corners likely exposed to pooling water). There was widespread minor
defects to the chamferboards including visible damage, paint flaking, discolouration and rust stains
around nail heads.

Window framing
The window framing inspected appears to be in reasonable structural condition without visible evidence
of water damage (rot). The frames have not been maintained recently and as such the timber is
partially exposed to the elements without paint protection. Despite this, the hardwood frames appear to
be in reasonable condition.
