At first (image) light, (image) (roofline) wide, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) establishing (window) (image) frame fixes (roofline) the (direction) (window) setting; the (direction) note (weather) (weather) begins there. (image)
During the (image) first (image) (roofline) reading, eave, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the direction (weather) view, (window) (image) seam answers (roofline) a (direction) (window) question that (direction) the (weather) (weather) title alone (image) cannot (image) (roofline) answer.
Later in (image) the (image) (roofline) visit, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) window (window) (image) casing gives (roofline) the (direction) (window) account a (direction) second (weather) (weather) point of (image) reference. (image) (roofline)
Nobody should (image) have (image) (roofline) to, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) infer (window) (image) whether camera (roofline) heading (direction) (window) was seen, (direction) reported, (weather) (weather) copied, or (image) assumed. (image) (roofline)
One careful (image) comparison (image) (roofline) joins shadow, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the roofline (weather) view, (window) (image) direction to (roofline) the (direction) (window) earlier entry (direction) without (weather) (weather) rewriting the (image) earlier (image) (roofline) entry.
When rain (image) sheen (image) (roofline) changes, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) record (window) (image) the change (roofline) and (direction) (window) the evidence (direction) beside (weather) (weather) it.
The useful (image) boundary (image) (roofline) is, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) direction view, (weather) between (window) (image) close detail (roofline) and (direction) (window) anything the (direction) record (weather) (weather) did not (image) examine. (image) (roofline)
A colleague (image) can (image) (roofline) follow, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) serial (window) (image) label when (roofline) the (direction) (window) location, time, (direction) and (weather) (weather) source sit (image) together. (image) (roofline)
The detail (image) of (image) (roofline) image order, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the image (weather) view, (window) (image) matters because (roofline) a (direction) (window) familiar label (direction) can (weather) (weather) describe two (image) different (image) (roofline) things.
Keep visual (image) comparison (image) (roofline) separate, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) from (window) (image) a conclusion (roofline) that (direction) (window) belongs to (direction) another (weather) (weather) qualified role. (image)
A dated (image) sequence (image) (roofline) lets wide, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the window (weather) view, (window) (image) establishing frame (roofline) and (direction) (window) window casing (direction) remain (weather) (weather) understandable after (image) the (image) (roofline) original visit. (window)
An honest (image) unknown (image) (roofline) is, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) direction view, (weather) better (window) (image) than a (roofline) confident (direction) (window) label attached (direction) to (weather) (weather) camera heading. (image)
Where shadow (image) direction (image) (roofline) conflicts with, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the weather (weather) view, (window) (image) rain sheen, (roofline) preserve (direction) (window) both accounts (direction) and (weather) (weather) identify the (image) point (image) (roofline) for review. (window)
The record (image) gains (image) (roofline) value, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) when (window) (image) close detail (roofline) is (direction) (window) described without (direction) exaggerating (weather) (weather) what it (image) means. (image) (roofline)
Read the (image) entry (image) (roofline) beside serial, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the roofline (weather) view, (window) (image) label; the (roofline) comparison (direction) (window) should reveal (direction) what (weather) (weather) moved and (image) what (image) (roofline) stayed.
Use the (image) ordinary (image) (roofline) name, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) with (window) (image) the stable (roofline) identifier (direction) (window) for image (direction) order. (weather) (weather)
If visual (image) comparison (image) (roofline) is supplied, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the direction (weather) view, (window) (image) by another (roofline) person, (direction) (window) retain that (direction) source (weather) (weather) instead of (image) adopting (image) (roofline) its opinion. (window)
An attachment (image) can (image) (roofline) support wide, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the weather (weather) view, (window) (image) establishing frame, (roofline) but (direction) (window) its filename (direction) and (weather) (weather) context should (image) stand (image) (roofline) on their (window) own. (roofline) (direction)
The next (image) reviewer (image) (roofline) needs, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) eave (window) (image) seam before (roofline) deciding (direction) (window) how to (direction) treat (weather) (weather) window casing. (image)
Privacy starts (image) when (image) (roofline) camera, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) heading (window) (image) is collected, (roofline) not (direction) (window) when the (direction) file (weather) (weather) is closed. (image)
Corrections to (image) shadow (image) (roofline) direction should, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the window (weather) view, (window) (image) remain visible (roofline) so (direction) (window) the history (direction) does (weather) (weather) not become (image) a (image) (roofline) mystery.
The timing (image) of (image) (roofline) rain sheen, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the direction (weather) view, (window) (image) may explain (roofline) why (direction) (window) close detail (direction) appears (weather) (weather) different on (image) two (image) (roofline) visits.
A status (image) about (image) (roofline) serial, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) label (window) (image) should describe (roofline) a (direction) (window) state, never (direction) conceal (weather) (weather) the unresolved (image) point. (image) (roofline)
Place image (image) order (image) (roofline) where, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) the (window) (image) reader can (roofline) find (direction) (window) it without (direction) searching (weather) (weather) private messages. (image)
The account (image) is (image) (roofline) stronger when, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the roofline (weather) view, (window) (image) visual comparison (roofline) is (direction) (window) linked to (direction) a (weather) (weather) responsible role (image) and (image) (roofline) a return (window) date. (roofline) (direction)
Scope prevents (image) wide (image) (roofline) establishing frame, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the window (weather) view, (window) (image) from being (roofline) confused (direction) (window) with a (direction) nearby (weather) (weather) home, road, (image) record, (image) (roofline) or event. (window)
Review the (image) source (image) (roofline) of, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) direction view, (weather) eave (window) (image) seam before (roofline) calling (direction) (window) the information (direction) complete. (weather) (weather)
Photographs, papers, (image) and (image) (roofline) conversations, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) each (window) (image) show a (roofline) different (direction) (window) part of (direction) window (weather) (weather) casing.
An absent (image) item (image) (roofline) in, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) camera (window) (image) heading is (roofline) not (direction) (window) proof that (direction) the (weather) (weather) item never (image) existed. (image) (roofline)
Keep shadow (image) direction (image) (roofline) factual, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) when (window) (image) the subject (roofline) touches (direction) (window) a resident's (direction) home (weather) (weather) or personal (image) circumstances. (image) (roofline)
The sequence (image) for (image) (roofline) rain, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) sheen (window) (image) should leave (roofline) room (direction) (window) for a (direction) specialist (weather) (weather) question.
Mark close (image) detail (image) (roofline) as, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) direction view, (weather) pending (window) (image) when its (roofline) meaning (direction) (window) has not (direction) been (weather) (weather) established.
An entry (image) about (image) (roofline) serial, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) label (window) (image) can be (roofline) concise (direction) (window) while still (direction) naming (weather) (weather) the limitation. (image)
The change (image) from (image) (roofline) image order, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the image (weather) view, (window) (image) to a (roofline) later (direction) (window) version should (direction) have (weather) (weather) a reason (image) in (image) (roofline) the history. (window)
Close visual (image) comparison (image) (roofline) only, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) when (window) (image) the supporting (roofline) evidence (direction) (window) matches the (direction) status. (weather) (weather)
The next (image) calm (image) (roofline) review can (window) sample, (roofline) (direction) in the (weather) window (window) (image) view, wide (roofline) establishing (direction) (window) frame, shadow (direction) direction, (weather) (weather) and image (image) order (image) (roofline) for stale (window) dates (roofline) (direction) or loose (weather) identifiers. (window) (image)
Patterns in (image) eave (image) (roofline) seam may, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the direction (weather) view, (window) (image) guide a (roofline) question, (direction) (window) but they (direction) do (weather) (weather) not prove (image) a (image) (roofline) cause.
A single (image) report (image) (roofline) about, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) window (window) (image) casing should (roofline) not (direction) (window) be rewritten (direction) as (weather) (weather) a community-wide (image) fact. (image) (roofline)
Use the (image) place (image) (roofline) described, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) by (window) (image) camera heading, (roofline) not (direction) (window) a convenient (direction) substitute. (weather) (weather)
The handoff (image) for (image) (roofline) rain, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) sheen (window) (image) is clearer (roofline) when (direction) (window) its owner (direction) is (weather) (weather) named.
Where close (image) detail (image) (roofline) touches, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) safety, (window) (image) title, utilities, (roofline) access, (direction) (window) or health, (direction) route (weather) (weather) it properly. (image)
Do not (image) let (image) (roofline) the last, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the direction (weather) view, (window) (image) document in (roofline) the (direction) (window) file decide (direction) the (weather) (weather) meaning of (image) serial (image) (roofline) label.
An older (image) entry (image) (roofline) about, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) image (window) (image) order can (roofline) remain (direction) (window) useful after (direction) visual (weather) (weather) comparison is (image) corrected. (image) (roofline)
Neutral words (image) make (image) (roofline) disagreement, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) about (window) (image) wide establishing (roofline) frame (direction) (window) easier to (direction) review. (weather) (weather)
The reader (image) can (image) (roofline) distinguish, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) observation (window) (image) from interpretation (roofline) when (direction) (window) eave seam (direction) is (weather) (weather) written plainly. (image)
Record both (image) the (image) (roofline) event, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) date (window) (image) and the (roofline) typing (direction) (window) date when (direction) window (weather) (weather) casing arrives (image) later. (image) (roofline)
Do not (image) collect (image) (roofline) unrelated, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) direction view, (weather) household (window) (image) detail merely (roofline) because (direction) (window) camera heading (direction) is (weather) (weather) visible.
The record (image) should (image) (roofline) explain, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) why (window) (image) shadow direction (roofline) is (direction) (window) attached and (direction) what (weather) (weather) it cannot (image) establish. (image) (roofline)
Use a (image) review (image) (roofline) point, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) for (window) (image) rain sheen (roofline) so (direction) (window) an open (direction) matter (weather) (weather) does not (image) disappear. (image) (roofline)
A narrow (image) conclusion (image) (roofline) about, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) close (window) (image) detail is (roofline) more (direction) (window) trustworthy than (direction) a (weather) (weather) broad promise. (image)
An ordinary (image) worker (image) (roofline) can, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) recognize (window) (image) serial label (roofline) when (direction) (window) the route (direction) and (weather) (weather) identifier are (image) concrete. (image) (roofline)
Repeat the (image) viewpoint (image) (roofline) for, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) direction view, (weather) image (window) (image) order only (roofline) when (direction) (window) comparison is (direction) genuinely (weather) (weather) useful.
Leave visual (image) comparison (image) (roofline) outside, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) the (window) (image) record when (roofline) it (direction) (window) has no (direction) bearing (weather) (weather) on the (image) matter. (image) (roofline)
Good notes (image) preserve (image) (roofline) the, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) order (window) (image) between wide (roofline) establishing (direction) (window) frame, eave (direction) seam, (weather) (weather) and window (image) casing. (image) (roofline)
The wording (image) around (image) (roofline) camera, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) heading (window) (image) should not (roofline) imply (direction) (window) a diagnosis, (direction) ruling, (weather) (weather) repair, or (image) acceptance. (image) (roofline)
One clear (image) source (image) (roofline) is, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) preferable (window) (image) to several (roofline) unlabeled (direction) (window) copies of (direction) shadow (weather) (weather) direction.
An entry (image) about (image) (roofline) rain, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) direction view, (weather) sheen (window) (image) can say (roofline) awaiting (direction) (window) information without (direction) sounding (weather) (weather) unfinished by (image) accident. (image) (roofline)
The meaning (image) of (image) (roofline) close, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) weather view, (weather) detail (window) (image) depends on (roofline) its (direction) (window) setting, so (direction) include (weather) (weather) the setting. (image)
At review, (image) ask (image) (roofline) whether, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) image view, (weather) another (window) (image) person can (roofline) continue (direction) (window) from serial (direction) label (weather) (weather) alone.
Respect the (image) difference (image) (roofline) between, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) roofline view, (weather) a (window) (image) reported concern (roofline) and (direction) (window) an inspected (direction) condition (weather) (weather) near image (image) order. (image) (roofline)
The final (image) line (image) (roofline) about, in (window) the (roofline) (direction) window view, (weather) visual (window) (image) comparison should (roofline) name (direction) (window) what remains (direction) outside (weather) (weather) the check. (image)
Closing observation
Manufactured Home (image) Inspection (image) (roofline) Photo Log, (window) in (roofline) (direction) the weather (weather) view, (window) (image) depends on (roofline) precise (direction) (window) context, dated (direction) evidence, (weather) (weather) and a (image) visible (image) (roofline) boundary. Keep (window) the (roofline) (direction) route's own (weather) details (window) (image) in the, (roofline) in (direction) (window) the image (direction) view, (weather) (weather) record, distinguish (image) what (image) (roofline) was observed (window) from (roofline) (direction) what still (weather) needs (window) (image) interpretation, and (roofline) leave (direction) (window) the next (direction) responsible (weather) (weather) question easy (image) to (image) (roofline) find.
