structural engineer

Today we had a structural engineer at our new place to do a visual inspection. There was a lot of stuff that he told us that we already knew.

• The roof leaks and needs replacing
• The wiring needs to be checked
• The concrete outside has settles and cracked

We did learn a few new things though

• The structure is in good condition, pretty sound.
• The bathroom downpipe is corroded and needs replacing
• All gutters and rainpipes need to be removed

The roof timbers seem pretty solid, and the air in the roof-space smelt dry, not musty. We won't know about any termite infestation until the roof is being replaced however.

Now we really need to find the right architect/designer to get everything happening.
