Generated explanation

Six vignettes identify locations to inspect for wood/soil contact around a house. Dashed outlines highlight the bases of garage walls and a fence, a timber retaining wall, and a timber-lined basement window well. A porch illustration highlights the stair base, under-porch enclosure, and adjacent wall base. A wall section shows wood siding and framing near an exterior concrete slab, while a deck illustration highlights support posts at ground level. The figure identifies inspection locations rather than explicitly rating each detail as correct or incorrect.
