March 30, 2007 Winslow Residence 352 Mulberry St. Howesville, NC 24345 Reference: Professional Cost Estimates to remediate, repair, and reconstruct current residence to a satisfactory and safe livable condition. I am pleased to report that Construction Managers, Inc. has completed its professional cost estimates of the Winslow home as requested. We have prepared two complete cost estimates. One cost estimate represents repairing the present structure and grounds back to its original condition. The other cost estimate reflects demolition of the present structure and rebuilding a new home exactly the same as the present home. The Winslow home is a one-story structure with full basement and attic space. The home contains 2,371 heated square feet. The basement has 515 square feet. The main floor has 1,490 square feet with a bonus room consisting of 366 square feet.

EVALUATION WINSLOW RESIDENCE

During our evaluation, we analyzed and determined the scope of work and price of all work which will be required to reconstruct or build a new home. We have carefully inspected every room of the Winslow existing home including the basement, attic, and exterior of the structure. We have viewed photographs taken after the impacts from trees up to the present. We have read the reports by Indoor Environmental Systems, Inc. and McGee Enterprises, Inc. These reports give detail assessments for the current condition regarding mold, water intrusion, and structural damage of the Winslow home. The reports give us the necessary information for mold remediation and what is required to return the home back to a satisfactory and safe environment. The Winslow home is uninhabitable and requires major mold remediation and moisture removal, with substantial construction to remove and replace portions of the home that cannot be cleaned. My opinions as to the expense of doing what is necessary to return the Winslow home to its proper condition are accurately reflected in my attached reports. Page | 1

This is an example of a condition assessment report letter created by Construction Managers, Inc. The report summarizes the damages to the project and the professional recommendations to restore the building to its original condition.

03/30/07

The primary factor causing the practical destruction of the Winslow home was trees falling on the structure during an ice storm in February 2003. The massive impact from the trees and water intrusion has for the most part destroyed this home. The home is severely contaminated by mold, and will require a thorough mold remediation, followed by clearance testing, before construction-related remediation and repairs can commence. The water intrusion and growth of mold will require removal and replacement of all flooring and carpets, roll-vinyl wall base, ceilings, and drywall throughout the structure. There is evidence of several major roof leaks resulting from fallen trees. The leaks have allowed excessive water intrusion and moisture into the structure which has contributed to the mold contamination The moisture accumulation due to structural damage is the primary cause of the present mold. The buildup of moisture can, and in this case did, feed mold growth. I have been involved with many storm damage related projects and found this one to be one of the worst. The project repair and reconstruction costs far exceed the home’s value and one can build a new home for less money. It is my professional opinion the present home should condemned. Based on our cited references, cost estimates, and professional experience we stand ready, willing, and able to perform all work required to restore the home to its original condition for the amount of $614,301.00. We can rebuild an exact new home and grounds for $448,466.00. We hope to have the opportunity to work with you on this project.

Sincerely,

Sam E. Sasser

Fungal/Mold Assessment Report Prepared For Bob Cummins 3521 Community Church RD Pfafftown, NC 27040 Inspection date: 01/31/2007

MOLD ASSESSMENT REPORT WINSLOW RESIDENCE

Prepared By: Indoor Environmental Systems, Inc Steve McLeod 924 West Chatham Cary, NC 27511

A professional remediation contractor’s scope of work report was used to create the project estimate.

03/30/07

3521 Community Church RD Pfafftown, NC 27040

Summary This is a follow-up inspection. The assessment focuses on the condition of the personal items that are currently in the residence as well as an assessment as to how the home should be remediated. The scope of services includes a limited visual and mechanical assessment of easily accessed areas within the above stated residence. The results are presented in the following report. Included in the report are hypothesis regarding causation and recommendations for remediation. This report provides a general scope of work for water and fungal damage restoration. There are many hidden areas (wall and floor cavities) that have not yet been exposed. Indoor air quality testing for fungal components was not done during this assessment.

MOLD ASSESSMENT REPORT WINSLOW RESIDENCE

Inspector:

Steve McLeod CEO CMC

Purpose:

To assess the current condition of the building and the personal items within. To make a recommendations as to the salvage- ability of the personal items and general procedures for water damage and fungal restoration.

Findings – Water:

The following areas continue to be affected by water intrusion, fluctuating humidity levels and temperature ranges; the majority of the structure and its contents: roof, attic, attic decking, 1st Fl living area ceilings, suspect water intrusion and microbial activity within the perimeter walls and floor cavities, suspect structural damage to the fireplace, also the basement ceilings, walls and floor, the air distribution system and occupants personal contents within the building.

Condition – Fungal: i

1st Floor Surfaces - Condition 3 (actual growth) There is visual fungal growth, on numerous personal items throughout the first floor. Basement - Condition 3 (actual fungal growth); There is visual fungal growth on numerous personal items throughout the basement and in the work shop area.

Primary damage:

Water intrusion has affected building material (swelling, shrinking and delaminating of window molding, flooring, and furniture as well as foundation wall cracks)

Secondary Damage:

Fungal pollution and decay of affected building material personal items and homeowner complains of health symptoms which he associates with the water and fungal damage. The homeowner has been living in the building for approximately 3 years during the litigation process. Insect damage is the suspected cause of holes in the fabrics throughout the building.

Recommendations: 1. Contact environmental physician for occupant’s health risk assessment. 2. Inventory and consider discarding all personal porous items. 3. Inventory and clean all semi-porous and hard surfaces which still have structural integrity or other value. There is furniture within the house which may be cleaned but is not structurally sound due to repeated expansion and contraction of the wood. 4. Structural evaluation of the building (walls on 1s floor and foundation wall on basement level). The owner states there is structural damage to the foundation due to the impact of a falling tree and reoccurring water intrusion. The cost of water and fungal remediation to this structure may be more than the cost of demolishing the building and building a new structure. 5. Stabilize the environment: a. Repair leaks/moisture intrusion issues. i. Finish drying in the building: structural engineer or roofing contractor should inspect the roof rafters and address thermal envelope issues such as cracked window moldings and exterior brick finishes and I suspect perimeter wall sheathing may also be cracked due to house movement and damage caused by repeated water intrusion. Once a structural integrity has been confirmed drying in of the building may commence; roof, siding, windows and finishes. b. 1st floor; remove all interior perimeter wall finishes: water repeatedly flowing through wall cavities has created an environment that may compromise the integrity of the wall system building material, while creating an environment conducive to microbial growth. Visual inspection of the wall cavity for structural evaluation and fungal remediation is recommended.

MOLD ASSESSMENT REPORT WINSLOW RESIDENCE

c. Kitchen: cabinets, perimeter walls, ceiling, and floor. d. Living Room: perimeter walls, and floor e. Hallway: Ceiling and floor: Once the floor finish has been removed and inspection for water intrusion down the hallway walls needs to be investigated. If water signs are evident to recommend exposing the hallway wall cavities as needed. f. Bed #1: perimeter walls and floor. g. Bed #2: perimeter walls and floor. h. Bed #3: perimeter walls and floor. i. Master Bed room: perimeter walls and floor.

6. Finished Basement: Remove ceiling tiles, interior walls bottom plate (remove the entire interior walls if it is not cost effective to replace just at the bottom plate) floor tile (may be asbestos), clean cinderblock walls as needed. a. Unfinished Basement: Remove the fungal growth from the exposed ceiling structure, Remove the fungal growth apply biocide/sanitizer to the wood and encapsulate with appropriate product such as Anabec or Fosters 4020. b. Air duct cleaning and encapsulation of suspect asbestos joint tape. c. Adjoining building (Far left side of building): Replace water damaged exterior wall board. d. Attic: clean in preparation for resurfacing water affected areas. 7. Clean all surfaces through-out the house – clean to category 1 (refer to IICRC S520 8. Pass clearance testing – less than or similar to background fungal spore levels. 9. Resurface water damaged building framing/surfaces as needed with antifungal coating (recommend Anabec system of Fosters 4020). 10. Replace finishes.

Assessment Report Inspection date: 01-31-07 Inspector: Steve McLeod CEO CMC Purpose: The owner, Mr. Paul Helms requested that IES, Inc. performed a follow-up assessment at the above stated address. Mr. Helms wanted me to assess the current condition of the building and the personal items within. To make a recommendations as to the salvage- ability of the personal items and present general procedures for water damage and fungal restoration. The assessment consists of a visual inspection in readily assessable areas for fungal growth, moisture meter testing and picture taking. Owner’s assessment: The owner states that in February 2003 the building sustained storm damage from falling trees to the roof, walls, and foundation. The failing roof and cracked foundation allowed water intrusion during the preceding storms which further degraded the perimeter walls, window frames, flooring finishes and personal items within the structure. Mr. Helms had concerns about the condition of the personal items within the residence and whether his items could be effectively cleaned. Mr. Helms stated that within the last month the city had condemned his house and he has been in the process of removing personal items from a residence. Background: The inspected building was built in 1961. It is a one story building with full basement. Half the basement is/was a condition space. The approximate heated and cooled space is 2000 square feet; it is used as a family residence. Occupants were NOT living in the building at the time of the inspection. Areas of concern:
