Interesting read on the usage of PEX in California (probably applies to any other state) dealing with the chlorine and other chemical content in the water.

Can anyone tell me if this grey piping is PVC material, and if so, is it approved for use in plumbing DWV? I don't believe it is.

2. Operating cost based on hot water needs for typical family of four and energy costs of 9.5¢/kWh for electricity, $1.40/therm for gas, $2.40/gallon for oil.
3. Future operating costs are neither discounted nor adjusted for inflation.
4. Currently, there is too little data to accurately estimate life expectancy for tankless water heaters, but preliminary data shows that tankless water heaters could last up to 20 years. For all water heaters, life expectancy will depend on local variables such as water chemistry and homeowner maintenance.

Garden unit in a building 100 years old (est) no records.
Rehab performed in 2006

My only view of the foundation was in the spa tub panel and what I found was a asphalt based substance sprayed or painted directly on to the foundation.
Foundation was either brick or stone but hard to tell through the gunk.
(note ) you can see that some of it has fallen off at end of my arrow.
Insulation batting was sticking to the substance.
Looking at the exterior pictures,how would you comment in the report.?
(note) you can see buyer is looking at Unit that was originally the furnace room by Observed bricked over coal door.

No signs of Water Intrusion at the interior as of yet.

Not much gap between the furnace flue & liner. Technically, is this ok for zero clearance from the liner to other materials? Liner is hot to the touch.
