Question 2: Dominant materials</span><br />Walls - Check one box and one alone.<br />If you have checked box 2, make an effort to specify the material or materials used.<br />In more of the materials explicitly numbered in section 2, you will classify the nondurable materials used for temporary structures in this section. For the buildings made of wood, wooden panels and cob, always check box 2 even if this is a durable structure (it is question 1 which will inform others on the subject of the temporary nature or durability of the structure.)<br />In a situation where two of the same kinds of materials (section 1 and 2) are used (in the case of farms or agricultural buildings, for example), check the only section corresponding to the kind of material principally employed in the building or the part of the building which is lived in.<br />Roof - The explanations given above for the walls are to be applied as well for the roof.<br /></svar>
