Wood contact
I would be interested in my fellow inspector's report verbiage for wood in direct contact with a fireplace chimney structure (as seen in the attic.). Besides calling for a level II, how would you report this?

For any inspectors (Bob and any other FIRE certified guys) who conduct Level II’s how would you report this, especially if you discovered the terra cotta liner shown in the second photo?

The reason I ask is a number of NJ chimney sweeps do not consider either condition a problem.
