The storage area in the carport does not run alongside,it is accessed by a stoop. The deck noted
in the yard items is actually a dock on the lake and the porch must have been a gazebo which
has since been removed. These items need to be corrected and the additional physical
depreciation changed from 15 to 20 percent.
