Is this true? In my mind, the house is framed construction, not brick construction. It just only happens to have a brick covering.

Structurally it is held up and together by frame. The brick should just be veneer. If it is structural brick then they wouldn't build frame behind it. Try to get a peek at the wall construction, foundation. It should be pretty obvious.	RFAArchitect New member Joined: 08 Apr 2007 Posts: 4 3.75 Dollars($)

In the other 49, it is framed construction. _________________ Register Now to have your Insurance queries solved.	Dasfuk Guest
