I don’t go by that one. I’m in Florida and the state has the SOP.
I’m getting ready to put you on " Ignore" because all you do is just babble along.

Don’t encourage this one Robert, the Simon door is slowly closing.

It was actually a main shut off for the home itself. I just reported it’s absence and went on with my day.

Evening, Paul.
The best thing to do composing narratives is to build the narrative based upon the component.
Plumbing. 'Main domestic potable water supply shut off valve. Observation: Missing or can not be observed.

By leaving out one example of the full component, the partial explanation distracts the intent eluding the meaning of what was observed.

Hope that helps!
Regards.
Robert

Members please, lift each other up instead of tearing each other down.
Many new member’s need a nudge to help them move forward.
Move on if you do not have anything constructive to say.
We all started somewhere.

Thank you.

You will find that sweet spot.
KISS. Keep It Simple Student. Explain what you are looking at. It’s that simple.

I am mentoring and coaching again. My latest student Mark was trying to write long explanations. The fact of the matter is, the less you say the more it means.
Condense the subject.
Subject: Plumbing. Domestic potable water supply. Component: Main domestic potable water supply shutoff valve.
Subject: Roofing. Component: 3 Tab glass fiber or felt matt shingles.
Subject: Electrical. Component: Panel board. Distribution panel.
Write what you see.
