How is it built? <br />35 <br />Understanding how a <br />building is constructed can <br />seem intimidating at first, <br />but you don’t need to be an <br />engineer to get the basics <br />right. What matters most is <br />having a general idea of how <br />the building supports its <br />own weight—how the loads <br />move from the roof, through <br />the walls, and down to the <br />ground. With that basic <br />knowledge, you’ll be better <br />equipped to recognize <br />whether there’s a risk of <br />serious structural failure <br />or if the issues are more <br />superficial—like needing to <br />replace a few rotted wooden <br />beams, redo the ceiling, <br />or simply add a fresh coat <br />of paint. Remember, your <br />goal isn’t to make a final <br />diagnosis—it’s to spot red <br />flags and figure out whether <br />professional help is needed <br />or if it’s just a matter of <br />cosmetic fixes.
