11. Code Requirements
This window meets all code requirements because it is less then 44 from the floor to bottom of the sill
12. Concrete Joints
Below is a control joint, which is an intentional linear discontinuity in concrete to create a point of weakness so that cracking does not occur from stress. Below, a crack still occurred insinuating that the control joint did not fully serve its purpose.
Below is an isolation joint which is used to isolate the load of this column to one specific place instead of distributing it throughout the slab.
13. Concrete Masonry Units
Below a concrete masonry unit (CMU) wall is pictured next to modular brick, representing that 3 courses of modular brick equal one CMU.
The picture below illustrates that CMU blocks can come in a variety of sizes, depending on what they are being used for.
14. Decorative Concrete Masonry Units
The CMU below is referred to as split faced block, because of the texture that is created, making it look as if the block was split in half.
This CMU pictured below is referred to as a ribbed face CMU because of the many ribs that are created to add more decorative style.
15. Doors

24. Mortar
Both of these mortar joints are 3/8 and were used on a residential home.
Below is a picture of a flush mortar joint(which is tough to see). This joint was most likely troweled and is probably type N mortar.
This picture illustrates a concave mortar joint, which was tooled and is probably type N mortar.

This rebar that is pictured is #4, which is in diameter and the uses of the deformations on this rebarare to insure the bonding of the concrete that it will be set in.
30. Steep Roof Drainage
1.
2.
These photos illustrate a gutter(1), downspout(2), and splash block(3).
A gutter collects rainwater and snow from the eave of a roof, transfers it to the downspout, which is then transferred to the splashblock which lies underneath th exit of the downspout and deterrs water away from house.
