RECORD OBSERVATION

Interviewer instructions

This is not a question but an observation. You will usually be able to see for yourself what kind of the material the exterior walls are made of. However, ask the respondent if you are not sure or cannot make an observation e.g. if the wall is covered with wallpaper. Again, if there is more than one kind of wall material, record the main type of material (the material that covers the largest amount of wall space).
