Access from Mebane streets, rural driveways, tight crawlspaces, roof areas, and occupied rooms affects setup, inspection effort, and time on site.

Exclusion may require parts or materials suited to the opening, surface, and location, including work around slabs, vents, doors, siding, or utility lines.
