Interviewer instructions

Ask to record the code for the respective time duration since the main house was
newly built, renovated or had major repairs (including improved/upgraded) as counted from the
latest repair. In case of expansion, or enlarging area, which do not change the structure of the
house very much, do not take it as the reference period
