Use of "However" in Engineering Reports 8

[RFreund]

Do you use "However" in engineering reports? For example...

The water stains indicate that moisture has infiltrated the floor cavity. However, the recent roof repairs may have resolved this issue.

I typically take out the "however". However , it might help make the point that you are a weighing one fact against another.

Thanks

I use it all the time. However, i believe that many engineering reports aren’t worth the paper they’re written on!

And as Tyrion said, everything before the 'however' is unimportant.


Well, he didn't but he should have.
