final walk-through: before the closeing or you take possession, the last review of the property, structure, fixtures, and appliances should be operated or demonstrated again as to their ability to perform.

fluorescent lighting: tubular glass lights, the interior of which has a fluorescent coating 

footing: a foot-like projection, usually buried at the base of a foundation wall, column, pier, etc. used to secure, support, and help eliminate settling or shifting 

formaldehyde: colorless pungent gas used in solution as a preservative which should be considered toxic

foundation: the part of a building which supports the superstructure, often below the ground level but atop the footing (foundations are noted to be made of various styles or types) 

foyer: the open area or hallway upon entering a building, such as in a theater or hotel; also found in many homes 

functional:  to be effective; perform, work in a required manner (an object may be functional even though cosmetically damaged)
