As confirmed by Ms. Ann Tatum in her letter of May <br />12, 1995, the inspection occurred as scheduled. See AR II-20. <br />16. In a memorandum dated May 22, 1995, DMG employee Jim <br />Pendleton provided his observations concerning the May 11, 1995, <br />inspection of the Tatum home. (In the memorandum, Mr. Pendleton <br />inadvertently refers to the inspection as having occurred on May <br />5, 1995). Although he provides no new conclusions concerning the <br />effect, or lack of effect, of subsidence on the house, Mr. <br />Pendleton does provide comments on the negative effect heavy rain <br />was having on the adobe house's structure. In addition, on page <br />2 of his memorandum, Mr. Pendleton discusses a deteriorating <br />portion of the porch area of the home. Concerning this area, Mr. <br />Pendleton states that <br />[t]he adobe wall appears to be deteriorating solely <br />because of the affects of water which has invaded the <br />adobe wall structure and percolated down two stories to <br />the bottom of the inner porch wall. <br />See AR II-16. <br />9 <br />
