ID. • PACE 3 <br />Mr. and Mrs, Tatum <br />March 16, 1986 <br />Pape 2 <br />story portion of the residence appear to bra relatively old and ere hairline to less then 116" in <br />thickness. By contrast, the cracks In the two-story portion of the residence are wider and <br />mote pronounced, especially towards the very front of the residence. There is a significant <br />vertical crack that extends from the bottom to the top of the two-story portion, about one foot <br />weal of the east end of the wall. Water damage has occurred in the upper east half of the <br />two-story portion, where water that has apparently leaked from a roof scupper Figs caused <br />places of the pleeter to tell off, along with fairly substantial localized cracking. <br />The front, east fete of the residence has minor cracks, except at the northeast corner where <br />there is a buttress believed to be part of a fireplace chimney. At the top of this buttress, there <br />is a major crack through the stucco. The buttress appears to have partially broken away from <br />the residence, with a displacement of about 1 inch. Tha circular buttress has a series of <br />horizontal cracks throughout ite he(pht. <br />In the front porch, which extends Inward to the first level of the structure, there are significant <br />vortical cracks et the northeast end southwest corners with separations of about 1 /4", It <br />appears that tits front fete of the residence has moved outward relative to the rest of the <br />structuro. <br />Along the north side, there era thin, hairline crocks extending from the corners of each of the <br />windows and doors. There is a vertical crack zone at the trensltlon between the one and two- <br />story portions, with a sariea of parallel to subparellel cracks in a zone up to 1 foot wide. The <br />crecke appesr to become more pronounced and wider towards the top. There has been <br />considerable damage to the stucco at the roof parapet. <br />The west, rear well Of the home has relatively fewer cracks than the other three walls. Minor <br />crooks also axial In the garage wells. <br />InterlorObaaevedons <br />We observed the Interior beginning with the kltchert. Cracks were observed throughout the <br />residence, particularly et the corners of rooms and et the windows. Separations were also <br />observed et the baseboards in soma of the rooms where the outer walls had moved outward <br />up to 1/4", The Interior cracking is most pronounced in the front, two-story portion of the <br />residence, where there are significant cracks to 1/4' or more wide. The front, east wall, <br />appears to have moved outward relative to the rest of the residence. In the southeast corner <br />room of the eacond floor, there is considerable damage to the plaster because of water <br />leakage from the root drain scupper. <br />Thera is an approximate eight toot wide opening between the family room and the living room. <br />There ero relatively fresh cracks at either end of the beam across the top of the opening with <br />widths of 1 /4' or more. On the north side of the entry way, there is a crack that extends from <br />mid-height on the wall to the tailing, widening to about 1 /4' at the top. <br />f:lproy,ct.~2eo i ea i.n, <br />
