(D <br />osition of Ron K. Thompson) 1"s <br /> ~ <br />• <br /> 1 foundation. <br /> <br /> 2 MR. TATUM: He preserved his <br /> 3 objection. <br /> 4 MR. BAILEY: You can respond to <br /> 5 the question. <br /> 6 A. On a cursory inspection like that I do <br /> 7 not feel I could determine what the cause of the <br /> 8 cracking was. For instance, if it were a mine <br /> 9 building, I would hire a structural engineer or <br /> 10 something like that could come in and do an <br /> 11 evaluation. That is outside my field. <br /> 12 Q. Are you telling us then that a <br /> <br /> 13 structural engineer could, perhaps, come into the <br /> 14 structure and by looking at the foundation and the <br /> 15 basement, and so on, and knowing the history of the <br /> 16 valley and of what has taken place that he might be <br /> 17 able to pinpoint a cause for it? <br /> 18 A. He might be able to determine the <br /> 19 cause, yes. <br /> 20 Q. Have you observed subsidence on the <br /> 21 north side of the highway attendant to the long <br /> 22 wall? <br /> 23 A. Yes, we have. <br />{~ 24 Q. What is the closest point that you <br /> 25 observed that subsidence to my home? <br /> EARL E.
