After examining the front door and the structura'1 <br />integrity of the wall surrounding the front door, we feel that <br />blasting at the mine did not cause the damage you claim. As <br />noted at the time of the inspection, the exterior wall <br />supporting the door and frame was unsupported for several feet <br />in either direction of the door. Also noted, there were no <br />supports under the enclosed porch floor leading to the front <br />door. In fact, the porch footers were nailed to the load <br />bearing wall the door frame was placed in. Another <br />observation was the washing machine and dryer being located on <br />this basically unsupported porch, approximately 7 feet from <br />the door. Unbalanced washing machines in a spin cycle car! <br />produce tremendous vibrations and for long durations. 't'hese <br />vibrations are much more intense and for longer durations than <br />any of the mine blasts. WFC personnel have been placing <br />seismograph recorders at some of your neighbors homes and have <br />found no significant vibrations. After your telephone call, <br />we have placed seismograph recorders at your home and have <br />also found low readings. In fact, there have been several <br />instances where the vibrations have been so weak that the <br />recorder failed to start. <br />
