Actually, I already did. I am dwelling it over, before I return and ask... what the hell are you asking? It's been a long day, and maybe I'm tired, but I'm not understanding what you are asking. Please post with your specific concerns and more details... ie... explain "river".

Seriously!

I can appreciate that, and you will find that the more specific information you provide, the better we can help you. So, were you doing a drive along, this was a friends home that had an inspection and you were practicing, other...? Did you see other damage? Do you have access (family members home) to go back and get more info, etc... ?

We'll help were we can, so like the saying goes..... "Help us to help you" !

This picture looks like plaster, maybe not, which "cracks" easier than sheetrock. But you new that.
