The item is no longer there but the holes are. In one room the children coat hooks appeared not to be anchored and studded so the hoook has torn out of the wall leaving large holes and chipping paint around the holes. Water in some rooms: Infant 130.6 (diaper area) ,Toddler 1-131.7, Toddler 2 -130.6 restroom and 130.8.
