What do you mean"no info"?

There's been 11 responses and just about all of them say pull the
drywall.

I think he's still waiting for a reply on how to be lazy and do a half assed
job. The replies so far were all how to do it the right way.

No, I've seen *NO* responses until today, just yours and the one other.

Lazy? Hardly. Just looking for a way to save a ton of time when it's not
necessary. It's best to explore unconventional options.

Cutting it above the baseboard, as you inquired, is the lazy way. In the
long run, it will make more work. To summarize the previous posts, you must
remove the drywall to assess and properly repair the damage.

Thanks for the summary.

I don't know why I couldn't (and still can't) see those other replies. I
tried "catching up" with the newsgroup AND "synchronizing" the group. I now
have headers going back 6 months but no other responses to this thread.
Strange.

I also made 2 replies tonight - yet I only see one. Makes me wonder if
there's a problem with my NG server.

Anyway, I understand about looking into the walls in this case. It's just
one of those cases where the work involved in screwing up the baseboards and
all DW in this room could take time that it may not be easy to find, given
many other projects, plus it's unsure just how bad the situation is.
