negligent-activity and negligent-undertaking theories, we reverse the trial court’s
granting of summary judgment as to all appellees. In all other respects, we
AFFIRM the summary judgment.

      We further order that each party shall pay its costs by reason of this appeal.
      We further order this decision certified below for observance.
