13. C) At this location. is were the leaking actually occurs.
cont. and is not caused by use of this product, but rather by
poor design structure. Again this would not have occured
if the Plaintiff would have allowed the Defendant to do
his job in the beginning.
14) DISAGREE - Refer to 13.C reply
15) DISAGREE - Again the Plaintiff ended the contract/warranty
when the Plaintiff refused to allow the Defend-
ant to perform his job. The Plaintiff. in fact.
refused to allow the Defendant to perform work
that may not have been covered by their insur-
ance company. They have been warned and advised
by the Defendant all throughout this job.
The Defenant asks this honorable court for the
Plaintiff to be responsible for their own decis-
ions and to take responsibility for their own
actions.
16) DISAGREE - The Defendant throughout the job had advised
the Plaintiff of the consequences of not allow-
ing the Defendant to make necessary repairs
that may not be covered by their insurance com-
pany.
The Defendant asks the court to hold the Plaint-.
iff accountable for their own actions.
17) DISAGREE
18) DISAGREE
It is the Defendants deepest hope and prayers
that both the Plaintiff and the Defendant bring
out in court all the important questions and ans-
wers. along with all the necessary Information
for all to see and witness.
Because of the Plaintiff and her son tried to get
the Defendant to co..lt insurance fraud through-
out this jab. by writing up work not covered by
insurance as "Ice' water damage". The Defendant
would like nothing more than a court order stating
that the Plaintiff can not contact the Defendant
in any.ay. no more &fter this trial. We hope and
pray that this court receives all the neces.ary
Information and enters the judge..nt In favor of
the Defendant.
