In March 1981, A.A. Quality agreed to sell two lots and construct a home in Glendive, Montana, for the Samuelsons. The total contract price was $155,804. Prior to entering the contract, George Samuelson asked Albert Aldinger, president of A.A. Quality, whether the foundation of the home should be equipped with any special drainage devices to help ensure proper drainage of water away from the foundation. According to George Samuelson’s testimony, Mr. Aldinger advised them that precautionary drain devices were not necessary. In contrast, A.A. Quality asserts that Mr. Aldinger merely explained that he had built 7 or 8 other homes in the same general area and those homes had not required any special drainage devices. Mr. Aldinger also testified that the decision not to include such devices was left to the Samuelsons. A.A. Quality did not install drainage devices in the home.
