¶ 9. In attempting to apply the foregoing warranty principles to the facts here, however, we are confronted by a dearth of specific findings in either the master's report or the trial court's decision. The master found, and the record shows, that plaintiffs submitted several inspection reports within the one-year reporting period setting forth an extensive list of alleged defects. Plaintiffs also submitted an additional report in October 2002, about three years after the closing, prepared by a consulting engineer and containing specific cost estimates for previously reported defects as well as additional problems. The master indicated that plaintiffs raised still more deficiencies, such as the "mis-alignment of the dining room doors," for the first time at the hearing in August 2004.
