LaHue’s requirement of uncontradicted evidence gave *833way to a more generous exception in Douglas Northwest, Inc. v. Bill O'Brien & Sons Construction, Inc., where a negative finding was presumed unless “ample evidence to support the missing finding, and the findings entered by the court, viewed as a whole, demonstrate that the absence of the specific finding was not intentional.” Douglas N.W., Inc. v. Bill O’Brien & Sons Constr., Inc., 64 Wn. App. 661, 682, 828 P.2d 565 (1992). But we refuse to apply this presumption where the end result would be directly contrary to the evidence presented at trial. See Tacoma Commercial Bank v. Elmore, 18 Wn. App. 775, 778-79, 573 P.2d 798 (1977).
