So viewed, the evidence establishes that the house was built by plaintiff on a lot he owned in a subdivision he was developing. Por the house’s frame, plaintiff used the frame from a “double wide mobile home” that had burned. Plaintiff situated the house on a hillside, supporting the frame by piers of stacked concrete blocks resting on cement footings. Atop the piers, between the concrete blocks and the frame, plaintiff placed “pieces of wood that had been cut out of trees”; consequently, the frame lay on the wood, not on the concrete blocks. When defendant looked at the house before signing the contract, there was no “skirt” between the bottom of the house and the surface of the ground, thus defendant was able to see the concrete block piers. She did not, however, see the wood blocks atop the piers.
