Defendant testified that after it became evident that the foundation was insufficient, she asked plaintiff to “cosign” a loan so that she could obtain materials and try to “get the foundation up to par.” Nothing in defendant’s testimony supports plaintiff’s contention that defendant, at the time she signed the agreement, was told that the footings and foundation were incomplete. The trial court could have reasonably found, and inferentially did, that when defendant signed the agreement she assumed the foundation was complete and was adequate to support the house, and that her later effort to obtain the loan— when it became apparent that the foundation was giving way — was an attempt to *486 correct the defect before it became catastrophic.
