Hi Bob,

A few years ago, I took an "Introduction to Homebuilding" = course=20 taught by Charlie Becker from EAA. He claimed that there had = never=20 been a successful lawsuit against a homebuilder, which is reassuring, = but I=20 understand that's not a guarantee that you or I won't be the first=20 one.

He wasn't very enthusiastic about contractual attempts to limit=20 the homebuilder's liability (liability waivers), but I think EAA = has a=20 sample waiver on their website. I'd suggest giving Charlie a=20 call at EAA and discussing it with him.
