Opinion
JEFFERSON (Bernard), J.
This case involves a suit for breach of a contract to build a residence. Plaintiff Tolstoy Construction Company sought $7,301.16 in damages and requested attorney fees from the residence’s owner, Mamie R. Minter. Defendant Minter answered the complaint, denying liability on the ground that plaintiff had failed to perform the contract in a substantial and workmanlike manner. Defendant also cross-complained for damages of $25,000 for plaintiff’s breach of the same contract and $5,000 for plaintiff’s breach of a second contract between the parties.
