The court has listened to the recording of the small claims hearing and reviewed the
entire record of this case. No party objected to any documentary evidence that was admitted.
Along with the parties, Mr. Richardson’s contractor testified as did Ms. Alden’s mother-in-law.
At the end of the hearing, the small claims court took the case under advisement and later issued
a written decision. The findings are exceptionally sparse and, for the most part, do not address
specific damages items individually. On appeal, Ms. Alden raises numerous objections to the
small claims court’s findings. Except as noted below, the court concludes that the record
supports the judgment.
