More lawsuit
Now the original owner built this house as her dream house, then ended up forced to sell 3 years later after the sudden death of her husband at a very young age. She was a young widow with three kids and I'm fairly sure she had no idea what was brewing in the walls (we lived here for 3 years before the smell started - there's no way she could have known).
I was adamant from the beginning that I did not want to drag her into a lawsuit because I didn't think she had any knowledge of the problems. I kept thinking that as a young mom with kids myself, if I had just lost my husband and had to sell my dream home, I'd be barely hanging on the way it was -- being sued for something I didn't know anything about would probably push me over the edge.
I still think I did the right thing by not suing her, but doing the right thing morally is obviously not the same as doing the right thing legally.
