     PER CURIAM.
      Affirmed. Almand Constr. Co. v. Evans, 547 So. 2d 626, 628 (Fla.

1989) (explaining that, as to the statute of limitations, the homeowners’

“knowledge of the settling of the house and resultant structural damage,

which they concede they had as early as 1978, was sufficient to put them on

notice that they had, or might have had, a cause of action”); Alexander v.

Suncoast Builders, Inc., 837 So. 2d 1056, 1058 (Fla. 3d DCA 2002) (holding

that the limitations period for latent defects begins to run “from the time the

defect is discovered or should have been discovered with the exercise of

due diligence” (quoting § 95.11(3)(c), Fla. Stat.)).
