DEERING CONSTRUCTION, INC.
D/B/A DK CONSTRUCTION, Appellee            §   Memorandum Opinion by Justice Gabriel

                                    JUDGMENT

      This court has considered the record on appeal in this case and holds that there

was error in part of the trial court’s judgment. We reverse the portion of the trial

court’s judgment as to attorney’s fees and remand the issue for a new trial. We affirm

the awarded damages conditioned on our suggestion of a $2,734.74 remittitur. If

appellee Deering Construction, Inc. timely files the suggested remittitur with the trial

court no later than fifteen days after this judgment, we will reform the amount of

damages and affirm those damages as reformed. Otherwise, we will reverse and

remand for a new trial on the issues of liability and damages.          We affirm the

remainder of the judgment.
      It is further ordered that all parties shall bear their own costs of this appeal, for

which let execution issue.
