HARSHBARGER, Justice,
dissenting:
My only disagreement is with the conclusion by the majority that the exception to the exclusion did not create insurance against the very risk to which the Robin-sons were exposed. The policy included a provision excluding "... liability assumed by the Insured under any contract or agreement except an incidental contract; but, this exclusion does not apply to a warranty of fitness or quality of the Named Insured’s products or a warranty that work performed by or on behalf of the Named Insured will be done in a workmanlike manner....” (Emphasis added.)
The facts were that the Robinsons were charged with unworkmanlike construction of a house they sold to the Helfeldts, exactly what was meant to be covered by the exception from the exclusion.
I am authorized to state that McGRAW, J., joins me in this dissenting opinion.
