Williams, J.
(dissenting) — I do not believe that the Supreme Court in DeRuwe v. DeRuwe, 72 Wn.2d 404, 433 P.2d 209 (1967), intended to authorize the drastic renovation of a trial court’s decree as undertaken by the majority in this case. It is enough that the error of the trial court in the characterization of the property be corrected. Blood v. Blood, 69 Wn.2d 680, 419 P.2d 1006 (1966). The cause should be remanded to the trial court to divide the property on the basis of the recharacterization.
