HUDDLESTON, Judge,
concurring in part and dissenting in part.
I respectfully dissent from that portion of the Court’s opinion that reverses the award to the Appellees of the fair market value of the storage building. There was proof that the storage building was constructed in 1993 at a cost of $8,523.90. The trial court subtracted $4,000.00 from that amount, the sum that the Appellees acknowledge they would have paid to relocate the building had they been permitted to remove it. The trial court then awarded damages of $4,523.90 for wrongful conversion. I believe that this evidence was sufficient to fix the value of the building when it was converted by the Appellant some two years later. I would, therefore, affirm the trial court on this issue.
I concur in the balance of the Court’s opinion.
