They sought to prove a guarantee clause in home contracts failed to be enforced, but by nightfall had found no clear path to identify which items were under guarantee or past the four year period. Mayor Moir doubts enforcement is possible, noting hoses rot without washing and drying, and contractors may cite lack of a drying tower as the reason.
