## Opinion text

LINDE, J.,
concurring.
As I understand it, this case does not involve the issue of an implied warranty of fitness for use in the builder’s sale or long-term lease of a building when the building itself proves unfit by virtue of a defect in the site on which it is built. Such a case would lie somewhere between Yepsen v. Burgess, 269 Or 635 , 525 P2d 1019 (1974), and Cook v. Salishan Properties, 279 Or 333 , 569 P2d 1033 (1977). Its decision can be reserved until the issue is squarely presented.
On that understanding, I concur in the present decision.
Lent, J., joins in this opinion.
