I could imagine. Some people here have had their damage assessment changed from "total rebuild" to "repair job" over a year after the original assessment and all the intervening seismic activity. In our house we've had doors start to jam after one shake only to fix themselves on the next, but this is taking it a bit far. <http://www.stuff.co.nz/business/rebuilding-christchurch/6727397/Homes-evaluated-as-writeoffs-become-repair-jobs> It gets even messier for these guys as the houses are sitting on red-zoned land which means a rebuild may not even be allowed. I think this will head to court and the lawyers will do quite well out of it. Fair-weather friends, nothing more nothing less.
