Description

The only issue before this court is whether the trial court was correct in its application of the statute of limitations. Plaintiff's petition sought recovery from defendants on theories of negligence and strict liability. She claimed damage to a pond on her property, damage to the foundation and cistern of her new house, and the destruction of fences along part of her land.

Atlantic Richfield Co., 233 Kan. 252, Syl. ¶ 4, 662 P.2d 1203 [1983]), the facts of this case are as follows.
