Plaintiff appeals, contending the jury’s answer to Issue 4 finding: “2 days or 7 weeks” temporary loss of use, is so ambiguous and uncertain that a judgment cannot be predicated thereon. Plaintiff has brought forward no Statement of Facts.
In the absence of a Statement of Facts, it must be presumed on appeal that the evidence supports the findings and judgment of the trial court. Lane v.
