[Bathroom Mess] For $300,000, Michael agreed to build a new home for Ashton, who is very picky. Michael built the home to Ashton's specifications with one exception: the faucets and flooring in the upstairs bathroom were not exactly what Ashton specified. That was a mistake on Michael's part, but he did not intentionally fail to follow the specifications. When Ashton saw the bathroom, she went ballistic and told Michael that she would not pay Michael anything for the house. It will take $300 to put in the correct faucets and flooring. Michael responded that he is willing to pay $300 to put Ashton in the position she would have been in had the correct faucets and flooring been used, but that is all he is willing to pay.

C) Michael substantially breached the contract.
D) Michael breached the contract.
