Of course Perry Homes doesn't want to warranty this doesn't fall within the warranty period. If it was a case of it drying out and cracking, I would understand. Since the problem is completely obvious, I would have hoped they would give more consideration to helping me resolve the problem.

Are there any groups out there that you all know of that could help me push this? I would rather start there instead of with an attorney, but I am definitely going to push this because it's not right. We've actually fixed a few plumbing issues in this house ourself, but this one was major enough that we want them to take care of it.

Any advice is appreciated.

7 years ?
seriously ?

get it fixed and move on. You should have already caught it.

Save yourself years of grief and fix it yourself. Pulling out a toilet and putting in a new wax ring is no big deal. The problem will be when you need to set it down on those 2 screws you won't be able to see. It will take a hour. That includes going to buy the wax ring.

It will take longer than that to write your letter. Getting into a pizzing contest with Perry Homes will take 2 or 3 years of your life.

Honestly I hope it is appealed and they get a much lesser amount. This is what is wrong with out justice system. Getting what's fair and proper should not be like winning the lottery. The award is abusively excessive. They should get the fair market value of the home plus maybe an extra 100k at the most. Greed.

The same as everyone else's. The same that any lawyer will tell you. The same that the small claims judge will tell you.

It's been seven years, it's your problem. Fix it.

I do understand your frustration, as this was wrong from day one. Nonetheless, builders need some sense of closure so people don't come back to them for decades with small issues. And this is too old.
