it amazes me how ignorant most in the thread are to the cost of construction. The soil samples cost a lot of money due to the fact that he dumped enough in to actually damage the water table and they had to sample everything. not saying that I believe that it should have cost over $500k but a few hundred thousand is very realistic.

as far as the replacement goes, if they get all of the trees out and redo the corner, $400k is going to be cheap. hell, just to cut the two down and grind the stumps would have probably cost in the neighborhood of 10 to 20k by itself, not mentioning actually removing roots and backfilling.

I work for an environmental company and we do smples and ground monitoring all the time and itd be really hard as hell to rack up a couple hundred grand in testing charges. But being that it was probably subbed out a few times after being third partied I guess it could be possible.
