It may be an ok price if he is cracking in to make a second pit and pump and hard piping it out separately or with the current outflow...I am not sure if you are planning to drop in the battery powered pump when power goes out (which seems odd if you were away, defeats purpose) or if he has a second pump put in  and it is on standby (maybe by elevation or overflow, I am not a plumber..

First thing I want is the return of my money, then we can talk about the return on my money.Getting private money will never come from an elevator pitch (unless you're on TV).

Lawyers are now suing over elevated blood tests that were 20 years old.

You are a very slanderous person and I will not speak about you in these public forums.Fine, but for the record, slander refers to verbal speech, libel involves printed material.

People are all for freedom of speech, freedom of religion and equality when it's their speech, their religion and equality for people of their color and beliefs.

Say 220 was roofing ststems for expenses, 221 could be felt, 222, shingles, 223, hardware (nails, screws, trim, drip trim, vents, sofit) 224, decking/lumber, 225, roll roofing (including rubber systems) 226, glue/adhesives...you get the idea.If you are knocking out say 4 basic floor plans, different elevation but all the same materials/grades, you are buying bulk and allocating costs based on the plans per plan.

I teach with it, use projectors with it, give speeches with it, write my books with it. 

In terms of water intrusion... this is related to the water table and grade of your yard (and soil type) more than the crawl space elevation. 

You should also practice your elevator pitch on your business.  

But did not recommend doing that to perfectly healthy trees.I decided to have them do some elevation trimming for $100 (basically what they can cut back while standing on the ground with a pole) and she can cut back more if she wants.Thanks for all of the input.
