Mobile home park pad rentals can be expensive, and moving them also cost a lot.

We do not have any of the same boards left and the manufacturer has discontinued the line so we can't just pull out the affected boards (besides, there would be no way we would have that many extra pieces; the total number of boards damaged is in excess of 150).The second reason why there is a difference in charges is because if we need to go through with Small Claims, we put ALL costs in there vs our original lower estimate (**after talking to a legal advisor, they said we should go with the full cost as long as we had estimates, invoices, etc to show how we came up with the dollar amount).

They're going to cost a pretty good chunk of change, but it'll probably be less than the rent you lose in the long run.  

Contamination are a separate beast (could contaminate the water & cost a fortune). 

Remember, it will still cost a lot of your time/money/aggravation to defend a lawsuit that you may eventually win.
