Quote from @Don Miller: The following is not to express any level of happiness or unhappiness with the build:Received change orders totaling $14,970 for 18 additional loads of fill dirt over allotted amount in contract (fill dirt arrived in December 2022), 7 loads of septic sand over allotted amount, and rock excavation at the septic site.I deal with all of those issues on new builds.
