You should want those people in your life (whether you like it or not) that will poke all of the holes they can in your deal.  

It takes a guy about 1 day to dig the hole.

The only issue that came up during inspection was two broken rafters, a couple disengaged shingles, a few holes in the vinyl siding, and cracks in the sidewalks.

Counter their offer by removing all your monetary conditions and hold on to your option to walk based on the in-depth inspection.

Being the ignorant person that I am, I would merely jack the house up maybe a quarter of an inch at each pier location and then dig a hole maybe a foot deep and about 14" square then lower the pier back down and repeat.

I have lots of time to listen to the podcast and I have listen to all of them,most of them twice, now going to use the site to fill in the holes.

I look at monetary policy and how it affects interest rates.

This saves me money to keep them and I can reuse all the existing holes making mounting everything back super fast. 

It fills in the holes left by many of the other books I've read!!

Best you can do is encourage people to leave positive reviews to overshadow the a-hole customers and hope that people really analyze the review, nit just believe it all..
