Most people rightfully focus on the demand side, but pay much less attention to the supply side.I could go on & on & on about this, but look at the most expensive cities in the world, and they all have supply constraints, real or imagined. 

It seemed to me that he was doing a meticulous job at the time, so I'm hopeful well pass with minimal disruption.Since I got this letter today (Saturday), I haven't been able to speak with either the county or the contractor, but I'd like to understand my rights and obligations a little better before I do.Who is liable for the added expense of these reports which (I assume) would not have been needed if an inspector had been able to look at the gravel base before the asphalt was poured?
