I quite agree. I know he was spitballing the $20K figure. I'm willing to get into a little creepage, but I've also been reading Chapter 150 of the KY Revised Code this AM, along with all the other attendant stuff. Yikes! I don't know how we'll get a qualified engineer to perform all those tests AND get a dam built for $20K.
Good thoughts. That may very well be an area of significant risk. If your neighbor thinks he can “cowboy” the design and construction and it goes sideways, how are you protected? If the thing leaks like crazy and has recurring maintenance issues, what happens? It’s good you’re trying to think thru all this.
