I was still up (unusual), they live one block from my house, I designed it and built it, I wanted to see exactly what was actually happening, (liability) and they are nice folks who were in anguish thinking that their wall might collapse which is right under their master bedroom (it was not).

I guess mainly it seemed like the right thing to do.

So I turned a potentially big problem into a much more managable problem and they feel we are going to solve it together.

Much better than if they got really frustrated and decided to call their lawyer.

There is nothing blatanty deficient in the design or construction, but the property on that side of the house rises about ten feet in about ten feet so its always going to be something that is potential trouble if something fails.

Not to mention that we have had rain nearly every day for the last month and a half.
