He can have all of the rock he needs delivered (18 truckloads) and rent a bobcat for a month to do it himself (with his fathers help) for ~$8k; but it will take him a month to do it. He needs this fixed ASAP because the erosion has eliminated 2 of his big decks footings and undermined 2 others (he's already paid someone to put in replacement footings for the 2 that were totally wiped out - costing him $1k.

Just giving you an idea of costs/time for some options.
Dang, maybe I'll just let it fall apart another year then. LOL. I think I may need to sell a kidney.
