The height is pretty much forced by the grade, but it's entirely
possible that there's a mound of dirt under it.

I'm not so phased by the 8 tons. I moved about 3 tons of topsoil last
week in an evening and have moved 5 tons of stone over the course of a
few weeks before. With a few helpers it could be over pretty quick.

DR Horton just agreed to come out and "take more photos" of the crack.
I'm not sure what that'll prove but hopefully they'll fix their
mistake.
