Two reasons it's funny:

1. He'll never re-coop his losses from a lawsuit.

Why not? *He will also loose his investment in this house with such a

dealt with immediately.

2. Should have been watching as it was being built.

You are assuming he ordered the house. *Many builders build and then sell.
Can't do much about that. *It is still built in violation of the building
code. *The contractor is in jeopardy of loosing his license if this goes to
court. *

the market, buyer should be compensated for his losses.
