I specifically said in my post that I was using "non-scientific estimates"...That said, I just took out my Chemistry set from 4th grade and should be able to generate some scientific estimates in a couple hours... :-)

Warren Buffet once said something along the lines of farmers need not understand the bio-chemistry of the photosynthesis process to grow corn, nor do they need to check the corn 14 times a day, they need only to plant it and take reasonable care to ensure it's in an environment where it can grow.

We weren't so concerned that 8 years ago one of the units was a meth lab.

I'm currently working in the medical field as well, on the lab side of things.

Physics and Chemistry for me, though.Its just west of Rolla.

Yet we learn poetry, cooking, some math we will never use, chemistry, history...etc.

Lead tests and lab fees generally run about $50.00 for 5 samples.

I have a 95# Lab-Dalmation mix.

Since the day I moved in I have complained and complained about my neighbors not doing so.We have a small back patio, and directly off of the patio is a small hill... the bottom of this hill is maybe 15 feet from the edge of the patio platform and in the spring (now) it is somewhat flooded down there.My neighbors have a large black lab.

I'd liken it to the problems you find in a meth house (where an illegal lab has been operating)," he said.
