&gt; <i>Call it $50k total?</i><p>Jesus fucking <i>Christ.</i> So I guess the lesson here for the average homeowner is &quot;if you find a mercury spill, don&#x27;t tell anyone or you&#x27;ll lose your home&quot;?<p>Also:<p>&gt;<i>They were using a Jerome meter, which can only measure down to 3000 ng&#x2F;m3 when the safe indoor limit is 300 ng&#x2F;m3</i><p>Huh? Why would a mercury-abatement crew use a mercury detection meter that can&#x27;t actually detect hazardous levels of mercury?
