Prayer Request

Hello. I know that we have a lot of people already praying for us, but we could use some more. I'm not sure who knows about our home situation here, but we have been having some foundation problems on our just barely a year old house. We hired an engineer to come look at it before our home warranty was up and got the reports to the builder. He tried to tell us it was our fault cause we didn't "water properly" and then had his own engineer come out. (this was about 1 1/2 months ago) His engineer came out and said that watering might have had something to do with it but it had more to do with how the drainage was set up in our backyard. When he gave us the report his reccomendation was the same as our engineer. We tried to call the builder and he was conveniently out of town for 6 weeks. We finally got a call back from him today and he tried to tell Eddie that because he has pictures of our lawn brown (which spots were brown but we had basically two months of temps over 103degrees and EVERYONE'S lawns were brown spotted...and besides our tree was green and our neighbors is totally dead!) that he expects us to pay at least half if not more of the repairs. So we're going to have to go to a mediation situation where a thrid party engineer comes out and inspects the house. Pretty much whatever this third party guys says we have to do...although when Eddie told the builder we opted to go to a mediation he said that he didn't have to do what they told him to do. So now we're not sure what is going on and/or what to do. So any and all prayers would be greatly appreciated.
