><i>The Thomases were told that if they didn't demolish the building within ten days, they would face fines of $12,000 per day. But they didn't have the $180,000 they were told it would cost to destroy the barn - and are now facing $1,080,000 in fines.</i><p>In what universe does it make sense to cost $180,000 to destroy a barn (it's not even that big, there's a picture of it in TFA). Actually, in what universe does it make sense for it to cost more than something like $5K.
