Yeah, the contractor padded the estimate. Further, it  was a big housing 
contractor, not a poor, struggling tower rigger ;-) They  made a pantload of money 
on a major renovation to my house, so I didn't feel  bad refusing the bill 
for the extra concrete. Finally, it wasn't a matter of  the soil conditions 
leading to a bigger hole. Either the excavator didn't get  the spec clearly from 
the contractor, or he was daydreaming during the dig --  there was no reason 
for him to dig down 9 feet!
