Walls and shit are expensive, yeah.
$20K to open up a single wall and put it back up is not reasonable, even in a high COL area
until it is a load bearing wall and you need specialists to make sure your house doesn't collapse when replacing it. Also depends on where the house is - if the area is hard to get to with heavy machinery, costs can explode easily.
Edit: Just read the article. The bees started in the attic and went deep into the walls - they had to remove 45kg (100 pounds) of honeycomb out of the walls and had to do three extractions to remove the bees. They fucked up the electrical wiring too (which was probably not limited to the wall with the nest). It also was 20000$ // 16000£.
BBC would suggest UK, so £20k. But also our walls are often solid rather than wood and plasterboard.
Still sounds a lot unless they were taking over like half the house.
£20,000 is more than $20,000, I'm quite surprised it cost that much though, I had my entire roof ripped off, in a storm and the cost came in at £7,000 to fix and that cost included electrical work since I wanted the attic wired for lighting again.
Tell that to most online shops...
I just used an online conversion calculator and $7000 gbp is Iess than $9500 USD. $9500 USD seems low for an entire roof replacement plus electrical work for my little corner of the States, (unless I hire Bob's Roof Repair as his first client and get 5% off for leaving a 5-star review on Google before the work is completed).
