    My brother has done something similar, except my bro started with little money and did all the work himself (no contractors, helicopters, heavy machinery - except the 1948 International he recently bought - after all the hard work was done).

I helped build his cabin from logs that he felled himself. I'm glad Les has the means to be able to pay other people to do the work.
