Star: The House That Jack Built

Jack, so tells it, onto his little bit of Heaven some eight years ago and has been building his home ever since. The rather rustic structure started as a two-room cabin and since has grown to three stories and no less than 10 rooms. His building materials have been gathered, donated and from a general appearance, collected from hither and yon. It didn’t appear two pieces were of similar length, the same species or even remotely
the same color. Up until an accident some six years ago, Jack did all the work himself – that is, he and his chain saw and a handful of tools, bent nails and a portable generator for tools that required power/Tom Burnett, The Star. More here (scroll to bottom of page).

Question: What do you think of Jack and the house he built at the end of Cabin Ridge Road (north of Spirit Lake)?
