That number was unattainable for a family like ours, unless we wanted to go into some serious debt.

I was fresh out of high school when we got married. I went to one semester of college to play basketball, and then we moved back to be on the farm and raise our family. I have no construction experience, unless you count holding the hammer and nails for my dad.
