I've seen a few pics. I'm not in the U.S, but I'm still stunned at the
cost, irrespective of the work involved. The house looks like a fairly
typical bungalow style house, John is obviously a rare exception to be
willing to spend what is arguably more than the house itself is worth
- what would other Americans do if faced with such a sitation? I would
assume they'd go for an iron or similar material?

It is, and it looks nice. But from an economic POV, it's not a good
move.
