    Nice job - there are never enough hands it seems when you need them - way to save money by building it yourself!

    Me and three buddies lifted mine off. The labor was free. But the beer and pizza cost me $35.

    Why buy anything?
    A tree, a block & tackle, some rope, 4 maybe 6 bolts to undo. all the wiring will separate itself, ask me I know.
