Men are interesting creatures.

When it comes time to lift a heavy log up onto a log cabin, and set the log into place, my crewmen all complain and moan. They ask me “where’s the crane?” and then they accuse me of being cheap.

Well, I admit I am frugal, but that’s not the point. I have found from experience that men bond when they share a strong physical challenge, that they take greater pride in what they are doing when it doesn’t come easy, and, they create memories that they will look back on fondly for the rest of their lives.

“No crane needed, thank you”.
