This raises several questions, the most prominent being:

- How long did this take?

- How much money was spent??

- This guy spent months BUILDING A PIPE ORGAN IN HIS HOUSE, and he still 
somehow has FRIENDS?!

I rented a room from a guy whose entire house was full of pipe organ bits. 
For like 15 years. He was trying to get the owner of the house to agree to 
let him knock out a wall so he could construct the whole thing.

And I'm not renting a room from him any more?  But since he'd been trying 
for 15 years before I was there, I tend to believe he continued to fail.

That guy is pretty impressive though - a cathedral-class pipe organ in a 
normal random Alabama house?! Far out...

If you build a pipe organ you'll also have plenty of friends. Mainly 
elderly men with beards, I predict.

Funny you should say that; so far all the organists I've met have been 
jolly fat old men. (Not that there's anything wrong with that...) As for 
organ *builders*... well, I've only met two.

Nope, no beards.

In fact, I'm going to Guildford Cathedral today, and the organist there 
is a women. (Admittedly a pretty weird-looking one, but a women none the 
less.)
