    I love that idea he mentions at the end that you can take a situation that could have potentially removed the house from public awareness and turn it into a unique opportunity to show people the house in ways it couldn't have been seen before.

    In terms of construction, it took 9 months. All the chainmail links were hand-sewn. So it was a very, very time consuming project and definitely a labor of love. It really is one of a kind, and cost around 4.5 million lbs
