An eastern Kentucky couple who were repeatedly denied financing for a manufactured home decided to build their own house, buying materials as their earnings allowed.

The couple identified publicly as Courtney and Scott, have spent an estimated $58,000 (£43,267) on their property and home so far. This includes $10,000 (£7,459) for the land. Construction and preparation account for approximately $48,000 (£35,807) of that total.
