On this episode of
Be Your Own Contractor: Vacation Homes you'll meet Lundy and Harry Wilder who acted as their own contractors on their unique waterfront home in Gulf Shores, AL. The Wilders tell how they decided to be their own contractors and about their decision to build in an Italian architectural style. They also talk about the unique pre-fabricated concrete-block construction they used to achieve a classic look while ensuring that their home could withstand the seacoast elements -- like hurricanes. Find out how the house made it through Hurricane Ivan -- a severe and devastating storm that made direct landfall at Gulf Shores -- with little damage.
