If you think learning to play banjo is a challenge
I’ve done something similar… Maybe.
Yeah… you try moving a barn with just your wife and mother-in-law. 
Can you imagine trying to move it with a couple front-end loaders? Modern machinery would end up destroying the barn!
Don’t you wish we all had neighbors who would pitch in to help?
“Many hands make light work.”

We have a significant Old Order Amish population in my area. So many the local Tractor Supply Company has hitching posts for their horses. Many people unfamiliar with the Amish find them quaint, when in fact they are very shrewd business people, real estate investors and heavy users of pesticides on their vegetable gardens. An offshoot of the Anabaptist Christian sect, they have zero credit, but pay cash for everything. They are one of the fastest growing demographics in the US because of their birthrate. They do NOT shun the modern world. They shun anything which reduces a sense of community. For example, it takes two men to saw down a tree, one at either end. But one man alone can do it with a chainsaw. One man alone is not a community, so the chainsaw is forbidden. It gets kinda complicated.
And if you don’t watch them like hawks, they will come & steal your house!
(OK, maybe that part’s not true.)
BTW - That’s not a shed. It’s a pole barn.
haha.
But mother-in-laws have international fame. Here’s about exchanges between Ian Botham (English Cricketer) and Aamer Sohail (Pakistan Cricketer)
Botham s mother-in-law : He (Aamer Sohail) famously told Ian Botham that he must send his mother-in-law in to bat after Botham was controversially given out for a duck in the final. This was in response to Botham’s jibe that he would send his mother-in-law to Pakistan, suggesting his dislike for the country.
I love this one also - build in just 1 day
I saw this video on a tractor forum recently.
I helped my cousin dig out an area for a patio recently. It was very rocky soil, with some rocks nearly 3 feet wide. I commented to him that “this is how stone walls were made”, by digging the rocks out of areas and moving them to the edges to allow the land to be farmed. That was a bit of a stretch, since I was using a tractor with a backhoe to do the majority of the work! It was a still A LOT of work!
I am regularly amazed at what “we” (humans) have been able to accomplish. Even simple things like stone walls turn out to be great feats of human willpower, strength and engineering.
As they say, where there is a will, there is a way!
I know what you mean Scot - Horse or Manpower?
