In the end, the city refused to let him land his helicopters in town, so that's when he decided to bury the whole thing. Only thing you can see from the road now are the overhead doors. Fun job. As soon as we started digging we ran into a vein of those quartz crystals. You could pick up a bucketful in 5 minutes. I still have a few of the really nice ones around here somewhere. I haven't thought about that job in a while, thanks for the reminder!
So he "had the money" but clearly didn't realize living in a city might limit what he could do with his own property.

I'll bet if he had built outside city limits, he could have had two heli-pads on his garage roof. (I'd like to have one on my dream garage roof also).
