THORNDIKE, MAINE -- 05/17/2017 -- Vinny Marotta, 35, plats seedlings in the garden at his Thorndike property. Marotta bought five acres of land a few years ago hoping to build a small house without going into debt. He cleared a patch of forest, landscaped portion of it and as he had money he built a 10 by 10 foot building, often using repurposed materials. Marotta continues to work on his property making improvements as he is able to afford it.
