Boyce Muse is the owner of Muse Concrete Contractors, Inc., a construction company focused on concrete construction that is based in Redding, California. In 2012, he became one of the people chronicled on the Destination America Channel show, “Epic”. The reality series followed five people who were taking luxury amenities to new heights as they constructed their homes. Boyce Muse built a massive log cabin in northern California near Mt. Shasta. The location chosen for the home was so remote, that they had to build a road, at $250,000, to move the construction materials into the area. The road was not wide enough for the machinery, so they built the house remotely, and then brought the parts in by truck. The trucks were unable to turn around, so they had to be airlifted by crane, in order to make it possible for them to go back down the mountain. No expense was spared in creating the luxurious log cabin. The total building cost of the house in 2012 was estimated at $4.6 million.
