Quest Group: Epilogue - Part 2 - Beecher's Hope
Category: Story Mission
Prerequisites: To play this mission, you must first complete the mission Bare Knuckle Friendships.
You can start this mission by approaching Uncle at your ranch at Beecher's Hope. Uncle will convince John that if he wants Abigail to come back to him, he has to build a new house. To do so, he must first demolish the ruined shack that stands on his ranch.
John, Uncle and Charles tear down the derelict shack at Beecher's Hope.
Note: To make sure you get the gold medal, DON'T skip the cutscenes. It's probably a bug, but watching them seems to be necessary to earn the medal.

You're gonna use horses and ropes to tear down the shack.
As soon as you regain control over John, start pulling the rope and press the appropriate button as fast as you can. If it doesn't take you more than 18 seconds to destroy the shack, you'll earn the gold medal.
When an old building is demolished, Uncle will tell you where you should go to start building a new house and this mission will end.
After completing this mission, you will be able to play the mission The Tool Box.
