Log Cabin Kit
One of the things Rochester has taught me to appreciate is modern buildings and insulation. The winters in Rochester are abysmal. Then comes the wind and the cold seems to bite even harder. I try to imagine early settlers digging into their log cabin kit only to find a lack of fluffy pink fiberglass insulation and exhaling deep sighs of regret for traveling too far North. And realistically a log cabin kit without any insulation in Rochester can be classified distinctly as an incomplete package.
What would a log cabin kit even contain? The first thing that comes to mind is obviously logs. But would the log cabin kit itself contain within it the logs to build the cabin? I would assume that such a package would be overwhelming to the consumer. Certainly the log cabin kit would instead need to include some sort of saw or axe with which to acquire your own logs. It would be convenient if it also had localized maps of prime log cutting territory.
What else would we find in our log cabin kit? Nails and assorted fastening paraphernalia would likely be included. How else could you consider it a true log cabin kit if it was absent the proper hardware? You would naturally have to consider it an incomplete log cabin kit.
The last thing I would expect to find in my log cabin kit would be an instruction book. Notice how I use the term book and not pamphlet or booklet. I assume that in order to assemble a full log cabin one would require a certifiable book rather than some truncated manual. I could overlook the absence of certain premium items such as a smokestack or windows though. Those options could definitely be sold in a separate upgrade pack.
