Sears Catalog Homes
I recently learned that Sears once sold mail-order, do-it-yourself kit homes. Just place your order, and soon a railroad car would arrive with all the materials and instructions needed to build your dream home. Many are still standing.
Sears Roebuck promised that “a man of average abilities could assemble a Sears kit home in about 90 days.” No detail was overlooked, as both manual and blueprints instructed homeowner as to the correct spacing of the 750 pounds of nails.
I almost wish I could try one of these just to see if I am a “man of average abilities.”

I’ve said this before, but what I’d really like to see from Tesla is a pickup truck. It seems like the perfect fit. Tesla’s vehicles have lots of torque, which is desirable in a pickup. And just think of all the work trucks used by small businesses that are only driven within a small radius.

It’s no fun having to turn down interesting work. No fun at all.
