I totally want to build a "Corky" for my in a few years. That would be
awesome on a lake or something!

When things got tough, and you weren't sure what was next, there was
usually someone in the neighborhood that would stop over and talk you
through it, or show you how to do it, as long as there were a couple
bottles of cold brew handy. Back then you could actually talk to your
neighbors without fear of insulting a sociopathic killer, or the local
union steward, which is even worse.

' self-reliant ' - maybe, but more likely less Government 'oversight' to
protect the stupid from themselves and less litigeousness brought about by
greedy lawyers taking advantage of the same situation.

Also . . . there used to be neighborhood 'hardware stores' where you could
get all of the materials . . . and the materials WERE available.
