#4 The only problem is if you loose the instructions you're basically doomed. That and the particle board...

#5 What's wrong with a shipping container and a cutting torch. No instructions needed ( other than,'I think I liked it when the window was over THERE)
and none of Ed's dreaded particle board

#10 "damned hot in summer" well that might just be an inducement to the inmates to get off their lazy refugee arse and find work. or else just lay there, sweat and whine.

might be even more fun to simply send the IKEA kits over and 'forget' to include the special metric allen wrench needed to screw it all together.....
