I'm from Wisconsin and large portions of the state are still pretty much wilderness. People here are very good at improvising and doing for themselves.
About 25 years ago I completely gutted my kitchen in order to remodel it.
Right at that time a friend of mine from the north woods decided he was going to pay a visit and stay here for a few days with his wife and four kids. (Three of the kids had never seen a city before.)
Anyway, my girl friend at that time freaked out and said that there was no way we could have guests with our house in such disarray. (I was doing the dishes in the basement washtubs)
I just laughed and told her none of our guests had even seen a completed house in their lives.
Everyone had a great time.
We took them to the museum and little Missy did nothing but ride up and down the escalator (after conquering her initial fear).
Little Arlo saw a spiral ramp for a parking structure and marveled at the large silo. (To this day he's still embarrassed about it)
