Thoreau bought a house (but not the underlying property), borrowed some

cabin on Waldin Pond. He was reusing *nails* even. Musk has no fucking
clue how to be that resourceful.

Nails were _high value_ back then, so reusing them was quite common.

I understand the why, buy it's a much different philosophy. (And a plank
previously nailed has small holes in it that are very tempting for the
wee beasties[*].)
