Wouldn't it have been something if you could have just set it all up inside a good old shed with a corrugated metal roof and order those parts like you want them and not have to smuggle all that copper and all that sugar and all that everything out here in the field and be a coppersmith and a plumber and a copper and carpenter and a pack horse and every other goddammed thing God ever saw in the world, all at once. And live decent hours.
