RE: The Return Of The Mail-Order Home. With Free Shipping!
The Sears name is one of the standard symbolism of the American frontier that propelled the growth of America forward, it's sad to see them slowly fading into the abyss.
Back in the day though people didn't have all the requirements needed today to build a kit house, you have to have all these different permits for everything and probably a cost of finale inspection to boot, it's not like you can just plop it down over where your well is unless you are in homesteading country.
That's so true sunlit7, the regulations these days is a nightmare so you'd have to do alot of research. I need to check on Sears, do you know if they declared bankruptcy? I think they closed most of their stores last year.
From what I remember is that the guy who owns Sears decided not to prop them back up, then I heard he decided to go into reorganization, and as frequently as a month or so ago I read somewhere they were going to open back up some stores in certain area's...which ones I am not sure.
oh, very interesting! Thanks sunlit7, I hope some of them can make a come back.
