Home Building Kit

Elmira sends away for a Kingsley Brothers Mail-Order Home-Building Kit. Satisfied customers claim that with this everything-included package one can assemble a veritable castle with just 16 hours of focused toil.  Elmira’s unemployed geologist husband Eugene is skeptical. Listen as they attempt to construct the home of their dreams with the help of the 78 RPM records which the Kingsley Brothers include with each order.
