Not that I want to tell you your business or anything but I wonder about the word "crude" here. That has a lot of negative baggage associated with it. Perhaps it does not give full weight to the appropriateness and indeed creativity of vernacular building forms. Further, as has been argued for other forms of pioneer technology, very rational decisions were made about how to employ various resources of labor, time, capital and materials to achieve some necessary immediate objectives. Plain, yes, unadorned, yes, but I'm not sure myself that I'd make so bold as to label it "crude".

Thank you for your thoughts, jamica1 -- you're right that some words have multiple connotations. While there are a few definitions of the word "crude" that could be viewed negatively, the definition intended here was simply "belonging to an early stage of technical development; characterized by simplicity and (often) crudeness."

Fair enough.
