    Amen; make, mend, re-purpose and rebuild is one generation's function to fill true need or simple wants. Another, exactly as described, merely awakes to any sort of property. If the trait isn't absorbed, can't recognize either of those as a gift. The insult is on them, feeding mindless "it's MINE" greed, waste, landfills, crappy replacements [more correctly poor substitutes] completely ignorant of potential in the secondary market.
    And the condo will likely be all spec grade materials to boot. Showy on the surface, everything pared to minimum underneath.

    Far too many gifts aren't rewards or honorary, just habit.
