Help me understand rebuild vs crate?

Blueprint is not paying any taxes in your state, nor hiring fellow citizens, nor putting any of your money into your local economy aside from possibly the truck driver that delivers it. Sourcing labor operations mail order is the surest way to put local shops out of business. To some that matters.
Fact is I'd prefer to know how everything works and do it myself, including fixing issues ignorance might cause. And I'm for using local labor and having shops and professionals around to help me in the future.
