Pigs are known for lots of things: a love of mud baths, squishy pink noses, springy curlicue tails, and for being some of the worst engineers in the mothergoosing kingdom. Statistically speaking, two out of three porcine-constructed structures have been known to be blown away completely.

With that in mind, we present to you these instructions for a cabin of straw that was NOT built by a little pig.
