In college I studied
"deconstruction"
in its literary sense, but that didn't prepare me for this: taking apart,
or
"deconstructing,"
a Pan Abode cabin.
It was simple. Built of notched interlocking cedar lumber with very few
fasteners, to disassemble just
pry and lift. The
one trick is it's completely interconnected so you can only do one run at
a time, working circumspectly from the top down. (In that sense it serves
as an apt metaphor for an ecosystem--everything connected to and affecting
everything else.) This meant a lot of scurrying around dragging ladders to
all points of the floor plan, but once the walls got low enough it went
lickety-split. |
