How to Deconstruct a Tiny Cabin in Just 7 Days

When Garrett and I travel, we go into our “flow state.”

We usually walk the streets of a new city, with or without aim and we always find ourselves talking about The Hohnstead, our Glamping Cabins Resort.

We discuss what’s working and what doesn’t. What needs to be fixed or built, or as in this year’s upgrade - a cabin demolition in order to build a new cabin, which would better serve our seasonal guests.

This demolition project was the first for us and it took about a week to complete.

My most favorite (and scariest) moment during this cabin demolition came when Garrett instructed me to get onto the roof in order to take off the screws of a ridge cap.

Uh-oh!

A chance to ride the metal stallion?

A chance to fall off and never have to do another construction project again?

A chance to do “a job” that may put my husband in jeopardy due to his poor hips flexibility?

What you don’t see here is that it took me 10 minutes to talk myself into making the leap from the tractor onto the OSB board and onto the roof. With no supports, safety harnesses, or stunt doubles…

Either way, it needed to be done and we got it done! Getting off that thing was my favorite <3
