Tonight, I bring you the card table…
Before
After
Note the nasty wet rot in the corner that this operation revealed.
Sometimes the best way to retire a cardboard house is to torch it. This enables me to reconnect with my inner 11-year old pyromaniac, who rages within and frankly demands his star time. My outdoor cardboard home installations (as I like to call them) have a distinctly short lifespan. Just as we regard our dogs’ lives in dog years (1 human year = 7 dog years) my cardboard houses live in cardboard house years, (1 day = 1 year.) The rain-soaked Scarlett Gables (pictured below in full frontal flame) lasted a nifty 62 (days) years and would have gone on melting without my pyromania. This 7 bedroom mansion sufficed to the power of flame in less than 2 minutes (don’t fret– it was entirely vacant)…….isn’t art ephemeral?
