How'd you like to get behind the scenes on the greenest building in America?
The brand new Bullitt Center just opened this week, and the attendees of Decon '13 are getting a very exclusive look behind the scenes at Cascadia's new home. This building is a candidate for certification under the rigorous Living Building Challenge (planning for the building's end of life is a prerequisite of certification!), and a limited number of Decon '13 attendees will get a chance to walk the building with the architect! Sign Up Today!
Get online today and get registered for Decon '13 - Don't miss out on these one of a kind sessions!
This weeks's featured exhibitor is ReConnx - Maker of the Nailkicker!
Is it time for you and that prybar to take some time apart? Check out the pneumatic NailKicker, we'll have it on-site at the Live Deconstruction field session, in the expo hall on Tuesday - and then we're going to auction it off!
- Easily removes nails in lumber and sheathing by striking them from the pointed end or the head
- Removes flooring cleats from the point in one or two hits
- Drives the head of nails through material up to ¾” thick. (Great for quickly releasing barn siding from studs, sheathing from backing & pallet deck boards from runners without leaving hammer marks. (It's the only tool we know of that can do that‼)
- sets existing nails to any depth below surface of wood in one hit
- Driver depth of penetration into the wood is easily adjustable by thumbscrew
- Can pay for itself in 40 hours or less by improving productivity.
- 2 to 4 times faster than by hand. Less rests needed by denailing crew.
- Mitigates worker fatigue and muscle strains.
This weeks's featured speaker is Nathan Benjamin - Founder of Planet Reuse and Planet ReStore!
You've got two chances to see Nathan, either at his educational session during the conference, or in the Vendor Hall! Make sure to check out his past Decon presentations, and get excited to hear about new adventures in reuse.
