The home is built with interlocking structural panels and can be disassembled. In fact, the father/son team built most of it in their parking lot, moved it, and completed the build on the grounds of a state fair before moving it once again to its final resting place on their property on Lake Superior (in far north Wisconsin near Bayfield).
