BY PREFABRICATING THE HOUSE AND ROOF AS SEPARATE PIECES, A LIFT-AND-PLACE METHOD IS USED TO ERECT THE STRUCTURE FOR THE COMPETITION.THIS HOUSE IS DELIVERED ON TWO TRUCKS. ONE HEAVY-WEIGHT LOWBOY TRAILER IS REQUIRED FOR THE 14 WIDE HOUSE WHILE ANOTHER, LIGHTER TRUCK IS DRIVEN WITH THE ROOF, DECK, AND LOUVER COMPONENTS.INSTALLATION AND ASSEMBLY REQUIRES CRANE ACCESS TO LIFT THE HOUSE AND ROOF. SINCE THE HOUSE ARRIVES PREFABRICATED, LITTLE PREPARATION ALLOWS FOR FASTER UNLOADING OF THE WIDE LOAD TRAILER. MANUAL INSTALLATION OF THE LOUVER TRACKS, PANELS, AND DECK COULD BE ACCOMPLISHED BY TEAM SYSTEMIZATION.

MARKET STREET INTERUPTS THE GRID DESPITE THE NORMATIVE GRID CONSTRUCTED OVER THE VARIED TERRAIN OF SAN FRANCISCO, MARKET STREET WAS LAID OUT DIAGONALLY, NEARLY 45 DEGREES OFF THE EAST-WEST AXIS.

HOWEVER, THIS IS,3-5%PERHAPS A FALSE INDICATION. LOOKING FURTHER, BEYOND MARKET STREET, THE POVERTY RATES BEAR A LESS DISTINCT RELATIONSHIP TO THE MORPHOLOGY OF THEGRID. THE RATES OF POVERTY IN THE WESTERN ADDITION AND LOWER HAIGHT ARE ALSO SIGNIFICANT. THESE ARE DISTRICTS WHERE THE GRID IS FAIRLY REGULAR. WHILE THEHIGHEST RATES OF POVERTY ARE OCCURRING ALONG THE MARKET STREET CORRIDOR THIS SUGGESTS THAT THE INTERRUPTION OF THE GRID IS ONLY ONE OF THEFACTORS CONTRIBUTING TO THE CONDITIONS WITHIN THESE DISTRICTS.
