DECONSTRUCTION. Fancy dancy hi-falutin' word. What do you do with a desconstructed anything? Of what use is it?

DESTRUCTION. Destroy, demolish, annihilate.  We know what that means.

Deconstruction.
 to break down
 to dissect
 to dismantle 

So you are left with useless component parts. Junk, right? Or do you put them back together again in which case why go through such an exercise? Have you ever deconstructed anything? What did you do next and why?

    We tore down my grandparent's barn and used the wood to double the size of my folk's cabin.  I have often used parts off of junked vehicles to repair others.  Many things can be salvaged, reused, or repurposed. This post was edited by Bozette at October 19, 2017 4:19 AM MDT

    Excellent and very informative reply Bozette. I get it. Rather than tossing it out you find a way to use it. Good job! Thank you for your helpful reply and the true-life example.  Happy Thursday! :)
