Ummmm.... I don't think he said that. What I pictured was a soft little
"whump" in a tightly-sealed building that loosened up the nails and
joints so it would come apart more easily. Nobody said anything about
the nails flying out and the boards then falling into neatly stacked
piles.
That would be too easy.
