December 13, 2006: Unbuilding the Coleman Recycle Center
As the end nears, cleanup and rebuilding is in full swing. Today, Sparky
started at what I called the Coleman Recycle Center - the convergence of
Coleman Blvd and the Grace on-ramp. Here the Grace entrance road is being
unbuilt. The basic process is: Grab
Pickup
Lift
Lift and rotate
Deposit in a waiting dump truck
Offload the chunk of asphault
Slowly
and carefully
Pickup the grapple
then back to get the next chunk of roadway
When filled, the dump truck carries the stuff to its new home
and slowly raises the truck bed
and the asphault slides off
until empty. Then repeat
