February 28, 2007: Preparing the T-2 foundation for Shelly
The worksite

The T-2 base

Preparing for debris containment - here a rubber tire blanket

Placing the blanket

A bit of encouragement - with Mickey keeping a careful watch

and a bit of CAT-like encouragement

Placing another blanket

Steel blankets for the top

With Manny doing the fetch and tote

Placing another blanket

Manny and the encourager

Placing it carefully

Under Manny's watchful eyes

Robbie and Mickey - Did anyone ever wonder if Mickey loves explosives?

Blankets in place

Now to position an empty container to constrain the lateral blast

Lifting it

and clearing beneath

More cleanup

and replacing the container barrier

Then back filling

more back fill

and in rolls Dyno Nobel - the Fed Ex of the explosive's world

The blast site

from a different perspective

With cousin Arthur watching

The Hollywood of the explosives world

A last look at the blast stie

And the transmitter with Shelly in the ready position (almost)
