January 11, 2005:
Working down the Pearman and Grace ramps
Early morning and Bob McCabe, Jackie and Ted are already at it - the worksite
Jackie with his shear in the biting position
The bases of the Pearman supports will become the foundation of the Mt.
Pleasant observation pier - a before look
From below - an early morning view of the last two girder sections of the
Pearman ramp
and a view from the southern side
and a view from underneath the Pearman roadway
Walking over to the Grace - here is Jackie in his launching position
and a view of the Mt. Pleasant observation foundation
Looking over the side, there is the little Testa that could - pushing
a barge with Ken, Phillip and Bret - on their way to load D-27
and soon, walking up the Grace ramp, the worksite
with Speedy cutting a pair of girders and Richie cautiously looking on
and a pull from Roy and his excavator
and the girder pair is slowly removed
onto the roadway
and finally resting on the roadway
Looking back at the Pearman - nice sunrise and reflections
with Ted (not Tad) setting up for concrete cutting
and Pio smiling -
