March 13, 2007: Mickey and Manny - what a team
It all started when Sparky headed to the worksite - driving across
the Ravenel Bridge
The worksite from the Ravenel
The worksite with the Ravenel Bridge in the background. A completed
building project and a soon to be completed unbuilding project
The worksite from the Port
with Manny making final preparations - placing blankets on the top of
Grace's last pier
a closer look at the blankets on the top of the pier
and a view of the blankets at the pier base

Sparky's setup and Manny in the background finishing the blanket placement
then lifting the spud that anchors the work barge (with Manny's crane and the
1250

and repositioning his barge

Before ignition

Down
Down
Down
and only the stub of the tooth remains - another Manny job
What's left
