Unbuilding and Repairs
Lots going on today - Scott and his team of ironworkers are busy on the
Mt. Pleasant side of the Grace - removing more of Pio's legacy.

Panorama of the Mt. Pleasant worksite
Pio's legacy - slowly disappearing
Meanwhile back at Town Creek, Michael's hammer is ill - so off to the
Navy yard for a bit of rehabilitation
A close view of Pain-in-the-Neck - each day, a bit less painful
and on the dock - work continues on the jackup barge leg - the worksite
The spliced section
A view of the splice and the pinion ready to be welded into place
a bit of grinding - with fireworks
and a fan to keep the air flowing through the tube - a service to the
inside men in the skunk works
