Do they have a 3D of cars' locations?

They gonna' remove dirt? Or move it around IN the hole? Away from the cars?

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Either that or there is going to be a "burial at dirt".
They've got to vacuum out some dirt to get at what's left but
maybe there's some bean counting going on to justify not
getting them all out.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

It mus be hot in there !!! . I just saw them open some doors and they are hooking up industrial portable 3 foot fans ...

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I agree . A camera directly above the hole would be perfect :dancing:dancing:dancing

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Haha ,,,one guy sweeping and the others just watching . Are they government workers :) :) :)
They do know that the whole world is watching them right !!! ???

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Good thing they don't have webcams watching my work... Just sayin...:p

Re: Corvette Museum
 

It is to remove gases; like when I open a window before I start the Harley in the kitchen!!!

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I guess the free market private sector actually can have its own set of "slackers". Isn't Kentucky a right to work state?

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I figured it was something like this that you used

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I think they need to plan it out a bit first.

I like that, where did you get it??????????

Re: Corvette Museum
 

They are prepping some sort of I-beam.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

They've cut some of the floor out, and are farting around with some I beams. Must be a union job, there are 47 of them scurrying around doing the work of 3.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

yup in the old days the whole project would be done by now of course it would have been done by a group of 12 year olds working 12 hour days 7 days a week but that would just be the cost of doing business. and who knows how many deaths there would have been doing the project. Oh well they're lucky to have had jobs.:-(

Re: Corvette Museum
 

that was just a google search

Re: Corvette Museum
 

somewhere in the middle is the truth of both statements :cheers:

Re: Corvette Museum
 

One death / $30 million in construction.

I spent a year batching concrete on the Neuse River / US 70 bridge, New Bern NC. $120 million, no deaths. One guy got raked across some Nelson studs, broken ribs, and a crane tipped over with a gashed forehead, and a fight over some found pot plants - no spleef on the jobsite guys http://www.tahoeforum.com/images/smilies/smokin.gif

Re: Corvette Museum
 

They just chipped out another piece. Progress....... slowly but surely.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I would think the longer the other three cars are buried, the more moisture damage to the running gear would be occurring. Wish they would at least pull the spider out!!! Seems like they could do that fairly safely!!!

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Looks like they're starting to suck out dirt now that the overhang of concrete has been mostly removed.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

SkyDome Webcams 1, 2, 3 links not uplinking anymore?

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Yes they are on full operation...they are sucking out some debree.....

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Got it; new laptop w/Linux OS... (Windows W8 SHUT)

Good job with dirt vacuum............................... ;)

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I'm kinda' surprised here that they haven't sunk some I-Beams in front of the perimeter fissures - especially on the right, and put some retainment plating of some sort, in front of the loose dirt walls...

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I gotta get me one of those for clean up after a project in my wood shop! I could just pull out the tools later on.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Sure hope they don't cut so must as to let the red cone fall over [-X

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I think they need to just add a spiral stair way and make it a new lower level, then they can fit more cars :)

Re: Corvette Museum
 

They could fashion it into a large kitchen sink and put all the highly modified cars in it. They could call it "Everything but the Kitchen Sink".

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Another rock hoisted from the dirt...

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Hellouva elevator ride down for the cars although ;)

Re: Corvette Museum
 

More slabs out from the bottom. Getting closer......

Re: Corvette Museum
 

You start the Harley in the KITCHEN???

Jeez... :rolleyes:

You might get food on the Harley!


ed.:
lunchtime in the hole. Brass is doin' assessment...


Fancy car-finding gizmo? Or maybe they're watchin' NCAA Brackets?

Who eats at home any more?
Kitchen table is for rebulding carbs and heads.
The oven is for baking cookies and powdercoat parts.

I've been known to wash parts in the dishwasher myself. Melts the cosmolene right out of surplus rifle parts too.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

YiKEs!

Cosmo makes a mess. There's a reason they use it on shootin' irons...

But do be hasty oilin' guns down after removing it; flash rust will light up in short order post removal...


And Parkerizing gun parts!!!
Well, first time, G/F was out. Came back, and started asking questions about why the kitchen was so clean. I 'fessed up. She went back in kitchen, and :15 minutes later, said "You need to [do your business] more often".

Irony is that Parking makes about ZERO mess, except for the Parking pot.

Funny I did not know anyone else knew what that was....when I was in high school my job was to remove the cosmolene from newly shipped Hondas.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Yet another cool tool
http://zr1.net/forum/picture.php?alb...pictureid=2512

Re: Corvette Museum
 

What is that?

Re: Corvette Museum
 

Its an excavator with a long reach stick on it. Looks to me they need a bigger excavator with an even longer "stick" ( goes from the boom to the bucket )

unless they put a mini excavator in the hole and load the excavator bucket with a mini excavator.

I don't think anybody would want to work in the hole unless a crane was tethered to the mini excavator and they had their seatbelt on. :eek:

They say the hole is stable so perhaps the risk of being in the hole all day moving dirt isn't that dangerous.

Re: Corvette Museum
 

I'm wondering if they intend to stabilize the sides when the remove all that dirt. Looks dangerous. Here's hoping all goes well.

They sure do have a lot of toys. I've been taking screen shots of each one.
