    Update: We are moving to the seventh floor and sold over 1,000 tons of metal from the boiler room alone. The boiler room has three more floors to go. After we finish the boiler we will move to the turbine room, then to the switch gear room, and finally to the office building. We hope to get the million gallon fuel storage tank down before the cold weather returns.



    As the project progresses we have become more efficient, more knowledgeable, safer, and work better as a team. We have learned the strengths and weaknesses of different members of the crew, know which ones work the best together, and are no longer intimidated by the challenge we face. We seem to be ahead of schedule and this has created another challenge that might present itself in the future, another phase of this project. If so, it will be shared in another thread.

    A special thank you to all on the forum that have helped on this quest. Sometimes it has been specific knowledge shared, sometimes it has been perspectives outside the box, and other times it has been personal motivation because of the interest and humor shown by members. It is hard to imagine tackling this project without the help of the forum. In addition to the ideas on the threads several members have shared in PM's and wish to remain anonymous because of liability issues or trade secrets. Thank you to all.
