A lot changed in workplace safety after the cooling tower collapse created OSHA. Mostly for the good but too much of a good thing becomes cumbersome. The nastiest government official i met was osha. 2nd engineer defending 2 metric drawn set of prints for rest stops. The biggest clusterf... I ever worked on.... they never were right... and engineer never would admit why...

Got a little more done today. I need to drain the gas tank next. Then cut the motor off and scrap it. The bottom is about half inch thick so I bought another 25 pack of sawzall blades. Went through about 15 or em just doing the top part....

Actually looks like fun. Just dont remove the certification/capacity plate. That's illegal and there's a game warden that likes to snoop around this forum.

That's been trashed from the tree fall. And the rot from just sitting around collecting mice and rain. So, maybe the mice ate em. I can get the game warden to come over and get rid of em!

All done cutting.
Loading up in the morning for the last trip to the dump.
I did one load today and it was $30 to dump it. Thursdays load was only 20. This next one I suppose will be about 30.
$80 to dispose of a boat in 4 days.
Yea....so worth it.

Motor sold for $100. And he took the tank too. It was almost empty so it was easy to lift out. I was going to drain it for bon fire starter. Oh well. Less for me to do. Wooohoooo

Or at least get someone to hold your beer (and video) when you cut into it.
