Howdy gents! It sure is a warm one out there today. Should be fun mowing the lawn tonight. Maybe I will wait till sun down to mow. Might be a little cooler.

About two feet per hour. Was a long day with no results. Visibility was about two inches. Used sonar and a ROV. Pumps still running and going back next week.

Good morning Randy and the rest of the gang!

Time to start getting the shed ready for cutting. I need to remove the door springs and hardware first. I don't like working with those springs.

Chris the quarry is about the size of a football field and ranges from 70' to 90'. There is a LOT of water in there. It really is kinda neat to see how deep you dive when we were at the bottom looking up.

Cory - I've had some pretty good luck when working with paired springs (on either side of the door) by raising the door all the way up to relax the springs, then disconnecting them.
Make sure you have a couple of strong people with you to lower that door again if you want to close it without the springs. Those doors are a LOT heavier than they look!

Good luck with the project...

Oh I know that! I can barely lift our 9x8 doors without the springs. It doesn't help that it is a fully insulated door as well.
