eLIGO HAM6 ISI disassembly started today

MitchR, JimW

We started taking the eLIGO HAM6 ISI apart today, so that we can replace its sensors and cabling with aLIGO parts. Walls covering GS-13's were removed, then we started on the seismometers themselves, with 4 out of 6 removed. Horizontal CPS's are mostly out, we just didn't have cutters for some zipties. Tomorrow, we will finish up the pods, and strip the remaining cabling. We did find one bolt that galled as soon as we put a wrench on it (maybe before?), which ended up breaking instead of cooperating, and one bolt that threatened to gall, but it behaved after plying it with alcohol.
