Attached photo files have names describing them and they are mostly in order of when they were taken (except for the first 4, which are "overall highlights").
EY Wind Fence Status: COMPLETED on May2nd
This work started the week of April 28th. The wind fences overall have been in need of a reconfiguration to UNDO what the contractors did to build them--> Because they were not great in high winds and had frequent failures during wind storms. The EY Wind Fence was the first structure to get it's panels removed, hardware reconfigured/FIXED, and panels reinstalled. However, the final ("left-most" panel did NOT get the upgrade and had failures in the last year). This last panel needed its upgrade and this is what started the week of April 28th. By the end of the week, this final panel received its upgrade and the EY Wind Fence was complete.
The upgrade was basically removing alot of the original rigging equipment holding the fabric fence panel and replace it with more rigging hardware.
EX Wind Fence Status: Started today on May 5th
The first job here was driving (2) manlifts from EY to EX (this took about 90min and a 1/4-tank of gas for each). Then there was a bit of prep work and gaming out where to start.
The EX Wind Fence was with the original equipment, so the entire EX Fence (6-panels) needed upgrade work. Three panels for the EX Wind Fence were removed, but while trying to get to the 4th panel the smaller (blue) manlift got stuck in very soft sand. At this point, this work paused to reasses a way forward (Also phoned Tyler to take a look at the situation.).
The plan now is to get the small green tractor down to EX and try to compact the sandy ground as best as possible. It's not clear if this will work, but this is where we currently stand.
