6:30 A.M., the start of another day. We fuel, grease and do any required maintenance the night before.
While I am moving boulders back from the cliff face, the blasting crew is loading the explosives. These knobs of rock didn't get shattered in the last blast. Sometimes that happens. Along with the high cliff, these knobs get re-blasted.
Wednesday we took a break while the cliff face was blasted.
This blast cost around $25,000. It will provide us with product to crush and process for about a month. The two large rocks at the top of the pile will get hammered into smaller pieces before crushing.
Next week I'm working on an elementary school project. Demolition starts Monday morning so stay tuned.
