MandD- got the job by bugging the barge owner and with encouragement from landowner. This thing's been a mostly sunken eyesore for many years. The barge owner has a crane nearby that he's selling and had to prove lift capability to buyer. He will be back later in winter to fix a few things on crane and then we'll pick the last section and set it on the dry.
GreenTruckR- sorry, I'm not Ed. But if Ed is crazy enough to cut up barges in winter too I'd like to meet him.
Iron Pirate- It is myself and one other. We've needed a third for a few hours to pull big sections when they're loose and to pull foam blocks out and dump in 30yd roll off while we're cutting. I'm using it as fill in work between projects and other work to keep from having to lay off anyone.



The bottom has 2-6" ice and silt in it. We're hoping to score it with a gas cutoff and then cut with torch in 3 sections, flip over and let ice fall out or pound out if we get antsy enough then cut into shearable sections.
