Work. No big tunnels?

I know there is a very long term project at home.

Still tunnels at work...



At home, tranny is almost rebuilt, engine is still ongoing....
And I'm trying to make a lightweight mesh grill 911R style) too, but I need something to cover the edges...

Why does it look like a tunnel in the Death Star? Whats up with all the funky rectangles in the concrete?

Its a train tunnel, the two strips of rebar sticking out in the center is for the rails.
The rebar outer left and right is for a small platform, in case people need to get out in case of emergency and stuff like that.

It's not a train tunnel... It's for launching Tie fighters.

The funky rectangles are tunnelsegments. 8 are needed to make a full circle. They're 1.5m wide.

Here are we making a passage two the second tunnel.
We freeze the ground so it does not leak or cave in.
Cool stuff, pun intended...

No, inside the tunnel segments!!! They don't look so rectangular in the last pic.

ooooh,, those are indents, for the bolt to bolt the segments together ... (bolts are removed later on, when the outside cement sleeve has hardened.)

see?


the steel bars are fixtures for cables

They're also used to bolt in high power lasers. In case we have an unexpected attack from the empire....

After working on the death star, the emperor gave me a good letter of recommendation.
I had no problems applying for my current job....





Where is grumpy? he's running late...

Good Morning Guys.

I am back at work, I mean goofing off at work.

I had to trudge through a 2 foot drift of snow to get into the building. I had to park across the street. That business was nice enough to plow their parking lot. As soon as I finish my second cup of coffee I will go shovel the parking lot some. I want to make a pathway so I can get out of here
