Nine Months in Oklahoma

We are SO homesick for humid, mosquito
infested, hurricane valley "home sweet home!!!"
But, the good news is, this one year job is
about to rap up and we hoping to be heading
HOME by next month, the kiddos can't WAIT!

Here it is, the new coker drums

are almost ready to be

tested and started up for use.

My husband and a few other men did

all the welding and building on

this frame around the coker drums.

The first lift of this huge crane.

Then the coker drums were lifted 

into place, this lift drew a crowd of people.

Then the pint house was lifted up

this was the heaviest lift of all

we watched for over two hours

along with many other people.

My husband and a few other men

waited for it to be put in place

so it could be bolted down and

secured into place, this was the

scariest part for me to watch.

For nine months the USI

crew have been preparing 

for this day, their first

complete coker drum build,

it was exciting to watch.
