D.B. General Open House

The district of Kiewit that Dustin and I work for, General Construction, had an open house on one of their floating cranes (called the D.B. General...."D.B" stands for derrick barge). This crane is the largest floating crane on the West Coast and to put it in perspective....the crane has a lift capacity of 700 tons and the barge that it sits on is the size of a football field . This crane will be "working" at the Hood Canal Floating Bridge site during the bridge closure (Dustin's job), so Dustin will see it alot! Also, the flag that is attached to the crane is 30 feet by 50 feet. We headed to Seattle, for the homecoming/open house and have attached a few photos.



No stroller for Cooper.....he had to be contained to a backpack and doesn't look to happy about it.

On the hour long ferry trip, he spent his time practicing to drive.

Really, I am not getting into trouble. We see this look a lot!






Here it is! Pretty cool, at least to us construction nerds! :-)
