Cutting The Steel on Each Supporting Fin of The Overhang
Ray Parks, the steel worker is cutting off the steel on the joints while Ollie is
trying to stay one step ahead of him removing the Bithuthene.
I helped Ollie by using one of his crowbars and hammers to take off Bithuthene. First we cut it with a utility knife. This is the same liquid Membrane that Jenna put on steel plates to prevent more leaks. Some of it worked but now before Brendan comes back with waterproofing material, the plates have to be smoothed with a grinder.

Malcolm Wells - Perpetuating His Vision
Deemed the father of modern earth-sheltered architecture, the late Malcolm Wells imagined a future in which society worked with nature, rather than against it. Throughout the restoration of the Underground Art Gallery, those involved are committed to continuing Mr. Wells' work of restoring the earth's surface to a more natural habitat for a sustainable future.
