Place where I worked had all the wiring set in trenches set into the floor with aluminum covers. Only 1 female worked in the place. Came in one morning and she's complaining about a bad smell in her office. Pulled up the covers and not just one dead mouse but 4. Bagged them and into the trash. Still a lingering smell. Big can of of the cheapest air freshener did the trick. Buddy worked in a gas turbine site and a squirrel took out a huge power transformer. Now these things aren't an in stock item. They brought the new one in via huge crane barge, on to a special flat bed trailer. Drove it to the site and since they had previously removed the bad one, soaped all the girders it sat on and slid it into place. Then load the old one onto the trailer with huge crane to the crane barge.
The crane barge is an interesting piece of equipment. Steam powered, lifting rig can lift up to 700 tons or more depending on how it's setup. When lifting they have to ballast it using river water. You can stand on it and watch one side go down as it swings it's load onto the dock and they pump water into the opposite side as ballast. Then when the load it safely on the trailer, reverse the ballasting process. Frank
