2) save SS angle

plexi removal....not easy, i made many custom cutting chisels and drove them thru the silicone sealant....all from the top ... longer and longer until all the seal was cut

plexi removed with forklift for polishing before reuse

SS removed for recycle... 4x4x 1/2

note the rebar detail inside the old block wall
