We're not putting up a flag, we're pulling up a fridge! So we decided it was high time for a new generator shed. Our old one was three feet from the new lab/shop building, soaked in diesel, and not very sturdy. So we decided to put up a new one further away. Unfortunately we got off to a rough start as the spot for our foundation was occupied by an old refrigerator al la 1970's. Lots of stuff gets thrown out around here, but few people go to the trouble to bury things as huge as a fridge. It was quite an ordeal to get it out but we finally succeeded.
A couple days later we got the foundation in, and the pad for the generator to go on (3000 pounds of concrete! That one is going to be around for a while.) The old generator shed has the rusty red roof. Mark Reynolds came over from Dillingham to help us put this thing in, and here we are starting to put the roof on.
Rafters are done.
So the 900 pound generator had to make it from one generator building to the next. Luckily with some encouragement we could just ride it over (well, that and a couple of strategically placed come-alongs)
Hey its in! The old Lister lives again, and it even fits on its new pad! Now we just need some finishing touches and we'll be making power again.

Is that the same Chargers sweatshirt from high school? Looks like it is holding up well.
