Started moving forward

I finished up fairing the edges of the taping on the floor structure and port fuel tanks this morning. Then I moved the generator out of the way this afternoon. That little monster is HEAVY, I knew it was not light but it surprised me just how heavy it was. Had to rethink my strategy for moving it.





 I ended up setting my rolling scaffolding up with a beam across the top rungs. Wrapped a chain around the beam and hung a 2000Lb. come-along from it. Set the chain up so that the lift was slanted slightly towards my destination. When I lifted the genset it swung to under that location. It took about 5 moves to get it in place, all nice and tucked in ahead of the port fuel tank out of my way.





So her she sits till I am ready to put her back in place. I need to seal her in there somehow to keep the grinding dust off....good luck with that.








This is the last section of the old "sound" shielding. All the wires are coming from the breaker panel. I think I have come up with plan to make this much more organized by running a couple of large diameter Seal-tite flex conduit. It will bundle the wires together and provide an extra layer of protection.
