First rain Oct 7, 200, garage done 10-6-08

Tuesday, October 07, 2008


The roofers finished the garage roof Monday evening just in time for today's rain. We got 0.40 inches and so far no leaks. It is hard to tell but look at earlier images of the garage fascia - I started with a 60 grit belt, then 50 then 36 grit on a belt sander to remove the dry and weathered wood (some moss/mold) down to solid fur suitable for priming with an oil based primer.

Fixed the power coater

After getting some parts cleaned up (steering coupler, generator brackets and vibration isolators) I was ready to powercoat them when I discovered it wouldn't work.

Things were rattling around so I opened it up and found that the coil or whatever charge generator had come lose and cracked into the circuit board - so soldered it back together and what do you know it worked.
