Generator frame project is near end.
Everything is bolted down and new fuel lines are in the process of being replaced. This includes new fuel lines for the forward generator as well. All of the fuel lines need to be replaced.

The hoses were found at a distributor in the area. Keep a note for future reference. This place was very helpful and beats any local price so far.

They have a very liberal return policy so I got a few extra pieces I might need. Hopefully I can make just 1 return trip for a refund, instead of several trips.

Began cleaning aft generator. All contaminants, loose paint and rust will be removed or neutralized. Particular attention is being paid to the areas were steam cleaners will not touch, such as any of the electrical. Once cleaned, it needs to be painted. This will help identify the source of any leak, and it will look great.

Picked up some of the generator pieces that were painted by sonny. The control box will be mounted tomorrow after cleaning

Sonny began the first coat of fairing on the exterior starboard side. He brought his own application tools and saved us the money of purchasing it.
I told Sonny that I would be winding down the project next week in preparation for guests. I will only need him a few days a week and I will schedule him in advance.

I will work on the expense report and pictures tonight.
