JEZEBEL II UPDATE

 I have just uploaded the latest pictures of this summers work. They are number 200 thru 204. These pictures are still a month behind and I hope to get a few more next week. As you can tell from the pictures the barn is getting smaller every day.

Its hard to get very good pictures as I can't get far enough away.

New Pirogue Plans

Pirogue plans have been pretty much beaten to death, but we wanted to start a series of different and unique models.

First in the series is a basic pirogue: Simple and straight-forward.We call it, Simplicity.

Generator Question...

I have a 30 year old 4,000 watt generator made for Sears Roebuck.  I've never had a problem before ( I usually start it twice a year).  I use fresh fuel always, the carburator doesn't stick, spark plug is cleaned, gapped properly, and sparks well (my 15 year old stepson got a good jolt when he was supposed to be holding the wire close to the plug to see if we had a good spark Ha, Ha, ...I mean oops, should of warned you Andrew!...).   The generator turns over but will not keep running.  I don't appear to be flooding it - as stated, I run this thing a couple times a year in the past with no problems.

 

An aquaintence said that in his opinion, the coil is shot and will need to be replaced.

 

Any thoughts from you multitudes who are much better mechanics than I will ever be????

 

Thanks,

 

Andy

Close Call...

Had a close call Wed night:  A wild wind storm ripped through our town here in NW Wisconsin at about Midnight.  We are a small town of 8,200 people.  We lost over 800 (mostly mature) oak, ash, maple, basswood, pine, and spruce in the city limits with many, many homes and/or cars damaged.  My in-progress daysailer missed a crushing blow by mere feet from a 70 year old white ash.  Unfortunately, we had really hairy "twisting" winds (weather service says straight-line winds...  Me thinks tornado that did'nt touch ground) and the ash, which had a heck of a lot of good board feet in it, was totally shattered, no lumber salvageable.  My own buildings were virtually unscathed but my neighbors were not so lucky  - severe damage every where you look.  Over 2000 homes in the county went without power, some still don't have any.  My power was finally hooked back up late this afternoon.  I couldn't get my darn 30 yr old generator to fire up (see new message) and lost alot of the perishable fresh cut flowers that my floral shop uses.

 

Bright side - work shall continue on the daysailer!...
