Work continues on Power House

Kuma d.o.g. and I returned to the cabin today to continue work on the Power House. Lots of little things needing done before its completed. The doors are built out of left over 1"x6" treated deck boards bolted on cross members. The 8' 5/8" copper grounding rod is now about 6 feet in the ground with a stub through the floor to ground the generator. Only a copper thief fool would try to remove this rod.  The buried electrical conduit is now installed up through the floors of both the Power House and the cabin utility room about 5 feet away so the electric service is now hidden.  Security assets have been incorporated just in case a thief on a 4 wheeler would happen to show up; taking this generator will fall into the "too hard" category.  Picked up the intake and exhaust vents/louvers, a dual intake fan and internal temperature monitoring electronics. The goal is to protect it from weather, reduce the noise 40-50%, protect it from thieves and keep it cool. Actually the goal is to get it permanently mounted so I don't have to keep carrying it around since its over 100 pounds.

We tried to ignore the fact the ninja squirrel is still out there as we re-filled the empty feeders.
