Default New Panama Canal Locks Have A Concrete Problem

That area is now covered with stone pavers. FlaJim knows it well.
He has parked his land yacht there. There's a 50 amp RV service as
well. The wiring was put in for a whole home generator when the pool
was put in but we decided not to go with the generator at the time,
mainly because it would have to be propane powered and second of all
because the electrical contractor quoted a price that was almost double
what I knew they go for. So, we dug the trenches and put the wiring in
but I wired it as a RV service instead because at the time we had one.
Glad we didn't spring for the generator. It would have been used once
in the last 9-10 years.


Yup the joke around here is the guys who bought generators after
Charley are who have scared the storms away for a decade.
I got one from one of those guys that has never run.
Mine is still packed in the factory box. The guy I got it from did put
oil in it and I pull it over once but I am afraid the cylinder walls
may be dry. I may squirt some oil in the plug hole before I turn it
over again.
