    Been done with phase I of this project for about two months now. Hopefully I will return for phase two, but that is up to the owner. Because of snow at the cabin, I wanted to update this and the other threads. So here goes some unusual finds on the project. Some of the pictures will not be identified because I have forgotten what and where they were or never knew. This was not a one man show, but the combined efforts of a bunch of rookies learning as we go.



    Picture of some of the lead encased copper wiring used to transport power throughout the plant.









    Three previous pictures are of regular wire that was only separated into # 1 & # 2.



    Start of a Gaylord. These were part of the cooling system for the massive turbines shown previously. Aluminum fins surrounding copper tubing.
