What To Do: To Sell Me Your Bird.

What To Do: To Sell Me Your Bird.
Leroy, Shane directed me to a local generator repair shop who got
the stuff for me. (Shane seems to know just about everything. If I
can't find it or fix it Shane always comes thru and locates or helps
me some way) I don't have all the insulation in yet but it but I did
fire up the ole girl just to see about the vibration and that helped
a lot. My entrance door is right next to the generator compartment
and I still have just a little vibration coming from the door area.
One is the screen in the window of the door which I can fix and the
other seems to be the door against the door frame which I don't know
if I can resolve (any one got any idea'ers)

The insulation is from Steve Bartles and is great stuff. I applied a
coating of contact cement to the metal first before attaching the
insulation. (I wear a belt and suspenders) That stuff is on there.
You better mean it when you go to place it. The first piece I worked
with I accidently got it up against the metal before I was ready had
myself a little learning experience. I plan to do the dog house and
such as soon as I get the glue and foam off my fingers.

I am thinking about putting a piece of that stuff on my bald head. It
would save me some injury but I am worried that I might not be able
to hear myself think, humm maybe that would be good....

I re-insulated my genny compartment with the stuff from Stephen and
now there is virtually no noise in the coach.
