Our Generator is working!!

This is our one and only generator that is working, and we sure are thankful for that! We used to have two generators that ran alternately each day. One generator wasn't working for the last couple weeks... and during this time, the other generator died completely! So we had no power so we had to come up with back up plans for many things... how to pump water to our wells, how to keep our refrigerators running, how to keep our frozen food frozen, how to run our washing machines, etc. Meanwhile the guys (Pete, Jack and Jacob) were busy working...

Here is our Old Faithful generator that finally died after thousands of hours of use, a rebuilt engine and thousands more house of use!!

We were very thankful that Jerry was able to come out to help! And we were very thankful for a willing Cummings Generator Technician that walked Jerry and Jacob through the reprogramming of the generator's computer from Lae, PNG, over the phone! And now we have power! This generator isn't as big as the one that died, and it is also pretty old, so we do have limited generator run times with longer times of power via battery. But we are happy to conserve knowing that it will make our generator last longer. Our new generator is on its way!
