In the morning we went to STT to buy a generator. It was obvious that we were going to need one for a long time.
When we came to the Caribbean, we decided to use people that had built here and therefore had some idea of the codes for the region. We found that this did not always work to our advantage. The Scorpion King talked us
into deviating from the blue prints. That was a mistake! After many misgivings and a discussion with the Steve the excavator, two of the forms under the cistern were incorrect and they had to be filled in and compacted. This meant another trip to Allied for a jumping jack compactor and another expense. At the end of the day we took a beach break @ Maho.

The generator we bought in STT had a manufacturer defect and would not start! With it broken, it’s back to STT to replace the pig. This time we put gas and oil in it at the Home Depot parking lot and started it to make sure it was functioning properly. It started in one pull. We went back to STJ and continued working on building forms. At the end of the day we took a break @ Francis Bay.
