Yatesville, GA Thunderbolt installation

Sun Mar 02, 2014 1:51 am

Today, I decided to make the drive to the town of Yatesville, GA to help out with a Thunderbolt installation. Prior to today, the town had a Model 7, but as of today, they have a Thunderbolt. Even though the 7 still remains, it will be coming down soon. It was hard work, but in the end, it was well worth it.

Onto the pictures:

A job well done, if you ask me!

Image
Blower, RCM, and stuff when I arrived.

Image
ID tag, yay!

And lastly, just for grins, I decided to pay a visit to the 1000 in The Rock, also put up by Ian and Jeb, might I add.

Enjoy!

What is Yatesville going to do with that Model 7 after they remove it, do you know?

Another great installation, as usual from the siren guys down south.

The FD is keeping it for some reason. I'm not exactly clear on that reason, though.

What chopper level will this Thunderbolt be set to? I'd set it to level 1 if it were me :wink:
Your soil is much more "red" compared to the dark black clay we have around here. Iron ore perhaps?
