Look
for something new on the waters of Birch Lake next year! As a part of the multiyear rehabilitation
project, the harvester was painted a light blue, replacing the faded
green. The paint job was completed by
Capitol Town Painting. The entire
harvester was pressure washed and sand blasted prior to the application of a
two-part marine epoxy paint. During the
sand blasting process about 4 layers of paint were removed before reaching the
original paint!
The
last part of the project will be the evaluation of the harvester hydraulic
hoses, and, if needed, their replacement.
This should happen during the next couple of months.
The
harvester was purchased from the City of Forest Lake in about 2006. The exact age of the harvester is unknown,
but estimates put it at about 40 years!
It is hoped that with the completion of the project it will be good for
another 40!
