Dubious heater installed

Heating pad under the battery (lifted up)

Cheesy engine block heating pad

Got home last night and decided to install the separately-shipped heating kit for the generator. The pad below the battery is of sufficient size and looks like it will do the job, but the minuscule engine block heater is dubious at best. The pad is equipped with DuPont adhesive, but it would not stick to the bottom of the engine, even after swabbing with an alcohol pad. I tried contact cement, but this is also less than satisfactory, as you can see from the picture. Midway through this exercise, Jeremy showed up to spray a white line to indicate where the trench will run. He will not be here Monday b/c the power switchover date is still up in the air with the electric coop, but at least he got to see the generator and transfer switch, and he took the manuals home to study.
