Quote: We did our normal shopping at Costco and BB saw a generator that would power the whole house, when the power goes off. The power went off for 24 hours once in 34 years, for 8 hours a couple of times in 34 years, and for just a couple of hours maybe once or twice a year since we lived here.
rofl...untill last year, that report sounded like our once a year! I was so anoyed that companies didn't put 9 volt battery back ups in the appliances just to keep the clock and settings in all the appliances current! We regularly shop for battery operated alarm clocks, lamp oil and flashlights. We have a generator, enough to power the fridge, furnace, freezer and one "house circuit" (puters and phones) The other year when pressed to fire it up and see, we found out that the carburator had been "shellacked" and requierd replacement. The darn unit doesn't have 5 hrs on it. (The smaller one in the van/home works great! I imagine an extention cord to something some time in the future.
PS. The propane stove has saved out butts on more than one occaision. Let's here it for the old drip coffee pot. BUT the well is a _#(_@#($(# (<---translates to forget it when the power is out)
Oh and where is the link to your pix?
