I am hard-wiring my generator in today, should have it done this afternoon.

Have a months worth of food stored and if we can get anything locally then
we can last longer.

My problem is fuel/gas. This thing burns 6.5 gal in 8 hours. I am going to
store 20 gal. and I am getting a propane adaptor made so I can run propane.
Gas cost 4.87 a gal here, propane is a lot cheaper. I will start working on
the propane thing tomorrow. I have already found someone who makes them in
the USA and I will have one in a few weeks.

At Moulden Supply, it cost me $29.00 to get my 10 pound propane tank
filled up.

I have 5500w to play with, the AC take 2700w, the refrig takes 600w. The
water pump, flash heater and computer and radios are all on demand but my
VoIP runs ll the time with DSL & Cordless phones. I can turn stuff on and
off
