“We’ve had power go down for over a week in the dead of winter. It’s a hard lesson for the unprepared.”

Ditto here in Hayden Lake. Trees got down on the power lines and power can be out seven to ten days. It’s been a while since it happened.

I don’t trust Avista with their “green” plans. I figure they will foul up their reliability by bowing to the Green God. They were yakking a lot about green a couple years ago when an insane Canadian green company was making a play for them, but that got shot down (thank God).

We’ve got a 26 kW Briggs & Stratton permanently installed on a concrete pad with an automatic transfer switch. Runs on natural gas. Might have to convert it to propane if they succeed in killing gas.

Sounds like a nice rig. Natgas may become an iffy proposition inthe future if Gang Green has its way. May want to have a 500 gal propane rank installed and re-jet the genny accordingly. But even propane has become ridiculous. Just paid $421 for 100 gallons delivered. Couldn't afford a full 200 gallons to refill our 320 gallon tank.

I know what you mean about Hayden Lake. The east side is pretty rugged with a twisty two laner. Beautiful, though.
