Yep. Got firewood stacked high and a Champion dual fuel genny plus a smaller backup one to run the well house. We’ve had power go down for over a week in the dead of winter. It’s a hard lesson for the unprepared.
Ditto for us. We have a dual fuel generator up at our rural compound that will run our entire 38 ft RV. If the lights go out we take off for the compound and hole up there glampng in style indefinitely. đ
I’ve got plenty of gas for the genset, but my house doesn’t have a fireplace and there’s not a reasonable way to install one.
Buddy heater and lots of propane to the rescue.

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.
