The generator and propane tank have been installed, and the generator technicians are checking out the system. They should be done in another half hour or so.
We are officially prepped.
WIN!
When the late Igor and I were camphosts for the USNFS, we had a generator, and found that we were, really, self-sufficient...as long as we had gasoline and MREs, which were just then becoming “popular,” if I may use the word.
I’m glad you are reaching the “I don’t need you, Gumint!” stage in your life!
At this point in my life, I would like an Airstream and whatever else I need to make a home wherever I wanted to park. I really DO miss those days!
I have decided that the furnace has a sufficiently low amperage draw that I can set it up on a small inverter should the need arise.
For longer-term power interruptions, I'll need to start up a gas-powered generator, for the well-pump and refrigerator/freezer.
These are not the most effective solutions, but they have been a good insurance policy. Since investing in them, I haven't really needed to use them.
What I should do now is look to setting up the pantry more effectively.
One thing I know; I'll have a sufficient stock of reading material.
Well done!
