"I was just plain miserable"
totally ... sitting in the dark (and freezing if winter)with nothing to do but wonder if/when the power might come back on sucks ... we lose our power about once a year for a few hours for various reasons and i decided i was tired of it, so now have a whole-house, natural gas rig (26 horse Honda with Mecc Alte gen head and auto-start) that produces 50amps at 220volts at 5,000 feet altitude ...

Nice set up. You need a strong chain and lock. Your house will be easy to see at night with your lights on.

Also...how are you running an entire house, all at the same time, on 50 amps?
A/C, refrigerators, freezers, etc.
