Ok, is that you Mr. Texasredtop? LOL - That’s EXACTLY what he wanted to do yesterday. I know they wouldn’t have cared and we were worried about the freezer contents more than anything but I would have never done it without asking them first. We’re not sure where they went off to as they are retired and travel a bunch.
hi, honey - you like this disguise? how did you figure me out so quickly?

I’ve shared extension cord electricity with neighbors in the past. Have also shared water by means of garden hose connection of two house’s water systems. At least you can get something that way.
The big problem with the extension cord idea is that you have a “voltage drop” that becomes noticeable with longer cords. If the cord is long enough, that voltage drop can actually result in damage to appliance motors, and sometimes electronics. The only way to overcome that is to get VERY HEAVY wire cords which means very expensive. (Unless you want to get step up and step down transformers in the circuit, too...) It is possible to run two or more cords in parallel, too - a pain in the neck.
