And us “rural” folks that use a well either have to have plenty of bottled water on hand, or buy a generator.
Can’t afford one right now, and won’t fill the freezer until I can afford one.
Yep. A generator is on the short list for me, too. ‘Til then, empty milk jugs filled and stored, rotated and used as water for the garden and houseplants or flushin’ the toilet until it’s ‘Go Time.’ :)
I’ve cut a hole in the ice more than a few times for water to flush the toilet. In fact, I keep a hole open most of the winter out of habit.
