IN April, 2000 we moved from city water, to a rural home with it's own well. We lost power 3 times in the first 4 months and the last time was for 4 days. No water to flush toilets or shower in late July.. Fortunately, the wife and 4 year old were in Madison, WI visiting her family, so I was the only stinky one home. The third day of that outage, I bought a generator and cord and back fed it thru the dryer outlet, which was on an outside wall next to a window...
I still have it and have used it numerous times over the years, but not as much since we moved 5 years ago. The local supplier seems better at keeping the lights and well pump on where we are now.
Heading to Rosemont tonight for the MCACN show. Anyone going there ?
