I don't like Ike

[Cleo]

The problem with living where there is no natural gas is you are limited by fuel for the generator so you are stuck with a small one.

My rich neighbor up the street and a whole house generator running off of a 500 gallon underground propane tank. I think his generator was 22kwl and that would only run for three days off of his supply before running out of propane.

Off of my little 5500 watt unit I can run a room A/C, microwave, fridg, TVs, computers, hot water, pretty much everything except the oven and central A/C. I have to do thinks like turn off the room A/C when heating hot water but for the most part I'm pretty comfortable and living normally.
