Yes, that's stunningly convenient, and quite attractive. The problem here, and likely for many, is fuel. We don't have NG, nor propane. It's all carried in in cans or bottles, one way or another. Given the moderate PITA that would be frequent fueling, the extra PITA of the connectivity to the generator itself is, incrementally, not that much worse. Hey, it's just 15 easy steps! :-) The neighbors have a whole-house battery backup system. Their problem is that they never know the power went out, so they don't know to begin conservation! Often until it's too late. (One little comfort space heater and your batteries are sucked dry in a few hours.) -- Jim _______________________________________ http://www.okiebenz.com To search list archives http://www.okiebenz.com/archive/ To Unsubscribe or change delivery options go to: http://mail.okiebenz.com/mailman/listinfo/mercedes_okiebenz.com
