Congrats Ursula!
Jim, my generator cost about 3 grand and covers most lights, the furnace, the water pump, the freezer, the fridge, the water heater. Both orchid rooms are on it. I got to pick from different sizes that have various capacities. It's a Generac propane generator and it comes on automatically and is insulated, therefore quite quiet compared to older models.

Today has been interesting. My son and grandkids were here overnight and just got electricity and went home. A web designer friend came over to do some work and another friend is coming to spend the night. At our house, folks are checking email, charging cell phones, taking showers, etc. We have become a resource!
