Jeff,
I've seen some plans somewhere that come with hip boots and swimming trunks. If I find them, I'll be sure to send them on.
If you don't use the plans or the boots, curl the boots up and use them for a pillow when you brave the Manhattan sidewalks next time. You're a brave man, Jeffery, brave man.
Build in the front yard? Any restrictions in your area?

Jeff,
If you need construction type help, let me know and I will put you in touch of someone who can help in Bradenton. The biggest problem you will have is the building permit/process and trust me, it's a nightmare here in Manatee County.
Clear your PM mail, got a message your box was full!;)
Well we are on the fourth day with out rural power. I just love the Prevost sitting in the barn. I ended up hooking a 220v wire from the gen. box to the breaker box in the barn so our home has enough power to run everything. We have gas hot water and furnace's so it doesn't take all that much. Our well runs off 220 and everything else is 110.
I checked the fuel level and it 1/2 full. we run the gen. about 14 hours a day. the gen. turned over 1000 hours on the hour meter, not bad for a 86.
This is a photo looking out the kitchen window.
Dale,
Your the Man... Now I remember why I left upstate NY 30 years ago.:eek: I have a generator (10 KW) at home for power and we use it several times a year when the power poops out. Happens more often for country folks as you are experiencing. When I built the house, I had the power company install an auxillary switch so I can just throw the lever and go to the generator.
As a back up, I have a 220 on the bus to do the same thing, just like you are doing. Here's a pic of the 220 box...

The creeper hanging on the back wall is crooked:D
Well power is back on....end of the Kohler generator need. I was thinking that a generator used more fuel, but ours used 1/4 tank in 48 hours, does that sound right to all the gen. uses?
you guys livin' in ice storms and plannin' t' stay over during hurricane season - what is WRONG with you guys???
Go figure....
