[QUOTE="ratski, post: 2613262, member: 936"] Woot Woot!!! Man I am so stoked right now. After about a year of talking about it and "planning on doing it" I finally got it done!!! I had talked about this project with a friend of mine who is an electrician. Asked him what it would take to get my house set up to run off of my generator. I know some guys have talked about running a male to male plug off of the genny into the wall and backfeeding the circuits. Didn't want to do that. Just wasn't real comfortable. So, we sat down and figured out what we/he needed. Got it installed today. Fired up the genny and after a few false starts, the house went hot!!! SWEET!!!!!! Now, instead of crawling around in the attic and dropping down 7 thousand extension chords and connectors I just have to switch two breakers, plug in 100 feet of #8 chord to the outside box and the other end to the generator and presto...we have lights. I know it isn't enough to run the AC, but that isn't my worry. I now have power to the lights and heat and fans!!! Yeah baby!!!! Dave [/QUOTE]
