[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2939020, member: 9374"] Think what through? I'm not sure what you're getting at... trading an AR for panel work is no big deal. I helped my neighbor build it from parts I had laying around, I've got over a dozen of them - it's not like it was a big loss for me. I'm not spending 2-3k on the generator alone, then another couple of grand on wiring, plumbing, concrete pad and a housing, etc. It's just not worth putting $5k into this house for it. That is my plan for my new house someday, or when I build a home. Other than trying to convince me to expand my budget from $2k total to $5k total or more on a house I don't plan on being in long-term and that is overkill for this area, neighborhood, type of home and demographic, I'm not sure what else to consider. I've been "thinking this through" for about 3-4 years now before we've finally decided to do it. I'm fairly set on a medium-to-large portable type generator, not a fixed unit that we can't take with us or sell fairly easily. Honestly, I just don't see the cost/benefit ratio in shelling out a ton more in our current situation - it isn't going to add a ton of value or selling advantage to this current home. Others it might, but not in this situation, I don't believe. [/QUOTE]
