    What a relief

    Jason of RedPython posted a thread a while back of a guy who was surviving an ice storm.

    I've thought about it ever since....

    I found a deal on a brand new one off Craigslist.

    Louder than crap and I'm happy as hell

    I've always worried about what would happen during an outage. Granted it's not a home standby, it'll do for now.

    The relief I feel is awesome.

    You guys need to get one if you don't already!

    I had one almost exactly like it. I sold it a few years back when I was in a pinch. I really should get another one. I'm thinking of going natural gas this time and hard piping it in my garage.

    I'd like to convert this one over to Propane. I guess they make conversion kits for them to do it.

    We don't have natural gas in my place, all electric.

    Did it hold up okay when you had it?

    Re: What a relief

    Never used it. We haven't had a power outage in years, other that the occasional hiccup. I've woke up to the clocks blinking a few times, but other than that, no problems. I've got more money invested in reptiles now and more meat in the freezer now that I have been buying half a cow at a time, so lately I've been thinking it might be a good investment .
