[Rhodes22-list] The weather.

[brad haslett]

Rummy, I found the invoice on the Honda 1000i that I
bought for the boat.  It came from
norhwestpowertools.com for $629 with free shipping. 
We've already had one power outage here since I bought
it but it didn't last long enough for a good field
test.  My heating units are located in the attic.  I
feel very confident that the generator would power the
fan on at least one of the units.  The attic is
ventilated but the safer route would probably be to
run a cord out the window down to the deck and run the
genset outside.  You'd still need candles for light
but at least your pipes wouldn't freeze.  We had a
major ice storm in Tennessee about 93' or 94' and the
power stayed out for days.  It dropped a huge oak tree
right at my front door that I had to cut up to get in
the house.  The house had a wood stove so that solved
my heating problems until the power came back.  The
Honda I have is not as big as I would like for home
power back-up use but at 26 pounds its a good
compromise.  Good luck and happy thawing.  Brad.
