Friday morning I was hearing what I thought was ice, and snow falling from the roof. I got up early and could not believe what I was seeing. Trees had fallen down from the weight of the snow, and ice. I wanted to move a couple of cars that were under some heavy branches; I didn’t want to take a chance on the roof’s caving in.
Richard that sounds pretty bad. How did the new tree fort/car port do?
I'm greatfull that all we get is rain, rain and more rain. It still seems to kill the power every other year or so. We definately need a small generator to run things like the furnace, fridge and on demand water heater. The stoves gas so we are good there! I wanted to get one this year, but just couldn't seem to do the 500.00 price tag! I wanted one with a Honda engine, that will work when ever wherever! My neighbor bought two less expensive types on line, but both arrived damaged, niether would start. His son in law bought one from the autozone, it too never worked, some voltage regulator problem, when it comes to needing it, I just want a good quality generator!
Sorry to hear about your troubles but sounds like you guys came thru ok! About 7 or 8 years ago we lost power for 5 days, since then we have kerosine lamps, and coleman stoves etc.., just need the generator!
