Thanks for the post, invaluable info. I have copied the entire thread into my "Level 5 House/Notes" bookmark. I am glad to hear not only did you survive but you persevered. It sounds like a little forethought and expense made the difference between you and your family/friends getting into a desperate situation vs. being generally inconvenienced. I would like to ask a couple of questions...what make/model of generator do you own; and how much money do you think you have invested in the equipment you used during/after the storm to facilitate that standard of living? (Obviously minus the cost of the house and the standard "Joe six-pack" type of things) Thanks and I am very happy to hear you made out as well as can be expected. God bless.
