boyst Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 I lost power Saturday afternoon. Got home from work Monday afternoon, still no power. Hang out awhile with no power. Called Dominion for status, they said 90% of users will be back up by Friday. Check my mail and find a 10% off Lowes coupon. So I take that as a sign to go buy a generator. Buy a generator and get it up and running. Go outside to cleanup the tree limbs, branches, leaves, etc. 2 hours later I'm finished and go back inside. Lights are on all over the house. Power is back on A generator is a strange thing. I do not have a portable one but having one when you need one can be an amazing investment. My parents have a generator on their house - this will come in handy for an errant hurricane coming this far in or winter ice storms. It is a natural gas generator - though some could argue diesel is better since it is off the grid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
