I hear you, about power cuts. I'm in NY, not far from Ohio.
We do power cuts in the winter, which are miserable. The
cold soaks into homes in a hurry, when the furnace is out. I
live in a mobile home. For me, the front door is loose
enough to run a cord under. I run the furnace off the
generator for about an hour and then let the generator cool,
and bring it indoors.

Thanks everyone, and RBM for the link to exactly what I'm
looking for! I
hacked around on the web and hadn't come across anything
like that. I'll
check the local electric supply shops (now that I know what
to ask for!) and
see if I can get one for the weekend! It's been 1 yr since
Hurricane Ike
went thru Ohio and we were without power for a week. Wasn't
all that much
of an issue then because the weather was warm, but I'm sure
the next time it
will be 20 below and I certainly don't want to have a window
cracked to run
the wire thru!

Thanks again....
