Lucky you.

I expect heavy usage--it's a big old house and my plans to insulate
will take a while to implement. I'm also getting a generator (thinking
of a Kohler 15RES) but I don't have any experience with power reliability
in the area.


If I had heavy enough usage that the rental would not have been an
issue, I would have had them own it.
