If one forgets the main breaker the life one costs may not be one's own.

This issue isn't danger to yourself, it's danger to the guy fixing the
power line that he expects to be cold.

My WHOLE POINT is that it isn't hard to forget to turn off a main
breaker and connect a cord correctly and it isn't hard to do the whole
thing safely. It isn't.

It is a whole lot easier than running power tools around your fingers,
safely.

Come on, people. Some of you are sounding too much like the lawyers that
have make our society put warning stickers on drive shafts, and stuff
like warnings on burners saying that they are hot. DUH! ! !

As long as you *never* have an electrical inspection, sell the house and
have a home inspection, or live there till you die or go senile. (which
may happen on the same day).


Actually an electrical inspection wouldn't show any problem with his
arrangement. He plugs the generator into a wall outlet. And unplugs it
when it's not needed. Nothing for an inspector to notice.
