Well presented, mike...

Personally, I would just put an extension cord on the generator
and unplug the fridge from the wall and plug it into the generator.
There should be enough capacity to run a fridge, a TV, a couple CFLs,
and maybe an electric toothbrush ---- necessities of life.

The idea of trying to make the entire house "normal" is just
too much trouble. Just pretend you are roughing it on a camping
trip that will end in a few days max......

It isn't the end of the world, and it's just too much trouble to
plan for it.....

Mike's opinion of the diversity of thought in building inspectors
is right on. And his caution regarding insurance coverage is
also good....... Just use an extension cord, of suitable rating, and
one won't have to worry about such things...
