Gasoline power generator can sure be
handy to have. Might be able to borrow
one from a friend, if not already
owned. My generator helped keep me
warm during the 2003 ice storm. Wire the
furnace to a power cord which I cut of
a curbside device of some kind, years
ago. Extension cords. Generator outdoors
away from the house. Chained down.


I used my generator when power was out for several days after the
tornado in May 2015. In that case, it was hot so I used a window air
conditioner on it. Of course it wouldn't cool the whole house, but I
could go in the kitchen to cool off.

There was another time I needed the furnace. When I bought this house,
the furnace had a cord and plug. When I had it replaced 3 years ago, the
new one was connected with a cord and plug. It would be easy to use that
on a generator.
