In the winter, if you don't* have some heat available, the water pipes in the walls can freeze.* Fixing that would cost a lot more than a generator.* * Oh, it's a 500-gallon buried tank. We did have one four-to-five day* power outage in which the genny served us well.* * Do you honestly think you need all that when there's a power outage? Most of us could live with a* couple space heaters, refrigerator, and some lights.* * Worried about water in pipes? Drain 'em. Buy some bottled water. Fill the bathtubs for the toilet.* You're a mess. If you just have to have running water, leave the faucet trickling.

Bad when their total life is dependent on others taking care of them....* * * * * Why should I want to be a right-wing survivalist when our generator* keeps us comfortable, winter or summer, if there is a power outage?* Doesn't your idiot buddy Johnny**** carry or use a generator in his* motel room on wheels? Can't he put his dog or wife on a treadmill to* generate whatever electricity he needs, and can't he poop in the woods?* * Leaving the water trickling isn't much of a solution when the water in* the pipes comes from a well that has a 220 volt pump motor 225 feet* underground.* * When we build our next house, we'll have a propane-fueled permanent* generator there, too.* * If you had balls, you'd ask me yourself!* * Didn't mean to **** you off so badly. :)* * * Yes you did. :-)* * "The only thing Herring can **** on is his own trousers." Hee hee! I agree wholeheartedly and unequivocally with this post! |
