This stuff is probably only interesting to nerds like me and Greg. We
both seem to get a kick out of trying to get the most for the least
in generators.

For most, I'd just recommend getting the biggest generator you can
afford or want and be happy with it. A whole house generator like
Harry's is really nice to have but for people like me it's more fun
trying to get by on the little ones, especially given that the need for
them is so rare.

Maybe after a few more winters, some long term outages (and more
miles on me) I may spring for a whole house generator. They
are popular and have come down in price somewhat but it still
kills me that they sit, unused, for months or years other than
to start up and run for 10 minutes once a week.


Of course Harry would agree for me it was just "cheap". I am $300 in
this one plus $100 for the propane kit. So far, between the original
owner and me it has been used once in 12-13 years.


We ain't gonna be able to run air conditioning, well pump, two
refrigerators, some lights, garage door opener, some other device, et
cetera, off a $400 generator. We see no reason to "rough it," as you
seem to like to do.

First "accessory" on my list when we build or buy in Hilton Head is a
whole house generator.

Yeah Mr Global Warming, thanks for pitching in ;-)

I hope 'Airree appreciates that Hilton Head is cold in the winter
time, too cold for outdoor activity much of the time.


Been there in all four seasons. Fall and winter are great times to ride
Hilton Head's bike trails, enjoy horseback riding, and play tennis. 60's
during the daytime, usually, 40's to 50's in the late afternoon and
evening. Maybe that's too cold for a transplanted Florida pussy like
you, but I like those temps.

We'd all enjoy seeing a picture of you on horseback, preferably at
full gallop with your arms and legs flapping in the breeze. :-)

Let me know more about those 60 degree days after you've spent a few
more winter months there.

He probably has a snow blower so this will be balmy for a year or so.

There you go again...wrong as usual.


That you have a snow blower or that you think SC will be balmy?


He hires his snow blowin out. He doesn't have the strength or
stamina to operate a snow blower.

Never had a snow blower. Our landscaping guy here has us high on the
"come by and plow list" if the driveway needs plowing. Usually, that is
once a season, never been more than twice. If it is just a couple of
inches of snow, I 4WD over it and let the sun do its job. The critical
factor is when the state highway department gets to the secondary state
roads.

I've done some research on seasonal temps in Hilton Head, and I've been
there in December and February. Where we are now typically has
considerably colder winters. It's not balmy in Hilton Head in the
winters...I would describe it as mild, and suitable for my usual outfit
of cargo shorts and a short-sleeved shirt, with occasional use of a
lightweight hoodie.

My truck, which is still in great shape (2016 with about 25,000 miles),
might be traded in when we get to Hilton Head. Its 4WD, and I can't
think of a reason why I'd need it down there. I don't drive on beaches,
the boat ramps in that area seem quite good, and there's no real snow.
I think a 2WD Toyota would be fine.

D'uh. Yeah, I drive up and down the driveway in 4WD a few times to
"reveal" the asphalt so the sun can melt the snow. Ends up clearing off
the driveway faster. Sometimes it is more than just a couple of inches
of snow, but I don't go out and measure it. You see a problem with that,
eh?
