I have a master switch to switch to the generator but I have two meters and the well is on the other meter. We are adding another switch to add the well to the generator at the same time.

Stuart...I agree...

You sure have a very nice setup. The dogs are cool too.

We live two hours east of Charley, and a little over 6K feet higher in elevation.

Here's the front yard, yesterday around dinner time:



Twenty-four hours or so later (check out the wife's car in the LHS of the photo):



For many people, this kind of storm can be a nightmare. Others, like yours truly, consider it Utopia:

Last night I went to bed with power and water..This morning I wake up to no power. I want my morning coffee but noooooo...I have to go start the generator. After about 3 pulls on the rope of the 10 hp Coleman POS generator it fires and runs for maybe 5 seconds but then shuts off. This is all being done by the light of my truck. I pull and I pull and I pull on that friggen rope with that cold thick oil in that engine and keep wishing I had taken better care of my back when I was young. Pull the spark plug, bead blast it clean by flashlight..{I have air in my air tank). Still no start. Pull plug again, ground it and pull friggen rope and there is no spark from this POS Coleman. Go in house, Wife offers to go to Starbucks.....Power comes on......ARRGH !!!
