we've gone to propane generators. Much easier to haul and store fuel.

I have a propane generator after a little more than two weeks without power a few years ago.
It's like camping with a bed and walls........not bad at all

that was my favorite thing about beach camping in Baja. Sitting around the bon fire at night.

That's a forced hot air wood fired furnace. It's 73° in the basement. Probably around 15° outside. Upstairs is a few degrees warmer.
That's what sucks. It is really nice and warm no matter what. But I am kind of a slave to it....wether I'm stacking wood or feeding the fire.

'Managed to get a wriggle-on building the new greenhouse after a 3-day binge of CBF.
'Had to reconfigure the frame due to nebulous Chinese-English instructions
Frame is now square (to within thumb), but the aluminium saddles & pegs provided to hold it down are absolute crap & wouldn't survive next winter, so an early-morning dash to the nearest Bunnings is in order tomorrow to get some decent steel ones. Next few days are gonna be in the mid-high 30's, so I need to get stuff done early.
Pallet in the background is where the 1000L IBC is going on a stack of pallets with a low-pressure timer to deliver watering.
I COULD provide mains power to this site if I wanted to, but figured KISS & see how it goes.
Being in OZ & having lashings of available daylight & good weather makes things easier.

As marketing demands, my Internet has never gone down.
It's all underground, the contractor in this area was making $75 per foot.

I'm stuck with cable company internet. AT&T won't replace the 80's phone wires with fiber here.
