Make sure you let your neighbors know that you are the only one on the block with power.

Now go back to Home Depot and get rid of that tree..

It was said to me that you can reduce the noice of the generator by extending the exhaust and burying it into a gravel pit.

Get a UPS - if you have a laptop and run the Cable Modem / Router on the UPS and Lappy on the battery you can run both for extended periods of time. This morning I disconnected my UPS and ran the TV for the morning news for a half hour before turning off the TV

actually ...you do it by extending the exhaust into a flexible metal pipe (tube) that goes into a 55 gallon drum full of wire to break up the sound ....and the 55 gallon drum is burried sideways like a big ole muffler in a c shaped pit to further muffle the noise.

don't ask me how i know that

Had a tree take down the power lines last year. Took 25 hours to get power back. Went out after that and bought a generator and transfer station. Since then, not even a blip

E#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&#^&....fwiw, I was reading a lot before I got the generator. Seems most people are taking those plastic small storage bins like this one and store/run them inside. Keeps them protected. Just a thought. I have a deck with that plastic corrugated (sp) sheeting under it. keeps the generator nice and dry

We got trees down everywhere , on lines thru houses across roads. What a mess it seems just like a Hurricane.

Water came up to the back building at the shop almost inside Vinny’s house

One of the guys from the board (forget his name) up the street on County Rd trees came down snapping a bunch of poles brought down all the lines and ripping them out of the houses. N Star will be there for a while.

Another house, old spruce tree snapped and went on the house taking down the power lines & outside brick chimney and lots of damage to the front.

Helped my neighbor cut a bunch of trees that were down. I got 4 –5 cords of wood for next year.

I got lucky. Couple fence posts broke and tarp came off mt portable carport. Not that I can do anything about it as I'm still stuck on the couch. Gotta get my son to work.
