Power Outage

Lost power yesterday afternoon at home, still down as of now, some 18 hours later. Forget how much is tied to electricity these days, and how much we count on that to keep the kids busy.

First time in 2+ years that I actually spun up the generator for more than it's monthly power up. Found out that my reworking of the panels a few years back worked like a charm, but I missed too many lighting circuits. Guess it's good that it worked.

Would not have guessed this would have been in early summer and not the middle of winter, which is why I really have the generator in the first place.

You have a generator wired right into your panel? Nice. I thought about doing that when we were having frequent outages, but decided it was impractical.
