So Monday morning with winds still around 45+ mph I headed west on I-10 to find a portable generator. Someone on 740 AM said there were generators at the Lowe’s in Rosenberg. So I stopped at the first Lowe’s I came to on I-10 and they had portable generators and window units. I bought a 6.7 kW Firman and a 10,000 btu window unit. The generator was powered up a few hours later and we could sleep in comfort and save our food in our garage fridge. I borrowed a friend’s window unit and I was able to cool another bedroom for my daughter and son-in-law. Everything worked perfectly for two days until my power came back on. The next thing is to get a transfer switch, assuming it’s up to code, so I can just connect it to my electrical panel and run the selected circuits I need. It is a pain to keep feeding the generator gasoline and you have to change the oil quite often. Still, best $1,400 I’ve spent in a while.
