I was awakened by our daughter around midnight dad the power has been off for a half hour. We had winds around 45 MPH all night with 30% and rain and snow. I got up and dressed for the weather and walked to the pole building and started the tractor. Loaded the generator and headed to the house. After a few minuets I had the heat on in the house and the pump house. Told her to go to bed and flipped on a light switch so I knew when the power came back on and went to bed. 10 minuets later the power came back on. Got up and connected the house heat back to main power and turned off the gen. Got back in bed and of corse the power went off again. It flickered several times and out. I thought I will wait about half hour and if it's still off I will restart the gen. Just as I was getting up it came back on and is still on.
Long story short, I have every thing to permanently hook the Gen. up this spring so I don't have to be going out at 12am to have heat over winter.
I just took the generator to the barn 2 days ago!!!
