Very Windy today
- Thread starter Sir Reel
- Start date
Nine years ago we moved into our current (no pun inteneded ) house and we immediatley lost power for over a day.
The next week we started the process to have a Natural Gas Back -up Generator installed.
It was money well spent. We live in North Van and have 4 or 5 generator "opportunities" a year.
Yesterday it was out for just over 13 hours
Power came back on at 3 am this morning. When I opened the front door (6 am) to get the paper I could still hear a few generators still running across the ravine from us.
When the families in the neighbourhood were much younger , on generator mornings the neighbours would show up with their crockpots.
It was great whe we got home from work that first time and stepped into the house with the delicious aromas of the mingling crock pots.
Then we realized we still had to make our dinner . We plan better these days.
