good idea. Our dryer is upstairs though by the master bedroom and vents out the attic ... so no can do.. hmmm

Christie is a smart guy, I'll give him that (not like this is affecting my vote since I obviously know who I was voting for way before all this).. but I'm sure its making some people think

Not sure if mine is the 'cheap chinese' crap, but I'll tell you, my neighbors were eyeing me down and my wife and her family were loving that we had electricity, a tv, hot water and a warm house while everyone else was blacked out. I'll happily give mine a 5 star rating for following through and running everything smoothly with no issues.

+100

I heard its a retired PO that painted that onto his door. Wouldn't mess with him!

or wives love there husband even more when he has stockpiled fuel with a genny and planned ahead already

+100 I AGREE

Honestly? I bought it off of overstock.com when they had them on sale with FREE shipping (which amazed me because those things weigh a good 80 to 100lbs!). I don't see it for sale on the site now- but they will have them again I'm sure. http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/4000-watt-Propane-Generator/5986361/product.html

Greatest investment for $400. 4 cameras with infrared (can see 40 ft away in the dark).. 500gb dvr and also stores on a remote storage location and accessible by iphone/droid devices. Pretty good. But for me and the misses, its nice to know I can watch all around the house and all the entrances (even remotely).

When I heard about the storm, I waited till the last 24 hours, filled both cars up, got extra extension cords and extra propane for the generator.

Well i'm sleeping with my tv tuned into my home security cam channel watching my cars... weapons loaded. I dare anyone to come near my property and touch my genny or cars for fuel.

I purchased a portable propane generator after Irene. Best thing ever after this damn storm. Clean burning. MUCH Quieter. I keep a stockpile of propane tanks which will never go bad (unlike gasoline). I burn through about 1lb of propane an hour.. and most people I found out are using gasoline, not propane, so I was able to ask friends and fam for their propane tanks for extra fuel. My portable propane generator ran me $400 and produces 4000watts peak/3250 constant. If you have questions, ask me.. More than glad to help answer question.

I keep watching these people on tv in lines for gas and unable to get gas and I'm worried about the gas I have.. iyyyyyy

The TRUTH!

"superstorm"

So friends of mine updated me with this: Sea Girt / Asbury - looting and gasoline siphoning started last night... one is a boro works employee in Sea Girt that reported it. Another friend of mine had neighbors who's gas was siphoned out of their gas tanks last night in Belford/Port Monmouth area. Stay Alert People!

What town Tony537?

My genny has a nice 6ft long grounding rod hammered into the ground next to it and attached to the 'ground' on the genny. Not taking any chances!

Let me tell you-- I even had her father telling me to live it up because few and far when wives do a 180 an are so unbelievably thankful for your intelligence in being prepped.. I am surely living it up. I told her I'm buying something of my choice before weeks end for this... still unsure what I want this item to be (a pickup truck crossed my mind.. but that my push the boundary, unless I could go buy one tonight- haha).

Well I learned alot from this 3.5 day power outtage. #1 >> Can never be over prepped and wife realized how awesome I am that I have some prep sense in me. #2 >> Always keep enough propane fuel for the generator stocked. #3 >> I think I'd like to get an extra handgun and shotgun for around the house hidden. The idea of having to run upstairs to the bedroom to get a firearm while some idiot might be at the front door or outside stealing gas or my genny doesn't seem efficient. #4 >> Find a better way to run the power inside from the generator out back than drop a pair of heavy duty extension cords through the sliding door and unable to shut the sliding door all the way. #5 >> MORE FUEL #6 >> Wireless alarm chirper things. I'd mount it on the gate to my generator - the front door and garage for when my alarm system is disabled. All I need to do is make sure I wake up if some idiot is taking something thats mine. #7 >> More LED Coleman Lanterns. Best LED lanterns ever. #8 >> Gas canisters that can be filled right before another "sandy" situation arises. #9 >> Extra plywood and some 2x4's just in case #10 >> Build an area around the generator area to conceal it more. Not fun when you're the only neighbor who has a genny running and people are stir crazy, wandering around and eyeing down your house because they hear the generator going and you have lights on. Hmmmm. I'm sure I'll add to this list as my wife and I chat about this situation we experienced the last few days.

Classic! That even got a chuckle out of my wife.

MAN, I am waiting for that David Blain moment with my wife regarding firearms.. BUT she is ultimately thankful for my planning ahead for the generator and all those odds and ends I got for prepping and spend hundreds of dollars on that were considered 'unnecessary' at the time. HEH

haha- nice!

I wonder why.. lol

I made a raised gravel area under my deck, hand built a covered box with swinging locking (padlock) doors and ventilation openings for my generator. This way it can run under my deck and be covered from the elements but still have opening for ventilation. Just have to have fun running 12g extension cords inside when I flip it on.
