Nice! That's what I'm talking about.

Yup sounds about right. The reason why I just went with the low budget route with my interlocking switch setup ($800ish for everything installed). We don't usually lose power much (knocking on wood). I'm sure its like our firearms. Everyone has different purposes and budgets.

Damn did you say Plan F? Thats awesome. And here I am just setup plan B thinking I'll be ok lol...

Ebay and Home Depot is where I did get all the parts I needed...

Cool beans!

I used the "interlocking switch" setup. It's nothing but a guard that only allows you to have one ON, either the main or generator breaker. Plenty of info on google "interlocking switch" vs "transfer switch".

Mine is a low budget setup so I went with the "interlocking switch". Including generator, parts (inlet box, breaker, wires, cord) and installation. I think around $800ish...

Lucky my shed is behind my fence and both locked. Plus hopefully my CaneCorsos helps as well hehe.

Good point...

Was debating on doing the same in my shed.

You are correct...

Nice!

I said the same thing today lol... But ya joking aside, feels good to have backup power. Just in case.

I have the in-wall cabinet already and looking for my first fire resistant safe. Glad to know it's a good starting point. Thx

testing out my new setup this year and no more extension cords all over the house. finally got to install my interlocking switch and exterior inlet. as long as the gas stations do not run out of gas we should be ok hehe. anyone else here preparing for some power outages?

It has backup keys.

Nice!

Thx for the feedback. I was thinking the same.

Ooops I thought you meant Tony Choke Romo on this thread lol...

I'm good with the size. No issues with bolting it down correct? Any issues with the lock and door?

I'm looking for one that is fire resistant but thanks.

I don't have much of a collection so I think the size will be ok for now.

I'm in the market for an entry level fire proof safe and found this one at Walmart.com. Online reviews looks to be good overall and it has a 30 min fire resistant rating at 1400 degrees. Any feedback from folks who might have the same safe?
