Re: Grounding a generator
Electric comes in at a place about 4 feet from the side of the house. There is a phone box and that may have a ground rod, but it is too far away. It says in the manual to not let the generator get wet. It will be in the car port, but snow and rain do blow into there, so I don't see any way to preve...

Re: Grounding a generator
Thank you, Bondo. I am the one who told them stranded wire (I thought I had read it in the manual, but it didn't say that in the manual). I will get some unstranded wire. They had four people helping me but none of them seemed to be very knowledgeable.

Grounding a generator
Hi everyone. I need some advice. My friend died and left me $500. I bought a heavy utility cart and a 4000W propane generator on which to put it. No way I could budge that thing on my own. This is for emergency use, like if we get a bad storm and the electricity is out for more than a few hours. It ...

Re: PIPE HEATER THAT USES BATTERIES
There are some on there, but they are gasoline and I want propane. I do not want to store gasoline in my shed or try to pour it into the generator. I could make a big mess.

Re: PIPE HEATER THAT USES BATTERIES
Yes, I did do a lot to places I didn't even own. Thanks. I can't afford anyone to do a transfer switch or wire the furnace. The money for the generator was a gift. But, I can switch from the fridge to the pipe tape to the freezer (freezer won't need much attention, I think). Goals: Keep warm; keep p...

Re: PIPE HEATER THAT USES BATTERIES
I remember your slogan from when I used to be on here a LOT. I didn't own an MH back then but was living in one. I only own this one cuz I had initially rented it and the landlord liked me so much, he financed me. This will be for emergencies only. I am about to buy a 4000-watt propane generator. I ...

PIPE HEATER THAT USES BATTERIES
Hi, folks. I haven't been here in a while but I had a handyman who owed me a lot of money. He skipped out still owing me. Is there some type of small heater I can use under the house when the temperature gets very low and our electricity goes out, thus making my heat tape ineffective. I would need o...
