Lost Power- Testimony time!

[Mastiffman/ Duramax7Man7]

So me and the family were sitting down watching a movie at about 8:30pm and the power went out. Now Worries. Got everything back up and running within about 15min or so.

Made a video that night to talk about my journey with it all. Thoughts, comments, personal experiences and questions are welcome!

Thanks. Worked out well. Just sucks my 4000 watt backup was stolen right out of my garage. Oh well. Hopefully the person that stole it really needed and is using it for a good purpose. If not, maybe it'll break down on them.

My heart sank and I couldn't sleep when we lost power not long ago. This is a fantastic set up Drew, great idea.

Thanks. I hear ya. I didn't want to go through it again. I was using extension cords for the first year or two using my old genny (Stolen). So it can still be done. But with the transfer switch wired up it's SO much nicer.

That sure is a backup beast, Now I know where to go with my extension cord.
