I checked it out when I got home. It's not a whole house generator, just a portable 5600W generator. I'll need to turn everything but the fridge and the air handler off before hooking it up.

It looks like the right connections to the house are there, with a junction box and a lever to shut off the connection to the grid, and a nicely coiled up cord to plug into the generator. Previous owner did their homework it seems.

I hear you and was not intending to label or judge anyone i too usually just buy what we consume every 3-5 days that said years ago i was a supervisor for 7/11 stores in the WVA panhandle and during snow storms customers would literally ascend on the milk and bread man getting 6 gallons of milk and 4 loafs of bread at a time

I'm going to watch Franklin build us a system and see if he can cross the threshold.
I pray that the people at VT can recognize if he's learned how to progress beyond that build and can cross us the threshold to a Natty.

I see this panic buying meme all the time. For some small percentage of people it is. For most it is prudent.
For us, it's not panic buying.
We all have a few things we buy that are purchased every 3-4 days or so:
Bread, milk, tomatoes and other fresh veggies, the meat for 3 dinners.
Then there's other things that we buy periodically that do not expire,:
Paper products, supplies for the kids like crayons, plastic bags, bourbon.

If they forecast a storm we are going to grab those things that we buy every 3-4 days. We do this because we may not have travel ability. Then the trucks that bring those things may not have travel ability. So, over buy- a little. Every couple of years one of these storms is very disruptive.
Ask the people of Asheville if they have an surprises lately.
While I construct my needs for the week I have to keep in mind that daughters will be eating at hole instead of school lunch, wife's office will be closed and so coffee and lunches will be from our own pantry.

And if the storm turns out to be nothing, I've wasted no money simply shifted the spend to the left.

For the rotisserie chicken (that I did not buy), If I do not need it then it gets stripped of it's meet for a future dish and the bones roasted for stock. No waste.

Because everyone is getting tings to cover an extra day or 2, it appears to some as panic buying whem it's really people being prudent.

The reason Pry lived in Fuentes house is because there aren't a lot of large high end homes for sale each year there.
