 JK> from the one in the basement.  The house was originally built in 
 JK> the early 1800's then stripped down and rebuilt sometime maybe 20 
 JK> years ago..There is a generator here that runs on gas, that we can 
 JK> turn on if we lose power.. but from I remember Ron telling me, 
 JK> it's really only good for lights, and the fridge. He said we'd 
 JK> have to get a bigger one to use for the systems.  I'm sure the guy 
 JK> that lived here didn't have as many systems as we jam in here 
 JK> either Lol.

yeah, i forget what size our generator is but it serves the purpose... we only 
connect six or eight circuts to it when we have to use it... two of those are 
the computers a both ends of the location... others are specific outlets which 
we then connect heavy duty cords to with outlet expanders on them so we can get 
more than two devices operational...

eg: the aquariums and a couple of lights in the living room...
    telephone base station and a light in the kitchen...
    the fridge and freezer in the location...
    the fridge and freezer on the back deck...
    the fridge and freezer under the location...

the computer areas don't need any lights because of the monitors and we're 
touch typists ;)  that's seven 110 circuts plus the one 220 for the AC which 
uses half for the heater fans... i think the generator is a 5000 watt unit... 
we get 8 to 12 hours on a tank of gas depending on the load... we can easily 
extend that by connecting a larger tank to its fuel line hose... the existing 
tank sits on top of the unit and acts as a cover for the motor and generator... 
it is a gravity fed fuel system so everything is out in the open and easily 
available...

dang, sorry for the ramble... it must be past my bed time :?
