Need to get the oil and gas in it but for the most part it's assembled.

Now, let the storms roll on in, electric can go out if it needs, kiss my electric ash :harhar:

Why do you need a generator? Are you expecting power cuts?

he wouldn't want his garden to fall without fancy lights in the dark now would he ^^, god forbid his sprinklers wouldn't come on either or he wouldn't have the power to come on Dirtywarez to gloat about his garden ^^

Its not just about gardening - what if he needs to build a patio table and the power goes out while he's cutting a 2X6 with his miter saw? generator to the rescue! or what if he's playing angry birds and... well... you get the idea.

I Like it.. Hope you start it twice a week or so...just to make sure it works... :clap: :icecream:

No, not the garden while its in the garden, after it's put up and have two deep freezers full of food is when we want to prevent loosing it. Call it insurance against this crap, happening a lot here lately and were right in tornado ally during the summer.

And I'm also thinking about winter months, has been particularly harsh here this year sometimes going into the teens for daytime highs. My mom is 77 years old so I'm thinking about heat and we have two propane gas logs, one has a blower on it so that will keep two rooms warm :thumbsup:

OK. The best way to ensure that no power cuts occur is to be prepared for them.

Exactly, that's the reason for the generator. Think of it as insurance, its there if its needed in case of a disaster.

 

[Katzenfreund]

Nope, that's not what I meant. It's not there in case it's needed, when it's needed it won't work. It's there to ensure that no power cuts happen in the first place. Like carrying an umbrella ensures that it won't rain, while leaving it at home attracts rain.

Why wouldn't it work when needed?

It runs on Gas you do know that? :harhar:
Its a gasoline engine

And your not going to run this constantly.
Start it up, keep refrigerators and freezers cooled and turn off.
