A friend of mine was at Lowe's today waiting on a truck load of generators.


It showed up and he bought one.




.

Probably so . The Millerville store got 48 of them today and sold all of them . Another truckload that was enroute , was redirected by FEMA . Take from that what you will . I only put it out there for discussion . I got MY generator 5 yrs ago . But it WAS fun tweaking some of you and watching the reaction .

I was in line at Home Depot for 3 hours last night and 3 hours this mornings starting at 2:30 AM. I got mine and got all my other stuff done just before miller time started so no problems here.

Just for shiggles, what brand and size did everybody get from HD? The two west bank stores got about 100 of the same 6000 watt model. $699 was a tough bullet to bite especially buying three but they seem to be good quality. Just wondering.

From what I hear it may be 5000-5500 and not to sure on the price, I have heard anywhere from 499 and up for the price.

Just got back from home depot, its a 6000w with a 7500 overflow surge or something like that.

What on earth do you need 3 6000 watt generators to run?

Your generator can safely handle a 6,000 watt load. The 7,500 watt rating is for peek (short term) loads, like starting up the compressor in your refrigerator.

Warning: Do not connect any generator to your house wiring unless you have a load transfer switch to cut you loose from the commercial power system. And watch out for carbon monoxide!

I just throw the main breaker on mine and backfeed through my welding receptacle. Works for me, but you better make damn sure you throw that main if you do It that way.

You want conspiracy? I saw chemtrails all over the skies above Slidell this morning. I think FEMA actually used them to push Isaac to S. Louisiana. They're trying to depopulate the old Confederacy.
