    No problem on helping you bro. Just let me know ahead of time if you can.

    Is that old generator extra now or is that for the side gig? I'm thinking I need to get one and I hate to put it off until we move.

    Man that sucks with the water dam letting loose but I know how it feels. About 7-8 year back my old house had about 3/4-1 foot of water inside. Messed up carpets, furniture and a bunch of other things.

    And power outages are common here in south Florida as well, about 2-3 years ago we were without power for a week. (dont believe me ask luna) So i guess 5 hours is not that bad ;D.

    by the way I rather have hurricanes than tornadoes ;D

    Well lets say Uncle Sam will think it is a generator for portable power for my DJ business. All I have to do is put it on a trailer and we can have music anywhere there is LP gas.

    Nice cover up!! 414 lbs, shoot I eat 450 lbs for breakfast!! The trailer thing is a good idea if you don't mind having a trailer pulled up to the house all the time, some sort of small frame with wheels would probably work good.
    Went and worked at my grandma's house all day today, tearing out drywall and flooring, pretty darned sad. I will put some pics up in a seperate post. Good news is we are going to build it better than ever!

    Didn't know where to post the pics of the install so I kept them on my tank thread since that is what is was for.
