A whole lot of great information from everyone and I thank you all.
Our neighbors who have Generacs have the big advantage of underground Propane Tanks. The installers really have their act together as they bury the tank and the property is a mess and by the time they leave there is not a chance you could tell they buried a tank there that day. A perfect job.
We live in The Historical Section and supposedly don't have Natural Gas on this side but at the deep end of the Hilltop Pool if you look to the left behind a very heavy bunch of bushes there sits a humongous gas meter. Is it Propane or is it Natural Gas? If it was Natural Gas the Generac would be here already as that would cut $2000 to $2500 off the price plus the cost of filing the tank.
I don't want to get caught. Our side of The Villages was out of power for many moons during Irma. We've had offers to stay with friends and neighbors and it may be cheaper to just go to a Hotel and sweat it out with Room Service. The problem is we want to be home. I have no concern for personal safety during a prolonged weather event. I would be concerned that someone may try to allocate my Portable Generator and that is probably the real reason I can't pull the trigger yet. I will by the end of the day though. One way or the other. Could you imagine someone stealing whatever we decide on? Mama Mia! That would really hurt!
