Hi Golfnut. It's not that simple. We would be keeping the Ohio house. It's what I call our "geezer house." It's one floor but has a big basement for tools and stuff. (too much stuff) The yard is of manageable size and the neighbors are great. We downsized to it in 2003. We plan to keep it.
A home in the sunshine would be a second home.
In fact, one of the arguments for a generator is that it could babysit the house while we are gone.
It's not only the cold weather. It is also the fact that our yard is almost perfectly flat. Our basement has stayed dry, so far. There are two sump pumps that have battery backup. But battery backup can't last forever. A couple of years ago when we were inundated with rain for days on end, I saw a yard around the corner turn into a big pond. They could have stocked it with bass. Not a pretty site. Our drainage is better than that, but still, this is one flat yard.
We have people to check on things if we are gone for weeks or months at a time, but a generator could sure bring some peace of mind.
Mr. Boomer has been talking about this for a long time. It looks I am giving in. It will be a major operation I know.
Nice picture, Frank. Thanks. My guess is that we will have some pictures of our own at some point. Generac is the one getting talked about by Mr. B and the electrician.
