Again, thank you........just told hubby and he understands.
No big permanent generator that would use propane gas. One less thing to buy.

Unless it would be a portable one I guess. He said he just sold our two generators that ran about $1,200 each.......for $400 each. They used gasoline. Didn't want to move them.

There are good things and bad things about zoning or lack of zoning or strictly enforced rules or not so strictly enforced rules, as up here.

In N.J. they have to get a permit for every little home improvement; not so in Vermont. Also, up here, the local contractors never make us sign contracts; a handshake is sufficient. But then again, everyone knows everyone and their parents, grandparents and uncles.........so news of a bad job would "get around".
