[SixClub] Generator Backup [Was: Any list members on Six? Where?]

[doc at kd4e.com]

I hate natural gas, there's just something about a gaseous 'bomb'
sitting next to the house ... or anywhere on the property ... that
makes me nervous.  (Yes, we have a gas grill and I really dislike
dealing with it as well.)

Natural gas is also highly vulnerable to delivery interruptions.

That said, it seems to burn cleanly and efficiently, and I suppose
the tank might be buried ... real deep?   ;-)

What's a beast, such as the generator you have described, cost -
please?
