Just ordered my first generator
Went with the EU2000i by Honda.
I have a friend that has a eu1000i, and I was VERY impressed at how quiet it was. It was hard to hear. These generators are rated to 53 to 59 decibels at 7 meters, which is the volume of normal speech. Hopefully the power doesn't go out here, but if it does, I expect to receive this generator in the mail right after the power comes back on. |

Four year old dies due to CO poisoning.
http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/...n/6001700.html Many more in the hospital. Both Farrah and my father asked if this generator could be run indoors. Also, in "I am Legend" the main character runs a bank of generators indoors. You can die of CO poisoning, even if your generator is OUTDOORS, if you are getting the exhaust in your home. |

So I got my generator. I'm trying to figure out what I can use it for on a campout. Besides the obvious--lights, fans, projector + DVD player.
Any ideas? |

Ok, you bastards, you have now relegated me to simply bragging that I have a nice generator.
I HAVE A GENERATOR, I HAVE A GENNNNNERRRRATOOOORRRRR!!!! I'm having a bit of buyer's remorse however. Maybe I should have gotten a LCD TV instead. |

Maybe when his power goes out though you can tote the generator over so you can still catch the game.

I bought a battery-powered Kidde carbon monoxide detector. Hopefullyl this will prevent us from killing ourselves with the generator, if we ever have to use said generator.
It was only $20 from home depot. Even if you don't have a generator, good thing to have. I have a friend whose sister almost died of CO poisoning at a BYU apartment. |
