Well I understand it’s not the correct way to do it but .. as far as back feeding to the transformer , if you forget to shut the main off the generator dies right down trying to feed that line. Also , the article is misleading , modern generators have circuit breakers of there own . If you load them too much , the engine dies right down and the breaker will trip long before the cord running to the panel starts on fire . I have a 10 gage 4 wire Ext cord , generator cord are always outdoors. Its no different then if I had a transfer switch .. Turning off the main is always the first and last thing do and check before starting the generator

What ?? Never heard off that before . Ive done it for years …never an issue . It’s still going thru the panel , no different than incoming power ??? Brother was a fireman and electrician and his set up is the same . Shutting off the main isolates the power to the buss bars and thru the breakers Cant imagine any way it could start a fire

Oh man … I fricken hate rain

I’m staying away from that

I’m there now , it’s dry

Yea my generator is a wheeL around and I too keep it full and stabilized ! I also haven’t used it much but when I did it was for a day or so. I just dropped a 220 outlet out of my panel , shut off the main , back feed the entire house . It runs the furnace , central ac , fridges , lights etc

Ouch we don’t have a cock but I have a utility pump set on the lowest spot and it’s automatic . I also have a WiFi water alarm set on the lowest spot. And wireless thermostats on freezer and fridge. I have a portable generator and hook up to run the whole house. And a 16 gallon shop vac My utility pump has a short hose that I put into the sump for my pump up basement shower. That goes right into the soil pipe

35 yrs and barley an issue , now with 3.6” of rain the other day I have water seepage and spent hours shop vaccuming it up. We don’t have a sump pump or a crock now it’s raining again pretty hard . I just got it dried up ! How the hell do people deal with this ? I really want to move someplace on a hill or to a place without a basement ,

Yea I’m a meat hunter , if I get one doe that’s all the meat I need for a season But …. If I see this bad boy and I’m in the stand , I’m letting one fly The smaller one came out first Then Bubba ! First and only ever sighting

Lots of does as usual , bucks mostly at night

You mean the plan of buying modern ranch then separate hunting land ?

Wife is retired , I’m almost there , no kids , home in the village on a 1/2 acre Nice older ranch but very nice shape . Lived here 30 years.. I want to move either to a more modern newer ranch but with an acre or two or try and find land with a home , wooded , hunting land , like 40’acres etc But I want to keep the style home a ranch. I know prices are crazy now but we will be able to sell ours easy and get a good price. My thinking is buy a modern ranch home in a nice neighborhood that has water , sewer , gas , cable etc but is on a big semi private lot . That way if I croak my wife wouldn’t be stuck out in the boondocks alone and would be able to stay put. Then I would buy a hunting camp with some land near us ( fingerlakes area )that she could just sell off if I die .

Yea I hear ya. last year I dragged a big doe out of a gully about a half mile alone .. Im 62 and it wasn’t easy . Using a 4 wheeler from now on

Humm , I guess I’m weird , i prefer hunting alone

Kinda weird

I always used a regular white penlight shined down Maybe why I don’t see many deer

If it was a lt20 I’d buy it

Yea I think this is a scammer

Why do I have this funny feeling this isn’t legit

Another shot to the south

This is it in daylight

Yea it’s a weird layout ..big woods I don’t own to the East of my “ field” Big cornfield to the north and south that I don’t own Hedge of trees to the west that I do own and monitor . Not much activity.. I’m sure these bucks come out of the big woods

Always at night …

Nothing huge
