Just what I meant earlier when I stated the answer to your question "should" end this debate but I doubt it will.
Ol' well. I'm just glad I no longer work on high voltage because these folks who "ain't stupid" are a real danger to those that do.
It's not usually stupidity that gets someone killed. It's a failed piece of equipment or a brain fart moment that lead to most disasters and ANYONE and EVERYONE suffers from both.

You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
I use the "fail safe switch" between my ears.
Do some folks not have that same type switch?

Most laymen can be a lot smarter then most inspectors, linemen and utility engineers are pretty narrow fields and many of them couldn't wire up a 3 way switch.
And you can be a royal opinionated pain, and I hope you realize that everyone has an opinion and they all stink except mine.

Oh.....thanks for the proof reading correction!
By the way: "ears ain't working so good today"..... should actually be .....ears ARE NOT working so WELL today.

I never considered a pto driven generator. I think its odd that some think it would be a bad idea to use ur tractor considering light plants and diesel generators are used every where. In my case I'm gone for work 2 weeks a month for work so it wouldn't be feasible to have my wife hook it all up. Since having my Generac installed we have lost power a hand full of times. The latest was when I was away for work and her parents were there visiting for the weekend. Lost power I believe for a day and the generator performed great. My wife would call me and ask me if it was ok to use the oven and told her parents not to watch tv. I chuckled and said babe live like you would normally thats what its there for. Seems like they get the power up and running quickly where we live. Speaking of back feeding I have been inquiring about solar power and come to find out you have to have umbrella coverage on your insurance for a million dollars just in case this might happen. I checked the pricing of the extra insurance and for us it was 279 dollars. We haven't pulled the trigger on solar yet but I think we will next year. I think we will do 50% of our usage. I do believe that next year is the last year for tax incentive.
