I sure agree with the generator deal. Many (many!) years ago I spent a couple hours hauling 5 gal. buckets of water up out of our small basement to keep the furnace and hot water tank dry. Bought a generator, best insurance I ever bought, never actually had to use it. I keep it ready and a couple 5 gal cans of fresh gas just in case.....

WOW that's old skool B&S generator, love it!


Ran many of those old engines on mini bikes and go carts I built when I was a teenager.

Is there a particular reason you chose gasoline over propane? Propane always struck me as needing less attention, between uses, to remain reliable.
