AGREED! I started out with a 3 gallon compressor a decade ago, used it every day and thought I was king. Finally went to a 30 gallon a year ago. CAN NOT LIVE WITHOUT IT!!!!

Thanks MD...funny, I didn't notice the little ding on the face plate until I posted this pic and looked at it. Not visible unless the light (flash in this case) hits it right. Not enough to take it back, but disappointing. Although I do have a 14, almost 15 year old boy running around my garage...

I will. I'll start with the genny in my filthy garage...a lot of woodworking projects of late and too many temp work benches still not broken down and put away. When I bought the generator from Tractor Supply, they were out of the optional wheel kits. I have a couple dollies, the cheapest of...

And as long as I am apologizing for mistakes, my comment "Hopefully I can re-do the knowledge someday" should have been hopefully I can REPAY the knowledge...geez, rough Monday at work I guess!!!

Whoops...double duty post tonight. I guess. Sorry

Thanks guys...for all the responses since yesterday. I did not even consider an adapter from RV to 120 plug. Great idea and problem solved there!!! An interlock kit versus a transfer kit? Therein lies the value of this site. I have a buddy at work who is into living in his garage like I am and...

I am thinking about the transfer switch...The stove and the dryer are the only 240 draws in the house.

Thanks for your thoughts, MD. I was thinking more along the lines of removing the RV plug and just replacing it with another 120 in that same slot...you know so I have dual 120's side by side (as well as the 120/240). I never thought about adding additional 120's (Until now, that is),

Hi guys... 50 year old man just bought his first portable generator...ever. Shameful, I know. Garage full of tools but never took care of solving the time to time storm outages I go through here in the mid-south. It ain't much...5,000 watt genny but it will keep the fridges going, a few lights...

Thanks BA...and you were right about Craftsman box locks...Hanging on the wall at my local Sears...and pretty inexpensive!!!!

Oh, and by the way, because of what I learned here I decided WTH - let's do the Craftsman. THANK YOU ALL!

It has been too long and I am ashamed I have not posted the "after" pics...thank you everyone on this board for your help, your viewing and your enthusiasm. My father sees these boxes, I know!!!

Will do BA...I do hate waiting for the weekends, though...tempted to take Friday off and just be with the box...:bounce:

Thanks Al....I did a Google last night and confirmed what you said...it is a Craftsman...but a nice one...my next project, I guess...hehehehehe...and thanks for the kudos...learning and doing is fun.
