    Best repair/improve of salt-damaged concrete?

    Any recommendations for power generator?

    I'm considering to look into obtaining a portable and/or temporary electrical power supply generator that would be used in the event of a power outage. I didn't locate any such discussions when I typed GENERATOR into the "search" box here. I'm wondering if it would be possible to have it set...
