I don't actually know how to use a civilian generator. I would assume that you unhook the appliances you're trying to power from the wall and plug them into the generator?

BTW, I just got a dehumidifier for the front of the house, and it's strong enough to remove some of the humidity from the rear as well. Reduces humidity in the front of the house from 30-50%, and 10-20% in the rear. Really makes it more comfortable!

That's what you'd have to do if you hadn't had an electrician rig some alternative arrangements allowing you to run the generator's output through your house's main power board. You'd basically have to run an extension lead into the house.

Two years ago on this coming Sept 23, I had an work order to get a reading on the electric meter of a house. The house sat on about 1 1/2 acres, I couldn't see the meter from the fence. I went into the yard and 4 rotts and another dog came flying around the corner. For some reason they they weren't happy to see me. I threw a notepad I had in my hand at them which had about as much results as you'd expect. I had on my toolbag with a pair of pliers, a large screwdriver and a wrench. I whipped out my pliers and laid into the dogs until one ripped the pliers out of my hand. Out with my screwdriver, stabbing. I don't know if it was the same dog twice or two different dogs, but I hit under a jaw twice but not hard enough to penetrate. By this time I had backed up past the gate and was getting cornered and the fence was not the kind you could dive over with a pack of dogs on your heels. There was kind of a break where I and the dogs just looked at each other, evaluating. I remember thinking "I really need to get out of here, these bastards are going to kill me". So I charged them. They backed off a foot or so. I kept rushing at them until eventually I got back to the gate and managed to get out. I ended up with stitches in two places on my right hand, along with bite/scratches on every finger of that hand, one bite on my left wrist where you can still see the individual teeth marks, a bite on my left calf, and a bruise that stretched from my right butt cheek down to the inside of my knee. I think I got that one when I was charging them, one kind of got behind me. I had blood all over my shirt, on my back, even on top of my hardhat. I don't know why I didn't whip off my hardhat and use it as a weapon, didn't think of it. It was the most intense 15 seconds of my life!
