I'm at the tail end of the line in the power grid. I, and my neighbors
are the first to lose power and the last to get restored in an outage. I
cringe with every storm.

My idea is to install another breaker box and reroute a few lighting
circuits, TV, phone and a room air conditioner. During an outage I would
throw the breaker in the main box that feeds the secondary as to isolate
it then fire up the generator and feed the secondary box. I'm guessing
that 5kw will do the job. I'd like to run it on natural gas. Is there a
good website that focuses on such projects?


Phones are run on their own power thru the lines, unless you have a cordless
which is stupid for emergencies.
