Other house projects

Last week, the generator install was completed from an electrical perspective.




What you see in this picture is 2 (automatic) transfer switches, one for the main house and one powering the garage's circuit breaker box. Initially, we were considering just the one box, but then we remembered that the lights and ceiling fans for both the kitchen and the living rooms are wired to the circuit breaker box in the garage. Why have a whole house generator if you can't turn on the lights in the 2 rooms you use the most??

Now we have to decide what our propane source will be. We currently rent a tank, and we probably need a second tank... So do we rent or buy? We will have vendors come out to give us estimates in a few weeks.
