SO HAPPY that you Have a generator!! That's the nature of most of them, just the barebones, and enough to keep the heat on and some of the lights.Drinking a second cup of black tea with cream. Cordless hot water kettle and toaster are my only cooking appliances that will run under generator power. Stove and microwave are out until the power comes back on.
We don't operate any appliances when we are running our generator, but all buildings are lit. LED's help a LOT with this bc they pull so few watts, like the two bulbs, one at the top of the 2nd floor stairs, and same in the loft in the barn, 2500 lumens, pulls 25 watts of power.
Also, NO CRACKED PIPES with your generator.
Time to read that book that was on your list!
