DAMN sometimes I am dense---genset hookup

Damn you made this way to hard. Until you have a whole house generator. Like I eventually wound up with. I now have a 20k standby by with automatic transfer switch. But before that I would turn off the main when I lost power and made up a double male heavy extension cord and plugged it into the wall socket of the circuit I wanted power in. Fridge during the day. My bedroom at night to run my C Pap and Window AC unit so I could sleep. I had a 5500 generator then.
