Edit: I was not expecting a sticky and such an outpouring of support. I've decided to try and find an electrician after much suggestion. Thank you for the love and support. You guys are awesome!
Weird question.
My fusebox is in my basement, where I've pretty much stocked up for Armageddon. I'm wary of letting an electrician into my home to install fuses and switches for my power generator so I'm thinking about doing the install myself.
I was wondering if anyone might be able to assist or provide a step by step with my set up?
Thank you
Buy some of the cheap medium canvas from the painting area at home depot/Lowes, ACE Hardware, etc..
If you are concerned about a stranger seeing what you have stockpiled, cover it with the canvas and set some crap on the canvas. It' s cheap, and canvas can be used later for band-aids, filtering water, making bags to haul stuff, window or door screens to let a breeze through - you get the idea.
Having a professional do the heavy duty electricity is a good idea, I strongly support it. Won't do you any good if it fails when the SHTF, or worse, it catches fire. Thumbs up for having the testicular fortitude to ask, when you weren't sure. That is a hallmark a real man.
