[Mountain trapper]

Lost power for 3 days. Eventually would come on for an hour, then off for hours more. Was in the low 40's in the house. Had fires in the fireplace until we ran out of firewood.

The pool went out and cost us about $60,000 damage. All the pool equipment was trashed, and we had 6+ inches of ice in the pool and spa. Had to renovate the entire pool and deck due to cracks from the freeze. What a fiasco!!

Insurance did not cover a thing.

A whole house generator probably seems like a bargain now.
