Go turn the breaker off on the house for a day. Learn to work without a lot of your power stuff. We haven't had power for most of the night, but we are running off a 1k watt generator. Its a change, but we have done it several times before. Cooking on the wood stove, running water is out so we are using bottled water and a 6 gallon can. The generator is running the tv for the kids and one fan to circulate heat from the wood stove.Itb is about 28 degrees outside, but 75 in the house.
