meh. still too much
i would rather have an outlet or inlet rather in my garage for my generator. go out to the garage, plug it in and fire it up. head on down to the basement to flip 2 breakers, and let there be light.
then when im helping one of my broke friends do a roof or some other bs job, and they couldnt afford a generator i can lend them mine for a fee (a case of beer).
or you could by a tri fuel kit like these
