Meter and breaker box with separate breakers for the house, office and shop buildings is on a pole out in the yard. I just added another 2 pole breaker for the generator. Generator will handle the furnace frig TV and lights which is all we need in an emergency. It will run about 10 hours on a full tank and I can refill it from the 36 gal tank in my pick up. It isn't big enough to handle the shop and office along with the house, flip the breakers to those buildings plus the main when the generator is running. Cost less than $500.00 and does what we need.</p></blockquote><p></p>
