Two weeks once during a snow storm when I was a kid. But usually only for a day or two. Its no big deal to loose power for a few hours several times a year. But the only neighbor I have works for our electric company and if my power is off his is also. Needless to say, he gets his back on asap. I have a welder ready to power my entire house if at any point I have to have it.

watch out for power out of welders which are typically dirty power that potentially could hurt sensitive electronics.

Yes sir, your right. I generally just use it so I can power my icebox and hot water heater for a bit each day if I need to.
