[QUOTE="Dumpstick, post: 3524369, member: 41653"] I have a total electric house, and a well. When the power goes out I lose everything, including the ability to heat the wellhouse. I have 3 (three) portable generators. I purchased them over the course of several years. I can run auxiliary electric heat. I realize that the gennie probably isn't an option for Apt dwellers, therefore; I have a small propane heater also. It's portable. So is the fuel. It's relatively inexpensive. So is the fuel. So, your (specious) argument about knocking holes in walls for chimneys sounds ridiculous. Any of this technology is available to anyone that can stop ordering delivery pizza for a week or two. And, if the water is not flowing through the City pipes, one needn't worry about it freezing in the walls, does one ? Too, if the meter isn't turning, it's not costing a dime. BTW, I also have several 7 gallon jugs of water that I store for just this sort of emergency. Those jugs are available at any Dept store for a few bucks. IOW, your lack of foresight is not my emergency. People need to learn to take care of themselves. They are supposed to be adults, not slaves or children. [/QUOTE]
