    It is wonderful that you guys are going to have power to make Life better knowing that everything would still be working, & did not run out of gas. The butcher did a excellent job with your meat! They have wire mold to cut and install from floor up to wire mold box on the inside of your finished room which looks nice! Be safe, stay healthy,, God Bless everyone!

    i have the same rod in my closet.. only thing it sagged after a few weeks.. in the middle.. so might i suggest adding a mid wooden brace so it won't sag..it might make it into 2 spaces. his n hers'? since the outdoor generator is outside.. a temporary shed is fine..also see if the oil needs changing every 2 months,.. 1 long string of chistmas lights on the outside..so even if you are coming back from a trip and no lights are on.. those chrismas light are a happy welcome..running on batteries...only after dark...if that can be timmed...stay safe..
