I was in Home Depot today and they had Coleman 5000W generators on sale for $599 with a Subaru engine. I still think I am going to get mine from Sam's Club (with the Honda engine). I think their (Sam's) price was $899 and I think it was 6000W. Honda & Kohler engines are known to be good, B&S - ok, Tecumseh - mediocre, Subaru, no clue.

: That sounds like a good plan...I have a megabuck sump pump downstairs
: that I put in when I had the basement perimeters dug up and had these
: like gutters installed to stop a wet basement about 4 years ago.
: Since that happened, I have never heard the thing run once...but when
: it gets checked, it's working...so I understand the security of
: knowing money spent to prevent a bad thing from happening that works
: is money well spent!
: Then I went ahead and had the sidewalks and window wells redone...and
: the whole front of the house dug up and material covering the
: foundation areas where water poured in most of the years my family
: owned this place and that numbers over 60 at this time...and a french
: basin system which is really a very pretty rock water retention pond
: put into the front yard...

: and the bottom line: a once dirt basement with an open crawl space of 5
: feet of dirt...that was under water every spring til mid summer is
: now an art studio, a family recreation room and a workroom for my
: tools, etc...

: a generator under a thousand bucks sounds wonderful and I will explore
: it as soon as I get through with the dentist who is going to do some
: horrendous things to me in the next week or so...

: thanks...
