So, back in May Hubs made the final decision to get a whole house back up generator. He made the arrangements with a local electrical company to come and install this Kohler Unit. They ordered it and we settled in to wait,......and wait.......and wait.
Finally the week before Christmas, they completed installation. It was way more complicated than any of us expected. Mainly because they have only certain folks that do each part of the installation. One guy came and laid in the pad for the unit to sit on, then a few weeks later a guy came and ran piping for the power unit portion. Then a few weeks later the gas company came and installed a new, bigger meter-which was on back order. Then a few weeks later a guy came to inspect it all, then a week or so later a guy came to do the final set up and test run it.
Anyways, it's all done. If we have a storm and the power goes out, then the unit will kick in and we can continue to operate the house the same as always.
We had a nice Christmas Eve family get together at Julie's. Lots of good stuff to eat with soup.
Caitlyn pointed out that it's all adults this year.
Hubs made a delicious vegetable beef soup and Julie served minestrone soup from Olive Garden.
It was unusually warm this year, about 50 degrees!!
A nice family shot before everyone takes off.
We had the gift exchange, this year's was something edible. A good variety of stuff was gifted!
Julie has Grandma's ceramic Christmas tree and it's still looking as beautiful as ever.
And I haven't posted a picture of the ornament wreath this year so here it is. Merry Christmas!
