More progress today.

Turned in two rusty propane tanks in exchange for two fresh ones filled with 15 lbs. each (I think). They were $20 each including the trade in at HD.

I also have one under my grill, but unsure how much propane is left in it.

I also picked up a brand new 5K BTU window unit at HD that I will keep in it's box for just in case.

My new generator comes tomorrow and I want to see if it comes with the gas hookup hardware I need.

Next, I need to put together a schematic of where all the power cords are going to go, starting from the generator and ending inside my home and feeding all the appliances I want powered.

The one thing I would like to do is get a new power cord that goes from generator into the house. I was looking at them today but wasn't sure what gauge I should get. I would think a 14 gauge would do, but would mind spending a little more for a 12 gauge, if it makes sense.

I'm not good with electrical knowledge so if anyone here has any input I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
