A quick and nasty way to get power to the house is to turn the house mains off so you are not supplying the grid. Have the generator outside, an extension cord running under a door, and a suicide plug plugged into any outlet.

Glad you did it.

That is not an overly dangerous solution if you stay alert. Turn your main off, do not feed power back to the grid.

I would make a 220V version and feed the entire house. They are very common where I live.

It's like bungee jumping. If it scares you, don't do it.
