General Discussion / Re: Looking Towards Spring in ...
Last post by MsJennJenn - August 27, 2026, 09:20:45 PMWe lost a good one in Dolly. She was very impactful to many of all ages.
I'm so glad tomorrow is Friday. I got moved to a new team at work around May? and my new manager is something else. He constantly says he doesn't like to micromanage and then he sends EIGHT paragraph emails complaining about something. He's so sarcastic. He calls out stuff to the whole team instead of just coming to you directly if it was your call out. I do not know what I am supposed to be learning on this team but every time he sends an email I get irritated all over again.

Last post by Roscoe - August 26, 2026, 03:03:03 AMShew day one of the week down. Sad because Dolly Parton died. Never met her, didn't listen to her music alot, but she was one of those constants, always there.
Hoping to star on our remodel/ conversion project this week.

Last post by Lynx - August 20, 2026, 11:45:40 PMQuote from: Roscoe on August 19, 2026, 12:44:58 AMStrangely enough, when we changed from pews to chairs, everyone loved them- and now I hear constantly "Can we buy some pews?" Sheesh.
And in sharing- we had a storm come through yesterday that dumped around 2 inches of much needed rain. It also took my power with it, which action was NOT needed or desired. So, after being without power for 18 hours, and stressing about my three freezers full of meat, I took off to day, raided the savings account and went to Harbor Freight. I WANTED a small generator, but they were out so I wound up buying a 10k watt generator. Overkill much?
Our electric company was forcasting late tonight or tomorrow for power to come back on. As I tightened the last nut on the wheel kit of my new generator, those turds showed up. An hour and a half after my generator went online, they got my power back on. Thanks. I kinda needed to KEEP that large chunk of cash.
And it wasn't TOO hot today, only 93. Almost a pleasant fall day. I cut the lawn and cleaned up some stuff..
10k didn't sound like overkill to me, so I googled how many 240v ACs a 10k generator could power. Google said:
A 10 kW generator can typically power one central 240-volt air conditioner (up to 3 to 4 tons) or two smaller 240-volt window/mini-split units.
While a 10,000-watt generator has enough running power for multiple small units, the massive surge (starting) wattage required by compressor motors usually prevents running more than one large central AC at the same time.
Power Requirements for 240V Air Conditioners
Central AC (2 to 3 Ton): Uses about 2,000 to 3,500 running watts, but needs 4,000 to 7,000 surge watts to start.
Central AC (4 to 5 Ton): Uses about 3,800 to 5,000 running watts and can require 11,000+ surge watts, which can overload a 10 kW unit unless a soft-start kit is installed.
Large 240V Window / Mini-Split Unit: Uses about 1,200 to 2,000 running watts and around 3,000 to 4,000 surge watts.
So yeah, 10k sounds like a good house generator with a healthy spare capacity, without being ludicrous overkill.

Oh well, at least I have a generator that'll power half the neighborhood if power goes out again.
