I'm done. Hopefully somebody got some use out of the information I posted.
If it had been one typo on one ad, as you had contended, I would have dropped it. However when theHome Series ad had the generator listed with 220 as well I naturally continued with the same line of questions.

220 was listed TWICE in 2 different ads, that just seemed weird to me. If you can't understand why I still had questions then I don't know what else to say other than you have obvious anger issues.

None of that matters. Have you called a licensed electrician that has experience with generators and transfer switches? Yes or no. Until you do, it is fairly certain that you won't get this done right.

BTW, where in Maine is your house? We all want to make sure we don't live near enough to put our own homes in danger, and some of us may want to come watch the fire fighters.

Signing off.

LOL, that's pretty good.

Not sure why everyone here keeps posting that I am trying to ramrod my idea through despite the dangers. I love all the comments about how I'm going to burn my house down. Once I learned how dangerous my initial plan was I have I have been pretty clear that I had no intention of doing anything that would put us at risk. But since many of you have overlooked that part for some reason let me help you out by re-posting my earlier comments:

In response to DanBev's description of how his home was wired. The "eventually" meant after researching the generator.

So it should be pretty clear that I had no intention burning my house down seeing as I said as much on 5 separate occasions. From the time I learned that my initial plan was dangerous my entire discussion was centered on the fact that the generator I was looking at was listed TWICE as having 220. I never once said I was planning on sticking to my original plan, I was simply trying to get a clarification on the generator's specs. Yet posters here continue to post as if I'm sticking to my original plan and am about to blow up my house by being stupid and stubborn and that is complete nonsense.

To answer your question yesterday I discussed this issue with my neighbor, a licensed electrician. And no I do not live in Maine. Probably just as well, they don't teach reading comprehension very well up there.

I'm not from Maine either, but they seem like nice helpful people. And the "chord" that you get? I'd suggest a G minor.

And yet Maine consistently ranks higher than Maryland in education.

Hey don't hold inter city Baltimore schools against me, they pull down the numbers. But yeah "chord" was pretty lame.

Anyway thanks for the help fellas. It was good to know that my plan was dangerous, I honestly didn't realize obviously.

Love your state, been to Baxter SP, Bar Harbor etc. And what do you know, I'm a lifelong Red Sox fan since '67. Born in Boston, moved near DC when there was no baseball to speak of when I was young.

I had heard that Maine had good schools, but I have no first-hand information about that.

High school basketball sucks, I can tell you that without even looking it up.

I see Bydand isn't even in Maine, damn is anyone here in Maine?
