For things that are "hmmm".

Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

Also be warned that you must plug in any generator as close to the breaker box as possible. Outlets and their wiring far away may be underdimensioned for powering anything significant further away. Also be warned that everything you're powering together must be limited by the dimensions of the one outlet you're using. The wires don't know any difference between AC in or AC out. For example it's max 10A? Then that's your limit for everything combined.

Knowing what I know about this house, I don't think i'd ever trust the wiring enough to try something like this.
