[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 541686, member: 2211"] Lisa, we have our own well so when the power is out, we lose our water along with it. Up until last year when H bought a generator, if it was a summer outage, we could skim water from the pool for flushing the toilets and I would boil it on a camp stove for cleaning up. But it is not suitable for drinking. In the winter if we had an outage, we would simply melt snow on the wood stove using the big pots and pans for cleaning and cooking, it was the clean snow, not the yellow! Lol. Thankfully, with last Octobers freak snow storm that devastated our area, that generator was my best friend! The most difficult thing then was finding diesel fuel for it! E was able to get some through his job, but most stations ran out within a day! [/QUOTE]
