Another plus for inverter generators is they're nowhere near as noisy as conventional generators. And don't forget, depending how close the machine is to any windows or doors a Carbon Monoxide detector might be a good investment too.

ok i found two possible candidates, both "hybrid" types running on propane/butane or gasoline.
Planned to hook it up to the house's fuse box. You have a switch for "island mode", cutting the house energy/fuse box from the grid/net support, then starting the generator and provide the energy from it alone. 1. type: can support the whole house with up to 8000 watts, meaning you could use the oven for cooking, washing machine, fridge, heating a.s.o. at a time without problem. In Germany you need 380 volts for the oven/stove, which the generator also provides (able to generate 230 and 400 Volts simultaneously, several plugs). But: no clean sinus signal, so you may destroy your laptop or mobile when trying to charge it with this thing. No problem for an electric drill, washing machine, a.s.o. but not suited for delicate electronic devices. 2. type: Also is a 8000 watts generator with inverter technology, providing 230 volts and being less fuel-greedy. But no 380 volts, so no oven/stove. The advantage of the inverter is less noisy, less consumption, and a clean sinus signal needed to charge laptop, mobile and so on. I hate it

Depends a lot on a. how often your power goes out and b. how long the outages last. I can get by with a hotplate for a few days, easy. My stove/oven is gas, so that's not a problem, but if I had to, a camp stove would be fine, if the outages did not last more than a week. I agree with you about the grid lockout switch, smart.

Made some progress: Took down the cabinet/enclosure, disassembled it.
Got the heavy load shelf placed, leveled and confirmed the car's position. I've got a foot or two of margin, that's fine. finished the framing, I think I will have a cabinet for my compressor, too, will help cut down on the noise (a little). Test fit some of my totes, good fit. This shelf is supported by the floor so heavy objects can go here.

^ let me know when you have it finished, Neal. I have some motorcycles, engines and the odd assortment of parts tucked away in big, nice plastic trunk / containers.
I need a place to store them On the other hand, my lady told me if I drag anymore motorcycles or parts home, I will be living under the deck with the groundhogs, bunnies and other assorted wild life. So, I might need a place to live before it's all over. |

Hey, I'm building this to decrease the clutter, not add to it
More progress, added the work top, some shelves, pegboard and a good LED light. First time installing a piano hinge, got a door cut and hung for the compressor section.

That ain't nothing with the saw, we got a guy up here in the mountains that can get guitar, fiddle, banger, drums and bass songs out of his saw,

Don't forget some thick steel and a gun port in the bottom section of your garage door so you can hold off the barbarian horde if need be from the prone position.

Yeah, it's so hot outside, I'm taking the day off
Next step: repair and paint the wall, mount the light shelf, and then add the wall pegboard.

Maximizing space and storage is a must in any garage. But no matter what your final build looks like there is always room to improve. Trust me here, two Buicks and garden implements/tools take up some room!

Here's another thing that would be really nice in the garage. I think it would work for changing oil too.

If you have the time check to see if you have a ‘rolling code’ remote garage door opener. The older ones that have pot switches can easily be defeated and next thing ya know all your beer is missing.
