Five Year Plan, Part 1

I’ve been working on my 1 Year Plan (Part One, Part Two), 5 Year Plan, and 10 year plan lately. Although I’m not finished posting my 1 Year Plan, I wanted to start sharing my 5 Year Plan.

In no longer than 5 years, I want to purchase and install a backup generator for my house. In case I lose power for any reason, I want a backup generator so that I can keep doing what I do. I want to be able to keep the house cool or warm, and I want to be able to work on the computers. I want my fish tank to keep running without the filter stopping and the fish dying.

Setting goals for 1 year, 5 year, and 10 year plans are difficult. I’ve been thinking hard about what I want to accomplish in my life, and it’s no easy task (thinking hurts, you know).

Do you have experience with backup generators in your home? What kind have you used? Propane, natural gas, or diesel ran? What kind of maintenance did you have to do for it?
