A few years ago when things were starting to look bad, I asked Hubs for a manual well-pump. I asked him to figure out what size we needed so I could carry buckets of water to the house so I could make the espresso. Instead, he got a Diesel generator and a shit ton of Diesel fuel so I could run the whole house if needed. And, wired the panel inside the house to connect to the generator outside.♥♥

Though my husband makes me crazy,most of the time,he did something simalar for me…I asked for a hand pump for the well,too. He installed one. Then,he built an entire sprinkler system for on,and around the house, connected to the pool ,connected to a generator to pump water from pool,AND,installed Tesla batteries that run the whole house ( except AC and microwave) including 2 refrigerators and barn,when the very often power outages or California fires,hit…!!

I appreciate being reminded of those good things, as he’s totally awful at actual “gift buying “….

Oh my….he went above and beyond for sure. Yes, my sister lives in Shingletown, and I am from Red Bluff, so Cal fires are familiar. Unfortunately.

Indeed. And, I’m incredibly grateful when the power goes out,we don’t even notice till neighbors come over Asking why our lights are on! And,I know , left to me,none of that would have happened…
