Power

In the course of building the greenhouse, we've been talking to the electrician about a backup generator. It wouldn't be funny freezing or roasting 350 orchids when the power went out.

So today the power goes out for about twenty minutes. A reminder.

Generator prices have dropped dramatically over the last few years, in part because companies are now making consumer-grade units in addition to their commercial units. The last time I looked at a 10kw generator, it was about $12,000 installed. Now you're looking at maybe $4,000 installed. That's more like it.
