ah yes, the generator idea.

i've heard it suggested a number of times, but never before by anyone who actually has experience with generators. im curious to know how cost effective they are, and what size generator you would need based on different amounts of draw... for instance, how much would a generator that could run 1000 watts cost vs. one that could run 10 000? also, what kind of decibels do these pump out? finally, how exactly do you hook a generator into your home/shed/garage electrical wiring to supply power? does it require some kind of specialized inlets/connectors or can anyone do it?
