Think my generator mistake burned out the controller on my furnace. Power may be far away I heard wareham where mj lives is 90% without power. Hope he and cb are ok.

Very glad I have a wood stove.

All we got was a ton of rain but I'm using my smart (what a laugh) phone to connect my lap top to the internet because ours went down.

rkc, when these hit , do you still have natural gas? i am looking at converting my generator to nat gas. during hurricanes, 95% of the time, nat gas is uninterupted. this would eliminate the need to go get fuel(at crisis prices) and the need to refuel during operation. also cut out the ethanol issues with a gen i only run during a storm.

just wondering..

Got about 28"-30" of snow here at my house. We had wind gusts of up to 70 mph during the height of the storm. Lots of power lines down. My power was restored last night at about 7:30. MJ still has no power at his house in Wareham but he realized that the trailer park where he bought the mobile home does have power. So he packed up some essentials and his two critters and was headed over there last I talked to him. Probably no internet access for him there though as he hasn't set that up yet.

got pics of the boat... his idea of buried and mine were WAY off.... it has 3 foot drifts all around it and a foot on top with grass showing under it.... canvas looks ok.

Well I measured the snow And I am guessing 20" at my house, wind in the 60'sandcold as hell!! The snow blower did ok on the top stuff but on the coast we got about 3" of slush first and that wasn't getting to cleared as it froze!
The power went out at 7:30 Friday and is still out and doesn't look good for a few n\more days, there was a Nstart guy sayind the power trucks were all parked cause they running out of gas an d no were to get any with the power out and stations near by out of gas!
I know someone here at thepark and they said the power went out fri also but was back on oday, so I took the cat & Dog nd here we are at the new place. My daughtrt is visting me this week and boared, so we looked on the lap top for a signil and found one 2 doors up so she took the dog for a walk and knocked on there door, said We are new and my dad is going nuts not being able to get on the internet, is it possible we could have your password and use your signal for a few days? Well they said yes and here I am!
The Tahoe did awsome in the snow, my daughter went out to shovel me out, I came and said get out the way after I went thur wasit deep snow to get in the truck, I put 4 low and drove right out, never spun a tire! My daughter was why am I diging?? I said I don't know I never asked you to LOL

Ok as you can see I have been going nuts and had to share! Later

RKC, I'd almost bet that it didn't. A tripped breaker stops all power from flowing, so if no power was flowing then it's impossible to burn out anything.

BUT

If you had a tripped breaker on your generator, and your furnice has a burned out controller, then it IS possible that your controller burned out and tripped the breaker of your generator.

So, in summary, it's possible your controller burned and tripped the breaker, but not possible that your generator burned out the controller.

Well I swapped the controller and the furnace fired right up. Still no street power so I will just be careful on not running other high wattage devices at the same time. Really glad I could fix it myself.
