Um, we have inspectors and bulding codes here, too. The distinction is that my system does *not* "run the house". Individual freezers & fridge get plugged into an extension cord from the woodshed. Most of our electric lighting is swag or other lamps so they can be plugged into the cord as well. It would require an inspector who is both stupid and officiously belligerent to assert a spurious case that such an arrangement violated code covering the installed wiring. Of course, in some (sub?)urban venues, running a gasoline engine on your property might be a violation of something or other. -- Mike Spencer Nova Scotia, Canada
