Weathering the Storm: Lessons in Home Backup Power from a Major Power Outage – HGG618

Update: 2024-08-10

Description

It’s a solo show this week. Last week’s show was canceled due to a 100-hour power outage at theAverageGuy.tv studios. What did I do? What gadgets did we use? How did it go and how did we stay cool? All that and plenty of links in the show notes. Thanks for listening!
