I'm sure you'll want to tell me I'm wrong now.
Well, I hope you're wrong. I haven't heard of anyone being sued for posting instructions on how to do something on the internet, but I've been wrong before. I hope not anyway, otherwise we are all in danger of a law suit by giving any sort of advice here.
BTW I took great pains to make the instructions as safe as possible, and I actually didn't think of this idea first, I got most of it from an old retired Navy diving instructor. Is he liable also? Until recently he was still teaching scuba diving. Would he be liable if one of his students was killed scuba diving later after completing his course? I'll probably see him later today and ask him.
Well, I'll think about some more. What a sorry world we live in, if one can so easily get in trouble for trying to help,

My nieghbor, who's a retired electrician has an extension cord hooked up to a sub panel in his garage looks a little hokey but I guess it works. Me and another nieghbor went over and dug his car out, helped him start his generator, i had to wade through waist deep snow from the street to the side of his house to shut off his main. He's disabled and on oxygen. he left for warmer climates until this latest storm blows over.
