    Meh, not something I’m overly proud of. :rolleyes: The cost of living here is getting out of hand and the population is insane.
    My rural living is quickly becoming scarce!

    Daaaamn. Hardest thing I did was write a program in Excel that took 2 separate documents and compared Names from a master list to a date column searching for dues and overdues. Since the lists and documents could be of any amount of columns and any amount of rows, it was a giant cluster f*ck. The screen would flicker and look like the screen locked up, while it did the comparison. It produced results but not very efficiently and I have since lost the source code so there's no way I can reproduce it. To top it off, the product that I was comparing to changed its output which broke the algorithm so it'd be square one again, not doing that again.

    Since you're answering electrical/generator questions; I lost power Monday from the winter storms here and borrowed a small generator from my dad. He bought 2 Wen 2350 watt generators mostly for hurricane season. I used it to run a space heater, refrigerator, and some lights and a heating pad for my pet snake. My dad then mentioned that I should be able to power the blower on my furnace and use the central heat since the furnace runs on gas, but even if that was the only thing plugged in to the generator it would only run for about 5 minutes before turning off again. Do you think the blower just requires too much juice for the small generator to run it?

    I'm planning on buying one myself soon and I'd like to get one that can run the furnace fan in case of future cold weather events. Thanks in advance.
