I wish I had this place setup like that, these last three years have been ridiculous!
It's easy to do but, you probably know that. Another thing to look at is a simple transfer switch. Lowe's and the Homely Despot carry one by Reliance that is very simple to install and meet the electrical code almost everywhere. Only problem with it is your limited to only six or 10 circuits. You probably wouldn't need more than that anyway, depending on what size generator your using. Also consider switching all your lights to LED. I switched my entire first floor of the Virginia house to LED and the total wattage consumed went down below what I would use powering two regular 100 watt bulbs. Eases the load in the generator considerably and saves on the light bill to. My light bill went down by almost $40 a month. The cost of LED bulbs is going down all the time. GE has a 3 pack of what they call "light sticks" for $9.97 at the Homely Despot and they work great, nice and bright, just can't be dimmed.

It really comes down to what's cost effective. If you need a backup generator often, some sort of lock-out or transfer switch - or even a whole house generator pack - might be worth it. If it's just occasional use and you can get by with just a few lights and a couple space heaters, then extension cords from a portable might be fine.

...... GE has a 3 pack of what they call "light sticks" for $9.97 at the Homely Despot and they work great, nice and bright, just can't be dimmed.

We've been slowly replacing all our bulbs with LEDs.

Over the holidays, my wife bought a 2-pack of GE LEDs at wallyworld. Only problem was they were the "wrong" color temperature. The package said "daylight" and the little scale on the back -claimed- they were 5000 Kelvin, but I know better! Them suckers were so blue, I couldn't take it - they had to be ~6000 K if anything... and I want my house lights to be warm and "yellowish". Sent my daughter back to get the "soft white" (she bought the "Great Value" wally-brand) and the package says they are 2700 K... MUCH better.

Rip them to the highest bit rate your software allows. Bigger files, but better sound. And the vinyls, depending on what they are and their condition, may be worth some $$.
I'm not the least bit interested in trying to make anything off them. If the purchase price pays for shipping... sold! There was a time when the Japanese were paying premium prices for vinyl records, but I can't remember why that price is no longer being paid.

Myeh. Software allows .wav but since that's about 10x the size of .mp3, the difference in quality isn't worth the difference in file size as far as I'm concerned.

When you get ready to divest yourself of those of vinyls, let me know. I'll pay shipping on 'em.
