Templeton farm in east Montpelier sells these. You can probably call for a special order but they usually have some frozen and ready to sell in their store.

Thanks. We will also look into this. Sounds like it might be the easiest solution. Will keep on researching!

We know about the water in the toilet trick and we usually fill our tub with water before a storm. We also have a stream that runs through our property. Just concerned about our pump tank backing up because it won't be able to empty without power. We will contact the company that pumps our septic and ask what the capacity is when we don't have electricity.

We're in Washington County. Pooping outside in the snow was rough and we would prefer to poop inside :)

It's incredible. No outages and we have tons of trees. We will eventually have fiber in our area so we will probably switch to that. Works better and fewer outaages than Comcast when we lived in Montpelier.

Thanks. And sigh, we already have starlink for internet. No need to purchase additional Elon products haha

We heat our water with a large Buderus boiler. This also heats our house since we have radiant floors. I am sure it takes a lot of power, so I'm grateful for the wood stove! Thank you for the feedback.

Yes we are on a well and we have a mound septic system. We need electricity to run the pump chamber so it won't back-up. But this is all fairly new to me so I might be wrong. Lived in Montpelier before this and always had municipal plumbing.

Whoops sorry for the mistake. Clearly I'm new at this and still learning a lot. Appreciate the feedback. I agree that installing propane tanks just for a generator will be a pain. Would be great if the back-up battery solution worked for this reason.

Our home is 3 bed 2 bath and approximately 2400 sq ft. Built in 2006 so it's newer and fairly energy efficient. What type of back-up battery do you have?

We understand it will be expensive and have prepared financially for the cost. Bare minimum requirements would probably be heat, water and septic. We can live without the rest.
