Thanks Jacquie & Rita .. Picked up Dad at the airport with no problems and was able to go back ways to get back home so it didn't take as long as I had anticipated.

I had forgotten that the greenhouse kit came with tie downs! 4 for each side! Thankfully after building it I put everything left over in a drawer in the garage and found them easily - So the greenhouse is definitely tied down now ... stopped at Lowes on the way to pick up dad and got their last 100 foot of rope that would fit through the eyes of the tie downs .. whether or not it will be enough remains to be seen. The panels in this greenhouse are in grooves at good half inch on each side so I'm hoping we won't get any blow outs.

Got the generator gassed up and it started on the 2nd pull .. my friend who is an electrician is coming over tomorrow morning to fix it so we can run the whole house on it sans the oven, A/C, water heater and hot tub. That will be extra nice since my landline is a cable phone.
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
