That second one is a lever action ar-15 chambered in .30 carbine. Weird. I wonder who thought that one up.

The first one appears to be a Mateba MTR-8.

This is the [cheapest transfer switch I’ve seen,](www.amazon.com/dp/B000K2CV00) coming in at 1.5 c-notes.
You probably have 220v. service at your house, you probably don’t have three phase unless you run a sawmill or machine shop. You probably can’t only power one level of your house unless it’s wired special.
The transfer switch is pretty idiot proof. your kids could do it. Throwing the switch completely cuts off outside power.
Now the smarts come in and I would need to shut off the electric clothes dryer, electric hot water heater, stove, a/c, and furnace. Pretty much every breaker that’s bonded together. I just don’t have the watts to run anything 220, but having 220 on the generator means I don’t have to build a double-jesus suicide-cord (don’t search-fu that one either) to bond both 110 phases together (or live with only half of the 110 breakers powered up at a time)
To keep the deep-freezer and the refrigerator from both trying to start at once, unplug one or the other (or both to start with.) Use duct-tape and notes to prevent navel-gazing in front of an open fridge. If the freezer stays closed and is reasonably full you really only need to power it for an hour or so a day to keep the ice-cream frozen. In the winter you can move food outside to keep it from spoiling.
Consider heating, water (if on a well pump), cooking (if you have an electric stove). You can of course run all this on a generator, but you may not want to pay full price when you can pull out the camp stove for cooking, string a clothes line, and use the turkey-fryer to heat bathwater and survive for a week or two.
sorry, I can’t recommend a good small diesel generator. No experience with air-cooled diesels. Northerntool.com does stock several small air cooled diesels for landscaping maintenance equipment.
