At my last house I had a switch installed that would allow me to hook my generator right into the house with the circuits on it that I wanted. My problem is that the guy who built my new house brought the electric power into the basement at the closest point to the street, which is on the opposite end of the house from the garage. He later sheetrocked everything to finish off the basement, so in order to install another generator transfer switch I would have to rip out the ceiling sheetrock and pay an arm, a leg, and a firstborn. I know there is a danger of just plugging a generator into any socket of shocking whoever is working on the lines when the power comes back on, is there an easy way for me to hook my generator into a socket and prevent hurting someone downline? What if I turned off the main switch at the box?
