[RE-wrenches] Xantrex 6048 installation for house with existing automatic generator design assistance

[Christopher Warfel]

No, I monitored it, and verified by looking at the historic

his building in 911 and built this house (I believe) because of wanting 
something that he believed would give him the flexibility for many 
contingencies.
