No, but you seem to be.

You obviously havent listened to the construction involved. You've got a
mind set on the idea that this is an enclosed attached garage to the house
with open airflow into the house. It's not. I never said it was either.
You *assumed* too much and didnt listen.

If it had airflow to the house, I wouldnt have the heating problem in
winter.

I'd not be too concerned. Doing this after being warned of the risk
serves to improve the gene pool.

What are the reasons? He has the main off. I am just curious because I
thought it sounded pretty good and you said for a number of reasons but
didn't give any.

For one thing, the life and safety of the linemen working to restore the
power shouldn't be dependent on someone remembering the proper order of when
to turn on and off a main disconnect, or some kid or other family member
flipping it on accidentally
