We unexpectedly lost power for ~3 days last August during some choice, hot, humid weather. I picked up a 10kW (peak) portable generator (Generac) from CostCo, anchored it to our deck support, and fired it up. Loud (although not too bad inside the house) and it required a top off before work, after work, and maybe before bed but worth it to have slept and lived comfortably (air conditioning!), not have food spoil, and for the wife to not miss a beat working from home.

The other issue was tank size. I believe they only fill the tanks to 80% capacity so we were looking at a 1,000 gallon tank getting buried in our front yard. Then if burying something like that in the yard, you start thinking about running the propane inside for cooking, dryer and water heaters and outside to the BBQ and a pool heater and the project gets very expensive, very quickly. It would be nice to have and if money were no object, I'd probably do it. But, in our case, we didn't want to spend the money.

Sadly (or not) the deck didn't survive the fall, and now we have a brand new one made of synthetics that never needs staining |

My last subdivision was new construction. I made sure to be on the rules committee and do the bulk of the wordsmithing. That certainly prevented some pre-Karenasic period, draconian rules from being drafted. Thankfully, the lawyer for the property management firm was sane as well. I also may have also left some loopholes in some of the rules, too...

Is it a new development with one builder? I think in that situation there may not be a homeowner-managed HOA until the development is done and the project / common areas are titled over to the HOA.

No - it's a land developer handing the HOA over to the new land owners once 85% of the lots are sold - they've sold 18, 1 is under contract, so it's time to hand over. There's only 2 homes on lots completed currently, including the original homestead.
