I may be wrong (at my age it is not unusual, just ask my wife) but I think a bunch of houses like that were built for military housing and one of these "crawlspace plenums" killed some folks when an exterminator treated the crawl for termites. But not sure about the placement of the furnace.
The switch costs vary. https://www.google.com/#q=automatic+changeover+switch The electrician also varies but in CT the cost would be about $600 including the switch, depending on the length of run from the gen to the panel.
For the aggravation and cost of a flooded basement a small automatic backup generator would make a lot of sense. https://www.nationwidegenerators.com/ge ... hgoddNoG0A
Well, yeah, but his whole downstairs is covered by the house obviously... and is concreted only a garage , kinda like the neighbor in the photo but more open. I mean, you've got to take that into account, right? I fully agree, despite the Weather.
My split was built in 66. The front foundation has the original sleeve for the water line but it was discovered last minute that there was no where else to put the septic except where the water line was designed to go. The line was diverted to the side of my split and comes under the footing at that point. It travels under the slab of the family room and emerges in the basement. I keep "listening for leaks" but so far so good. I am not looking forward to having to replace this line in my lifetime.
