I connected our little generator to the house via the 110 outlets with the guidance of my elctrician neighbor and it worked well but we were very careful with what we tried to use. I figure in a few weeks there will be a large supply of used generators on the market but not sure I want to touch just any used one.
What part of town are you in?

Sugar-Land/Harris County. 8-12KW should be enough.
Mind you a lot of used Gen sets will be almost brand new as people only used for them for max of 3 weeks. Do your home work and you might get one at a bargain.
Do you guys have power yet? How bad is it over there?
Good luck with the recovery.
