      18/ so ONE bus bar in my breaker box is now energized. Good news, that's the one that feeds the outdoor boiler. The boiler turns on and starts blowing air. ...but no hot water is moving from boiler to house. Why? Investigate.

      19/ ...ah! The pump that moves hot water is on the "B" bus bar. And so are half the pumps that move hot water around inside the house (other half are on "A"). So I need to energize both A and B bus bars. GAH

      22/ ...so now both A and B busbars are energized at 110V vs ground (as they should be) but are 0° out of phase (and not 180° out of phase, as they should be). I plug this in, start the generator ...and heat and lights come back on.
