I can understand you having one. Those pull things are sometimes really hard. But reading this made me think back.......
One year, we had some severe storms that took out many trees, telephone poles, roofs etc.... We were without power for about 4 or 5 days, hot, humid and steamy out. My neighbor was worried about my fish (so was I) and he had a generator he was using, he brought it over to us and hooked up my pond. His house was hot and so was ours, so we hung out on my deck for hours watching the fish and the light he had hooked up to the generator. It really helped the fish, and us pass the time. After the first night, I used my brain hmmm, if I can hook up a light and a pump at the same time I can hook up a fan and the pump. So, I would set a fan in a window and draw air through the house...my parents kept my kids during that time, because one has lung problems and really needed to be in the AC. I used my cell phone as an alarm clock for dh to go to work. My parents wanted us to stay there, but I didn't want to leave my house unattended.
