One of the things we had wanted to modify was the way we exhaust fumes. The generator is under a roofed deck and there is a concrete floor, and there are plank doors to be opened but during a wind storm or blizzard it's a problem. The overhead eaves are mostly open to keep a convection current going, but we knew the carbon monoxide in particular was hanging just over the floor and needed some encouragement to leave. With leftover sheet metal and conduit from other projects David created this system, complete with a barn exhaust fan that plugs into the generator. It's worked a charm, though we are cautious and check the generator every little while for safety's sake and never leave it running overnight.
It keeps the well running, and the furnace including hot water and it's wired to a house panel that also operates the kitchen and our electronics. So we have not lost food or donw t=without heat nd water since we bought it. David impressed me with this open fume system and nearly all of it is made from leftover bits he had been hoarding, even the fan and metal tape.
