The point being, Unless you know exactly whats in at and whats been done it needs to be checked. Too many times have I come across an oddity because someone played Frankenstein.

Picture is worth 1000 words, (on windows 10 thats 64 kb(sorry early morning nerd humor)) I wired up a 200 amp generac panel for my 004, but all my controls are custom.

Grounding in my opinion, is a subject that could be better covered. Over here residential grounding is 1 rod 25 ohms or less, or 2 rods both need a minimum of 8 feet of soil contact. So you could have a very high resistance ground and still be up to code. One of my old coworkers used to...

one can never have too many generators.

yes, the problem is more common when 1 people run them in a garage because other people steal them/weather damage, 2 the sometimes weeks of no power (curses duke energy) and your neighbor has a window open (less heat despite the tropical serenade of generators running) and fumes get drafted in...
