It is now ready for the new generator which will be used in the case of power failure. We will probably fuel it with propane and replace our electric range with a propane unit to make us independent of power interruptions. The generator will have its exhaust piped to the outside and forced air ventilation will be used to cool the unit and provide air supply.
The fun never stops.

That sounds like a very practical application, Les. Good on ya! My generator sits in my garage taking up space. It's never used except during hurricane season and even then sometimes years go by between uses. I think I would like a set up like yours. Put it in an adjacent structure that also houses some of my gardening items, which also take up space in my garage - and elsewhere.
