Baz,
When the greenhouse was being dismantled, her gardening stuff did indeed find its was into my garage. That was not good. I've got too much junk in there of my own.
We have done the same thing with our generator for about 20 years but it was a manual start and although it never failed to start on the first couple of pulls, you needed to be able to pull with authority. My bride of 43 years only weighs about 125 lbs so after hurricane Dorian she started making noises about electric start and the project grew from there.
The nice thing about salvaging the wall was the clapboard siding matches the garage. After cutting down the wall to the proper height I just picked it up with the tractor and set it in place on the anchor bolts.
I buried the conduit for the supply cable from the shed to the house last week so we are now waiting on the electrician.
Best
Les
