On advice from ppl in thsi group, I paid the big bucks for a good

Let us know how loud it is when you get it. We are looking for *a
generator we can run in public, the contractors generator I have now
has got to be 75-80 db and I really don't want to run it in this tight
neighborhood like I did down on the shore where I had a detached barn
to run it in...

Running a generator in an enclosed space is never a good idea.
Regarding CO detectors, it's probably a good investment for any boat.
You can easily be overcome by your neighbors generator in an anchorage
with no wind. * It happens. *We've had a detector for over 10 years
and used to get occasional alarms on our old boat due to "station
wagon" effect when underway in a following wind.
Nope, don't run 'em in an "occupied" enclosed area. I ran it in a
detached barn that was 12 by 22 with one window open but I didn't spend
more than a few seconds in there at a time to start or stop it.
I did get co poison once, working at a site but I noticed as soon as I
started to feel a bit "drunk" and got out. I called my friend who was a
paramedic and he told me to get a lot of air but not to bother going to
the er because it was just a matter of time to get the co out of my
system and the er couldn't really do it any faster since I was not real
bad... I am very careful about it now, that's for sure.
In Canada, though *not* in the United States, if workers are going to be
working in an enclosed space where there is any danger of falling
debris, fume intoxication, et cetera, there has to be a designated
"watcher" who is outside the space but able to keep an eye on the
workers inside it. At least that used to be one of the safety
regulations in Canada. I don't know if it is still in effect, or whether
Canada decided the lives of workers are worth as little as they are in
the USA.

We were under a lot of pressure to conform to US standards...
especially when the GOP was in power.
Seems that the 'merican lobysists kept complaining that our gov't run
healthcare system was an unfair advantage... and our corporate leaders
sometimes thought our higher workplace standards made us uncompetitive.
