It should be here in a couple of days but the reviews were all very 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. US unions have 4-5 "watchers" for every worker on the jobs I've seen even if they are digging a hole in the ground. Yeah, it's the one job classification that is not protected by contract either.. Anybody in a union can be a designated watcher without fear of being sanctioned by the union, accused of taking someones job;) -- Team Rowdy Mouse, Banned from the Mall for life! |

I remember a bathroom heater my great aunt had when I was about 4 or maybe 5. It had coils on it that looked like the electric coils inside a toaster oven. If I remember correctly, she only used it during the winter and then only when she was taking a shower. She would hit the on/off button before she got in the shower, by the time she got out it was nice and toasty. Those were some good memories. Good memories? Your great aunt in the shower? |
