On advice from ppl in thsi group, I paid the big bucks for a good
generator and got a Yamaha 2000 watt for $989 from Amazon (yeah, I
know a weird place to buy a generator). 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.

Hmmm. What about the hundreds of thousands of boats that have diesel
generators in their bilges?

I always kept my gasoline generator on deck on my 25' Parker, and never
ran it if we were taking a nap in the cabin. Though it was quiet, it
wasn't odor-free...smelled like any other air-cooled gasoline engine
when it was running.
