Good grief. Instead of all that nonsense just stay in a hotel, say, in Mickey World, for a week.

I bought a 2" to 1-1/4" pipe reducer, a 1-1/4" nipple that the fiberglass insulation sleeve slides over, and a thread-mount pipe hanger and made a crude stand that holds the 2" funnel opening of the free-standing muffler next to but not touching the exhaust outlet. It's almost as effective as pressing the insulation against the muffler and adds no bulk to the generator, plus it works on my other stationary small engines.

In an ice storm or hurricane power outage the nearby hotels that have power are packed with families who need them far more than I do, with the overflow in temporary shelters in schools. Necessities sell out quickly and service/repair people are booked solid for months. Many roads including mine stay blocked until the utility crews remove the wires so the fallen trees can be cut up safely.
The difference from Katrina is that we in New England expect to take care of ourselves and ask FEMA to write checks later. Twice I've spent the week clearing fallen trees with my chainsaw, then patching the holes in the roof before the next storm.

How do you connect it to your Honda generator?

I finally figured out a good way to shower without running water.
Replace the wand on a new garden sprayer (no poison) with a kitchen sink spray hose and fill it with water heated on the wood or Coleman stove. The only part that's mildly difficult is replacing the outlet tube with 3/8" plastic or copper tubing and getting the sealing nut and washer to hold air pressure. I used a 1/8" FPT to push-on 3/8" tubing coupler to connect the spray hose to the tubing, but check the fit in the store
Three gallons of water is enough if you are careful, five should be plenty. It's better to have enough 100F ~ 115F water premixed in buckets than a smaller pot of boiling water to mix with cold in the tank, in case you spill it in the tub while refilling the sprayer.
The hose may be a bit short to shower standing. Rubbermaid step stools make good shower seats that put you low enough to reach the spray head lying on the shower floor.

Backfeeding is illegal here and the local AHD and the POCO are cracking down on it. If they catch you backfeeding, they disconnect at the transformer and will not restore service until an electrical inspection is passed. Basic electrical inspections are $250 and the utility charges an additional $75 reconnect fee. I suspect the electrical inspector could flag any other violations he finds so repair costs could escalate.
Seems to me it would be cheaper (and safer) to put in a proper interlock kit...but that's just me. ;-)

Same thing as a grunt or a gofer. All the tedious, dirty, or labor intensive tasks that no else wants to do.

The subject line is Honda Generators. If the conversation changes, the subject line should change, also. I've demonstrated that, in the past.

This poor fool thinks he owns threads. Yes, Stormin' you have "demonstrated" that thousands of times by breaking half the threads in the group into incomprehensible pieces.
Just one more way the fool uses to screw up anyone being able to follow any evolving conversation. I honestly think it's just so he can see his name at the top of lots and lots of threads. In any case, his social interaction skills are zero so he should be treated as the village idiot.
