In a power outage, my generator will sit next to the outdoor breaker box that is wired to take it. I have a three-sided plywood enclosure that will go over it for rain/snow protection, and also as a sound buffer, because it's a loud SOB.
For the Winter, I started parking my tractor in the shop, but I just realized I need to back it in, because the exhaust blows out the front, so in very cold weather, where I'm high idling it for 5-10 minutes till it warms up, it's blowing exhaust directly into the shop even though the rollup door is open.
