Hi,
having tidied my garage I felt it time to sort out the exhaust from the
generator, up until now it has been on a length of 2" dia steel gas pipe
pointing out through a window!

I'm having some pipe made up to feed through a wall and mounting the
silencer on the outside. All good so far, I hope, but I'm not sure how
to seal the hole in the wall. I would rather not leave a gap around it
as there is a possibility of rain running down the outside of the pipe
and into the wall and garage but what do I seal it with and is it a good
move to do so?

Buy a Carbon Monoxide detector, or even better build a bunker outside
for the generator and fetch the wiring through the wall.

Good point.
Bunker is a nice idea but as it is already bolted down and wired in it's
a bit late! The only things left to do are fit the exhaust and build a
small bund around it so the garage doesn't get flooded if there's a
leak.

The exhaust is being fabricated and should be sorted by the weekend.

Only hiccup with the plan is I just had an eye op' and have been told
not to lift anything heavy for 4 weeks, I think that probably includes
oil tanks and exhausts!

Previous advice is taken on board and I'll report back on how it goes.
