possible take-away:
A generator is less of a noise attractant, when the temperature is below freezing.
Everyone is inside with their windows closed?
I doubt that would make much difference if it had gone on much longer. But maybe it was a good thing that my older, small one didn’t start at once. It is actually alot louder than my bigger Champion.
A soundproof generator house? They would still see your lights.
No doubt after a day or three more, me and a couple of folks would have had to come to some kind of agreement about how to do things and protect our collective ass(ets)!
