I keep a couple of ceramic space heaters around for bumping up the house load, if need be...

Ja! Alle Dinge sind regelmäßig!

Most new panels do the every other breaker up/down version, as it enables the wiring of wiring 240V circuits with a pair of breakers tied together. I have seen old panels that did left right, but then you had less than desirable outcomes like a fuse blowing on one of the two hots, but not the...

True, but... This convention has never been my favorite. Many countries, e.g. the British, have single phase 240V (220-240V, one hot, one grounded conductor). In the US, we have two 120 hots, equally out of phase with each other (180 degrees out of phase), yet we call that "single phase"...

That looks like a win. I am not sure that I would let perfection triumph over good enough. If it works, it is safe, doesn't rattle the glasses, and your spouse is happy...

Those cuts are kerf cuts and allow the hard maple to bend to accommodate any irregularities in the floor. It helps keep them from splitting. All the best, 2Pbfeet

Love the "first rule of troubleshooting"! Great news! When your extra pads get there, I would try some rubber under the bolt, but above the rail. It should help the absorption, but it will also reduce the forces trying to unscrew your bolt. More padding is not necessarily better. That is why...

One of the things that I have fought in the past is that sometimes the best way is right next to the device; with any distance, you start to get sound reflecting off of the sound deadening material if the material doesn't have a layer of an absorber, like rock wool in between. At some point...

Your poor wife. The sound and vibration must be extra tough for her. My baseline is that these gensets are generally pretty smooth and vibration free, so I suspect it is something about the mounting or location that is giving you issues. I would start with getting the generator bolted to...

I can't imagine living that close to a cathedral. What an experience! Do you have a name for the gizmo? I have seen them on large generators, but I have never bought or used one myself.

+ 1 on @Digger556's comments above. If you get more pads, and put one, or part of one, with a large washer on top of it over the bolt and then bolt it down, you should get a lot more damping action out of the pads. Letting the generator bounce is not optimal...

Bummer about the vibrations. It sounds like the generator is using the concrete pad as tamper. what kind of soil do you have? If the soil compacts it may get a little better. Dumb question, but is the vbration in the kitchen from the soil, or through the air? My '803 puts out a pretty...
