Wow Ken, that is exactly the kind of info I needed to buy the outdoor cable. Very through and informative. Thanks!
Regarding exhausting the generator over the roof, I researched venting furnaces and chimneys and came up with this:
"Minimum chimney height above the roof – The top of a chimney should be high enough to be above the air turbulence caused when wind blows against the house and its roof. The chimney must extend at least 1 m (3 ft.) above the highest point of contact with the roof, and at least 60 cm (2 ft.) higher than any roof line or obstacle within a horizontal distance of 3 m (10 ft.)."
So if I follow this guideline for my generator exhaust height above the roof, it should be safe for exhausting the carbon monoxide.
