Honestly, I feel chances are if someone has to go online to figure out how to connect a generator to the house wiring, they don't know enough to do it to code. The new article should just read "Call an electrician."

A lot of people turn to the net with good intentions to learn how to do stuff, but electricity isn't for the weekend warrior. They don't have enough knowledge of code, and more importantly, they don't have the experience to know what could go wrong and plan around it.

When I put a generator in my old house, I made sure to do stuff like torque the lugs properly, deal with box and conduit fill, and bending EMT. Most people who read the article probably wouldn't know the difference between the black wire and white wire.

Although the new version does look tons better than the old version. Kudos to yaktx!
