Rodent Proofing a Generator

So, living in the boonies means that the grid may be down for weeks of the year. You must have generator backup. The recent storm in Stonyford had power out for several days. I fired up my expensive Honda generator and it did not work. Had to go to the backup.

Took me a few days to figure out that the Honda had been invaded by rodents. Nests built inside and wires chewed. Took me the better part of a day to bring it back on line. So, I conceived of a rodent proof structure for the Honda.
