Money saved is always a good angle as most of these clowns are into that . If you can put up some type of genset long enough to get data that will save money none of the covenants really apply at least to logical on lookers . As far as government goes screw em put it up make them tell you what's wrong with the install . If all national codes are met alot of times your good to go. You can use a structure or out building to build your genset around .Slide that through the approval process and carry on . If your waiting for the walls to come down take a number . Put it up and let em bitch . The oposition will boil down to a small groupe that likes money more than trouble .
