Re: Generator Time!!!

Dig a 4x4x4 hole, make a mold, pour concrete with a steel plate embedded inside, with a u-bolt coming out.

Heck you can build the concrete block to be an elevated pad for the generator as well.

Man, you really wimp out

Me, I'd center the generator on the pad and cast three u-bolts on either side of the generator and run two hardened chains through each u-bolt before attaching the chains to the generator.

I'd also cast a conduit into the concrete for a contact switch which leads to a relay and battery-powered sirens - one indoors and one outdoors. Lift the generator (or some sort of cover installed that forces a would-be thief to move it first) and the siren goes off - the relay latches and prevents the sirens from being turned off by depressing the contact switch.
