Maybe you think that average person should know that, but I don't think so.

No, I think you guys are too sensitive. I wasn't being sarcastic.
A licensed electrician would know about the interlock (this is not a transfer switch). I was giving a geveral description of how the generator is hooked up, not a detailed "how-to". Hey, all I'm trying to do is give someone the information about the most economical way to get a generator set-up.
And to add, the Fire Marshall's office said that the generator is to be 10 ft from the house. I did not get into details about portable vs fixed and venting, etc, etc. The NEC is also subject too interpretation and despite all their efforts, ambiguity still exists. I also happen to have an NEC code book right on my desk....
