Oh yeah, on another side note here. Stay out of the neighborhoods in New Orleans. While there we missed our turn for the freeway, so did a turnaround through a neighborhood and didn't notice the high power lines sagging low enough to catch my A/C unit and yanked the power lines from the pole rather then the house. Unfortunately the occupant of the house was an elderly lady on a breathing machine, deaf and couldn't speak, she was not harmed. Police report was written on a torn piece of spiral notepaper, lol. Also, the electric company refused any responsibility because they hadn't any reports of sagging lines. The lineman came out and raised the telephone lines and made sure no more were going to a problem. Last inspection of lines was a year ago then. It was only $150 to reseal and rest the A/C. Being in California, it wasn't worth the fight. Lesson paid.
