The issue I use to have here, was whenever the house was built, the people who put in the sidewalk here... They evidently hammered some steel bars or wood into the ground to hold the frame for the sidewalk in place while pouring concrete... When they did such, they nicked the main cable running from the pole into the home, which over the years when it would rain, it would corrode the cable slowly. Finally one day, the cable split and sepearted so much that all of the power in the house went out. I found this probably after digging up the main cable from the pole all the way to the house, which then I found both sides of the cable under the sidewlak on each side had been nicked.
In short, don't be stupid, and also always call to find where cables and lines run in the ground before you dig or even hammer anything into the ground! (I've been through 2 fridges, an AC/heat system, and I can't even remember some of the other things in the 8 years I've lived here)

At this time in my current situation (2 years or so) I really can't afford it.. I had thought about it for a long time. I know in the end it would save you tons of money, and even make some. But I barely get by each month right now, because I'm all about being green and recycling things.

NO SUCH THING AS FREE in the USA...It costs someone about 10 grand when you die here! lol
We're not a 3rd world country yet, but we will be very soon I'm afraid.

Yeah, off topic! I have a friend who is illegal in this country, and had an accident, the ambulance took him to the hospital and when he leaves, he didn't pay any penny... Goverment pays it everything...! (Hospital bill $28,000)
