Rip, the 220 was from a big camper we had about 5 years ago.
Turns out entergy showed up last night around 9 with 3 bucket trucks and 2 service trucks and knocked replaced a transformer in my yard in about an hour.
Yeah me, I turned on every spillage in my house in celebration!!! I didn't even mind when they put 2 of those 5 ton rigs across my freshly cut lawn. Heck, I didn't even mind when that got one buried to the axles. I sort of frowned when the brought the second one back in to winch the first out though, but I smiles again when I was able to turn on the porch light to watch the goings on. But, I frowned slightly when the second one buried down again, but again smiles when the third truck could winch the second 2 from the street. Heck I'm so happy I don't even mind that it looks like a tank war broke out in my front yard.
That is, until they left and I put up all my cords and put everything up angus asked me if I has turned the water off. Doh!!!!! The winching was right I've and through my waster meter. Luckily, they cut it on the house side and I was able to cut it off at the meter before the water level got above 4' in my front yard. About the time I got it off a plumber showed up to do the cut off for me. Didn't realize they knew theyd cut it at all. But in the plus side, I should be able to fish the grass after the water settles a bit.
I can't be 100% sure, but I swear it looked like bigblue was driving the second truck and es was driving the first.
The short is, the plumber reconnected me already an as far as I know, he didnt knock a hole in the roof and I don't have worry about the roofer setting the house on fire and the fire department won't have to knock the electricity out to put it out.
So....I'm good
