Backup for power failure

Thats not like an apartment I am familiar with, thats more like a
hotel, if your living quarters is so far from a outside entry door. I
guess I can see your point on that with a lot of lofts or apartments
in the older larger towon instead of the newer ones......thats built
nowadays. Sorry I was zeroed in on the typical sytyles od aprtments
normally encountered around here.

I was not describing my place - I live in a much nicer, brick building
with only 12 units at 3 floors :-) But my buddy lives in an condo
unit which looks like a big hotel with probably 20-30 apartments
on each floor. Even in my place I cannot imagine putting a gas
generator outside on the front yard farting there loud and clear
like a fricken gas mower and running extension cords to my window
on 2nd floor... Generator is not an option for appartments, believe me.
