"Uh, I smell gas."

The landscape contractor and I were wandering around talking about where various walls were going to go when we found ourselves standing near the gas meter.

 

"Uh, I smell gas." Which bugged me since the gas company had just installed this meter a few months ago. So I called them. I emphasized that the leak was outside, but they were undeterred. The service guy was there in about 1/2 hour! I was amazed at the response time. The only people who respond faster are the Fire Department (we've had to call twice). The only interruption to the landscaping work was that they couldn't use machinery (the Wacker Packer you saw previously) in this area until he had made the repair. Which he did in about an hour.

 

After he was finished, I looked at it and realized..."hmmm, pipes AND a wall!"
