The Dig

This was the scene outside our house Wednesday night. We've been smelling natural gas out front of our garage lately and it's been stronger the last couple of days. We decided to chat with our neighbors about it since it seemed to be coming from their vicinity. They agreed on calling the gas company so I did. They promptly came out and tested the neighbors meter, leaking. The gas guy went inside the neighbors house, gas was detected. The poked holes in the yard and tested...leaks. So... the neighbors will be receiving a new gas meter and their yard has been dug up from the meter to the street. What excitement.

At one point there were 5 gas trucks out front and a backhoe.

Sorry about the lousy photo.
