Good Snowy Monday, again

Happy Back Hoe Monday Everyone

We had a gas leak yesterday that pretty much filled the house. I was down in the Pool House & The Bitch & my step-daughter were out. When they got home, I came up to the house & we all smelled that lovely rotten egg scent that they put in natural gas. So we grabbed the animals, opened a lot of windows, shut off the furnace, went to the Pool House & called the contractor & the heating guy.

When they got here they fiddled with the furnace a bit (it's fine), the put soapy water on the pipe connections (they were fine) and we scratched our heads as to where the fuck the gas was coming from. Then the hearing guy took a whiff near the conduit that's used to run the electricity to the garage & there it was.

We assume there is a leak outside underground (probably under my fucking cement patio) & the gas was seeping thru the conduit as well as the seam where the new addition is in the basement. Once the gas to the Pool House was turned off, the smell pretty much went away (but you can still smell it if you put your nose next to the wall where the new addition meets the existing basement)

So now my Pool House has no heat, which is not good because the pipes down there seem to freeze up every other year (even if the water is turned off) The coldness is also not good for the plasma TV, so there's an electrical heater sitting next to it keeping it nice & toasty.

So, sometime around noon, the back hoe guy will be here digging a large hole in my backyard for the 5th time in 6.5 years
