I was happily working away yesterday (ok not so happily as the work was annoying) when a gas company contractor knocked on my door. He'd detected a leak on my side of the gas meter in the alley behind my house. What's next I ask? He has to shut off the gas and call the gas company for them to come out and look at it some more. Gas company guy says yep there's a tiny leak but he can't locate exactly where it's coming from. Doesn't matter: Gas stays off until I get the line fixed.
So I've called some plumbers to come over and estimate how much $$$ this will cost. The first estimate is from the gas company themselves: $1145 to relocate the meter next to my house, run a new line and tie it in to my home. Ouch. Although, they can split the cost into 12 payments and add it to my monthly bill, interest free. That's rather nice.
There are a couple of advantages to having the meter at my house, but we'll see what the plumbers say.
Not that I was gonna use that money for anything else, like buying groceries and stuff.
