Hi,



Is that a euphemism for something? A double-entrende? :LOL:

Existing gas service comes in below grade in the front of the home, from a tee on a main across the street in the neighbors yard ( easement). It's a copper service, converted from bare steel some time in the 80s which is now "Leaky".

So the only place I can put an outside gas riser ( which has to happen) is in the back of the house. So I dig up the main and kill the service at the tee, coat the tee with primer and mastic, drop an EM marker on it and backfill. Then dig a new tee hole on the other side of the neighbor's driveway, hand dig a 24" deep trench from the middle of the back of the house to the right corner ( approximately 12') and shoot from the tee hole across the street to the back corner with a directional bore rig and pull in a 111' new plastic 1" gas service. Install a new tee and an EFV ( excess flow valve) and bolt an outside riser to the back wall. Then drill a hole through the foundation and hard pipe from the now outside riser/meter set, up the wall, into the basement and pipe it into the existing fuel run. I also had to dig a slot across the water main in the front yard 24" deep so we could make certain not to hit the water main. Back fill all the holes ( I saved all the sod, with the precision of a surgeon) and now you can barely tell I was there.

Got to the job about at 8 AM and had it finished by about 2PM.

people like you built this country Bass. Hard work and complicated. Well done.

Hey!

Here's something @Bassbob might appreciate. So, I'm watching "The Accountant 2". They are sitting on the roof of the Airstream and Braxton says to Chris, "Let's go get drunk." They end up at The Cowboy Palace. That's a real place. I've played there. I know the band that's in the movie, Brad Johnson and Killin' Time. The bass player is a friend of mine, Luke James. Wow. Good times. Good memories.


Thank you for your indulgence,

Yes, I am also impressed. I hope the customer appreciates your hard work and expertise, and the fact that you care. Very nice.

I didn't mean to make lite of your procedures and protocols. Thanks for explaining the technical aspect, and the physical aspect. A job like that would kill me. :p

I know you didn't Cliffy. It was pretty funny, your joke. I just got sidetracked. :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO:
 
Hi,

Cheers to everyone. Today I'll be getting the house straightened up before Mrs. BassCliff's return tomorrow, just the dishes and kitchen floor for the most part. I don't make a big mess and I'm pretty good at picking up after myself. ;)

I have a few tunes to go over before worship team rehearsal this evening. Maybe I'll do some of my laundry if I get bored. 🤔 Of course, I'll keep you all in my prayers constantly. Enjoy your blessings.


Thank you for your indulgence,
