I figured if he'd get soaked in his process, it seemed more legit. He went straight to the gas meter and was fooling around with some hand-held gadget.

That the meter may have to be moved...</div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">That didn't make a lot of sense, since Atmos replaced the meter a few years ago. Anyway, I told him I wasn't going to spend a minute of time on the project, nor a cent of money, but to do whatever he needed to do. </div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false"><br></div><div dir="ltr" data-setdir="false">BTW, he didn't pull his truck into my driveway, but left it in the alley.
