    You can test for leaks with dish soap over the joins and pipes around the meter, leaks bubble. Some meters I’ve seen with a regulator (grey metal spaceship thing) looks to have a vent. There’s a few houses I walk past that have a gas smell, I reported it ages ago and nothing happened. When I got the meter removed, the steel supply pipe had degraded and was leaking once capped so they needed to dig up the nature strip.

      Looks to be what I’m about to do. I did mention on the phone I have some things I’d like to do, but they just called me back to say that their crew said “no” and will not come out until after 7, but that I’ll be the first job and don’t have to be awake, but that if I’m not and don’t answer the door or phone, I probably won’t find out if there’s anything wrong

      Ah well, I’m getting tired now anyway and have run out of steam. I do want a hot shower tomorrow though
