IMG 4632 Tools have arrived. The succulent got carefully dug out with the shovel as if it were to be replaced later, but it was never seen again. IMG 4633 The "before" picture. IMG 4634 Really hoping they don't have to dig across the yard. IMG 4635 A man in the bush. IMG 4637 That's a bit more digging around the meter than I expected. IMG 4638 None shall pass.
IMG 4639 It's a deep hole, innit. IMG 4640 IMG 4641 Carefully. IMG 4642 IMG 4643 The new terminating end. IMG 4644
IMG 4645 The old line. IMG 4646 New line over there. IMG 4647 Just gonna leave this here. IMG 4648 Still not sure what we are in for, but we are getting close. IMG 4649 It turns out they can easily pull the line through. IMG 4650 A whole block of chaos.
IMG 4651 IMG 4652 IMG 4653 IMG 4654 IMG 4655 Soon to be gone. IMG 4656
IMG 4659 And now we have the "plumbing" that required the extra permit. IMG 4660 Also requires me sitting in the garage for an hour making sure nothing happens while the door is wide open. IMG 4662 Big wrenches. IMG 4663 Roughing in the new meter. IMG 4664 Level. IMG 4665 Filling the hole back in. Much less drama than expected.
IMG 4667 The petunia is missing. IMG 4670 PG&E guy comes for the final assembly and to turn the gas on. IMG 4671 In the green bin! Bums. IMG 4674 This shows the stove works and also vents most of the air that got into the gas line. IMG 4675 Replant. IMG 4676 The ivy sort of got a comb over. Looks OK now but lots of roots got cut so who knows.
