: : : available about natural gas plumbing. The gas line in

: About 8 last night we heard a loud bang. I thought is was a tree limb hitting the roof. Pretty soon there was a banging at the door. Next door neighbor's wife comes running in with blood all over her. Her husband had just tried to light a propane log insert (that he had plumbed earlier in the day) and it blew out the glass front into his face. Called 911 and went over there - looked like he had been hit with a shotgun to the face - blood just everywhere all over the floor, walls, ceiling - really amazing. They airlifted him off (we live on an island)- guess we will know today if he can see...

: Yesterday morning - my answer would have been different - this AM - I agree - gas is not something to learn on. Hill

I agree. There's a reason you can't buy alot of the material used in gas piping at your local hardware store. It's best left to the professionals. Up in Ontario, Union Gas is just settling over a house that blew up because of a missed drip leg. The drip was only hand tight. Over a million dollars damage and some very irate neighbours. 'nuff sed.
