In the middle of last week, we smelt gas outside the front door so we called National Grid Gas. In no time, a guy was here and confirmed that there was a leak. Very soon, three other guys were at the house and digging up the pavement outside our front garden. Next day, we were told that the leak was solved – but, for some reason, the hole had to remain unfilled for a few days.
\nOver the weekend, we could still smell gas. So we called again yesterday. Again a guy was round in no time. Again he confirmed a leak. Two more guys were round quickly. This time a new hole was dug just outside our front door and a new gas meter was installed on the wall at the front of the house in the porch area.
\nMeanwhile the gas supply has been cut off and we have been loaned a couple of fan heaters to keep warm and an electric hot plate to cook food. Some more installation work needs to be done before the gas can be reconnected. The front of the house looks a mess and the meter box is pretty obtrusive – but I guess it’s better than being blown up.
\nNow – how about filling those two holes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
