I recently had a scare when the gas company left a note on my door explaining they would need access to my house...namely the basement dundundun

Luckily I was able to secure the plants in an alternate location long enough to allow them in, they changed all the lines to the house, and they left. Thanks to the Gov. stimulus package the city could afford to change the lines of every house down both sides of my street.

When I first saw the workers milling around on my street, honestly I thought they were cops. If they were cops they know how to work a pipe wrench pretty good lol.

The moral of the story is don't freak out and do something rash, think it through and come up with a plan. P.S. a uhaul parked outside the house looks very innocuous.
Go Team!

Way to go and glad it worked out for you. We get about 2 door knocks a week from different contractors and such with make work projects. I always ask them to send me the details in a letter from the utility this way I know it's from the utility and not something funny.
