Gas Line

Not a proud day on Thursday this week... I hit the natural gas line with a pick-axe! I knew exactly where it was (approximately) underground - I just didn't know how far underground it was. I was done excavating the front yard and was just clearing some rock and pebbles to begin laying the last retaining wall when I all of a sudden heard a loud hissing noise. I was watching all three kids at the time by myself and decided to get them out of there as soon as possible. I called the gas company and notified the neighbors... 45 minutes later the catastrophe was over.

 I still don't feel good about it... maybe because I still haven't received the bill!
