I have a fire drill every Wednesday. I shout 'treat' and they come galloping. I'm hoping that will lure them out of hiding if there's an emergency. Do you have catnip??
32 houses in town...a very, very small town, mind you...had gas leaks yesterday. We are waiting for Nicor to explain why, and will probably wait untill hell freezes over.
I recognize that. I have a rant about a new gas fireplace, furnace, on demand hot water heater, a gas leak and pipes drilled through the foundation but not properly sealed. Does nothing get done right the first time any more? I'm just glad that it wasn't worse for you and yours.

Try the can opener. Seriously, that is pretty scary, and if they don't want to be found, they can fold themselves up smaller than a handkerchief.
ReplyDeleteMy basement is full of large sweaty men in toolbelts. I do not think I am going to see them for a while.
ReplyDeleteI hoping you will be stampeded by angry, tired, and hungry cats who will blame you for messing up their day.
ReplyDeleteNot fun to have missing cats. Not fun to have sweaty men in the basement. Hope the gas line was fixed, the cats reappeared and you had a stiff drink.
ReplyDeleteWell? Are you and yours OK? is the house still standing? Have the critters forgiven you yet? Or are you speaking to them? Gas leaks are no joke.

ReplyDeleteI'd say they owe you an explanation and a way to prevent this happening again. Pipeline pressure fubar? I'm just glad you and yours are OK.
ReplyDeleteExplanation? How about the $300 we had to fork out for a tech from the people who installed our duct-work to come out and replace four valves.
