Wow , that could have been this old house one time. I came home from a service call and found my house full of natural gas . It was a wonder the dog was not dead . This was in the fall and we did have the heat on . I got the dog out and hooked him away from the house and went back in and opened al the doors and windows . Then i started looking for the leak . When i opened the door to the basement the odor was really strong and i almost made the mistake of turning on the lights , stopped myself with my finger on the light switch . Thinking that would be a huge mistake and used my mini mag lite i carry on me . I can hear gas excaping and found that the furnace valve was open but the pilot lite on the furnace was out and also on the hot water heater . I shut off the gas to both and opened up the two windows that i could open and got the heck out of there . I went outside and called the gas company and that was a huge mistake , i found out that THEY had shut the gas off to make a repair on the main line and they went around and to each house to relite any pilot lites that went out and check for any other leaks IF there was somebody home . well nobody was HOME and yes there was a problem with the gas valve on my furnace that i did not know about . BUT the commotion that came about next was unreal as i had five fire trucks arriving and four cops and a half dozen gas company employees. here . and the fight was on . They were really upset that I turned off the gas and that I opened up all the windows and doors . What i was SUPPOSE TO DO WAS CLOSE all windows and doors and run around and tell all my neighbors to evacuate and then call them . I had also called the heating contractor to come and replace the gas valve on the furnace and they even gave him a hard time as they had to inspect his work and also inspect all jpoints and fitting before we could relite the two pilot lites . Oh and that was another fiasco as they went to checking all joints valves and fitting there gas sniffers were not working as they tried three and so they went with a PROPANE TORCH .
