Someone actually knows what they are doing!! The main maintenance guy was here with his analyzer thingy this morning and left with the grim news that he may need to cut off the gas to the entire block. Apparently it is a small leak but it is at a place that is problematic. There is already a decent sized hole dug in my yard and I'm sure it's going to get bigger. He left a little bit ago to grab his supervisor and as soon as they get here I am going to take Tyler to the park for an hour or two to get away from the drama. He said that I could leave if I really wanted to but that I'd have to call him when I got back to come turn the pilot light back on.
I guess I should bake the neighbors cookies or something for calling the leak to our attention!

Edited to add that baking cookies will have to wait until the gas leak is fixed
