Our gas leak! Update in post 15

[Sirrahsim]

A couple of minutes ago a couple came and knocked on our door to let us know that they smelled gas outside of our house. We have gas appliances so one thing that we are nervous about is a gas leak! The thing is that I can't smell a thing... I went out to my front sidewalk where they had been when they smelled it but I don't really smell anything... They said that they usually circle the block a few times (out for a walk) and if they smelled it again they would just call the fire dept

So I wonder if I'm crazy and my nose is broken... or if they were smelling someone's propane grill or something.. I don't know why anyone would be grilling at 9:45 on a Sunday night though

*updated* apparently our neighbors called the fire department because they just showed up and they smell it at our gas lines I'll update when I know something

If your gas company does checks for free, I would get them to do one. Probably a good idea, even if nothing is wrong.

Yeah, phone the number on your gas bill and see if the recording says "If you're calling to report a gas odor, call..." My gas company does, anyway.

Love, Columbine

The base pays for our utilities so it wouldn't cost anything anyway but I don't want to call them out for nothing I'll have hubby go out and if he catches so much as a whiff we will make the call.

The firemen told us that we have a small gas leak coming from our regulator thingymabob. At this point it isn't too bad but I had to put in an emergency maintenance request to our "landlords" so it'll be a long night of waiting up while they make their way over here and fix the leak. I'm glad that it wasn't too serious!!
