Gas Leak!

Martin Luther King, Jr. Day was punctuated earlier this morning by a knock on our door. One of the sub-contractors working next to our neighbor's house had punctured a gas line while excavating. Whoops. They advised we might want to evacuate the house, just to be on the safe side, until the gas company could cap the broken line. It seemed like a reasonable suggestion so we headed a few doors down to the development's show home and office to wait.

All in all we were only out of the house for about 15 minutes before the gas company showed up and fixed the leak. I was pleased that my house was still where I left it and that it did not end up resembling a pile of popsicle sticks.
