It's a nippy 53 degrees here. Indoors. Been that way a while, will continue until new gas lines installed.
Yes, we overstayed our welcome in this old house, shoulda bailed last year while the bailing was good.
The plumber spent the morning investigating and estimating. Of course this is a slab, and the leak's in the concrete. The cheapest fix is to go up to the roof, across and down to the stove, the wall heater, and the water heater. And by cheap I mean pushing 8K. And that's leaving the drywall repair to me. Unfortunate development, considering we probably won't stay here much longer, and this is a scraper. Whoever buys it will almost certainly rebuild.
Still, I guess it's good that we didn't launch ourselves into space with the gas leak.
