Coming soon to a kitchen near you
FIRE!!! Yep, the guys from PSNC came by yesterday to install the new natural gas fuel line for the stove. They ran some new piping, drilled through the floor behind the stove, installed a shut-off valve, and pressurized the line with air before capping it off with a pressure gauge. All was right in the world...until I walked downstairs and saw that the gauge had dropped from 25 psi to 0 psi in about 30 minutes of them leaving. I called PSNC and they came back out and checked the new line for leaks. Everything looked good in the new fuel line so they thought that the gauge itself had a leak. They re-taped the gauge and re-pressurized the line before leaving again. I've been keeping a close watch on the gauge as it has slowly dropped from 30 psi down to 17 psi. They told me that it would fluctuate due to changes in temperature, and considering that we had one of the coldest nights so far this season, I'm holding my breath that this drop in pressure has to do with the weather! I'm cautiously waiting for the Durham County Inspection Department to make an appearance soon! Once the new line passes inspection, I have to call PSNC to get them to come back out and hook up the stove and turn the gas on. When that happens, we'll be cooking again on Cobble Glen Ct.!
