kitchen update
our bbq grill makes an attention getting woof! sound when you start it followed by a distinct rumbling whooshing sound. fire is so pretty jetting out of a gas line making a flame about 18" long and 3-4" wide at its widest. blacking 2x4's and drywall. rather hypnotizing actually. peaceful. tranquil. trance-like. reality seems so far away. spoiled only by a vague buzzing noise in the back of your head. like someone a great distance away yelling, hey dummy! there're flames shooting out of the gas line in your brand new kitchen! hey! hey! wake up! stop watching the pretty fire and put it out!
apparently, moving the dryer around each night and morning made a tiny leak in its gas line. when the worker flipped the circuit breaker on, his radio produced just enough static electricity to light the gas rupturing a significant hole in the line. after a few seconds of shocked disbelief, i caught up with reality and calmly shut off the conveniently located valve. it's fortunate the gare bear and i were johnny on the spot.
