Today is gas install day.

This one of what's sure to be many "costs you didn't account for". The kitchen, laundry room and hot water heater are all electric. This was probably swell in 1963 when Hoover Dam power was el cheapo, but not so swell today when power is pricey and gas isn't. So... this is the part where I'm trying to remind myself that the $1200 I'm dropping to get gas run all over the place will pay for itself.

The good news it that the plumber guys are cool, and they're pretty much setting up the lines for my future kitchen lovlieness. They're also pulling out the ghetto gas lines for the fireplaces (which I'm gonna make "regular"). This means it'll be easier to knock down that wall over there...

Best of all, I'll get to use my new (used) dryer. I've never been so excited about the prospect of doing laundry!
