    Almost finished running the 50 ft of 1 inch iron gas pipe to be able
    to run my backup generator on NG instead of having to keep fresh
    gasoline and/or propane around. The propane tanks "expire" between
    fill-ups because I run on gasoline first until I run out - or low -.
    Now I won't need to worry about running out or low - -\
    I only had a 1/2 inch line, and little Jenny didn't like that!!!

    When you're done with that -
    - as if you don't have enought to do -
    .. come on over and advise me on how I can get
    my future propane stand-by genertor fed ..
    .. the existing tanks are opposite corner of the
    electric meter of my house -
    with lots of junk in-the-way ..
    I need a fresh idea / approach ..

    Interesting. Where I live (Montgomery County, Maryland, USA) only
    licensed master plumbers are authorized to do installations and/or modifications of gas appliances and their hookups to the appliance's gas supply. Even then, those plumbers are required to obtain a permit from
    the county. When the work is completed, the work must pass an inspection
    by the county appointed organization designated to do inspections before
    the installation or modification can be turned on. Violations carry
    strict financial penalties. Homeowner's use the services of commercial plumbers who are licensed in our county to perform that work.

    True in most places for permits and licenses. If the law was followed,
    many hardware stores would be closed. I'd probably be in jail for all
    the work I've done for myself and friends.

    I have a good friend who is a certified gas tech - he did the actual connection to the meter and inspected/passed all my pipe work. John
    has met Ed. Nice guy.

    When I put the 1/2 inch line in initially I did it myself and called
    the gas co for the inspection. Passed with flying colours!!!

    In Michigan, homeowners are allowed to do pretty much anything to their
    house, provided they pull a permit and have the work inspected. I
    think charging a central air-conditioning unit with coolant is an
    exception.

    The inspectors seem to like my husband. The electrical inspector
    said, "You need another ground. I know you'll do it, so I'll give
    you the green card."

    One thing I could mention. Decades ago I DID have my propane
    installation and service licence to work on propane powered vehicles
    and RVs- so I do know a bit about gaseous fuels. Let the
    certifications go circa 1985??

    How many serious laws do the politicians break every day?
    Are they ever held accountable?
    Will Nancy Piglosi pay any financial penalties for fleecing the market?

    And I'm supposed to worry about installing my own water heater? LOL

    If it's gas fired, and your house blows up, LOL to you! It seems every
    week or two there are a few reports on evening news broadcasts of
    massive gas explosions pulverizing private homes. I wonder if it's a
    result of faulty work performed by weekend do-it-yourselfers.
