Fine, learned how to connect a natural gas dryer (yes, outgoing technology... but, still), and checked for leaks.

(Don't trust the contractors would do it correctly, and when I asked the plumber if he connects gas appliances he started bickering with me over my distrust of the not-trustworthy contractors, so I decided to do it myself).

Will have the gas company double check things (they do that as a free service) before turning it all on again.

Interesting on the responsiveness difference between one contractor's project manager and another.

The one that originally pulled all the wet carpet, drywall, and content out of our house after our plumbing disaster texted me back instantly (arranging a move back soon). 30 seconds later.

The project manager for the folks doing the restoration usually takes two days to reply (to text, calls... does not respond to emails).

LOL. This plumber does great work, but man, does he have opinions.

"You really should get rid of this s*** in your yard"

"Yeah, I know, we JUST HAD OUR ENTIRE HOUSE FLOODED OUT and we threw a bunch of stuff out there."

"Well, I'm not like you, I am always moving and working, I would have hauled that stuff away by now."

(Left him to his own devices so I don't need to hear any more... last time he called me a "slumlord")
