Default Propane rip-off? Go natural!

One fellow I know did just that. Put in a gas line to his
outdoor grill. That's fine as long as the natural gas is
working. Which is essentially all the time.


Great idea. I can have it done for about $25,000 or so.


We had to run a new line 100' to a location farther from the cabin. Used
the old tank. Cost of changeover ......... $527. The prices in your area
must be higher.

Digging up the street for two blocks to the nearest gas line is considerably
more than moving to a new location on your own property.

At work I had a gas line put in for about 120 feet. Took a crew about 4
days. Removed asphalt, trenched 48", hit rock and hammered away at it for
about a day and a half. It was a freebie though as we are a large user (up
to $20,000 a month)
