Time to hook the NG lines for the only house on the street. Also
install the house meter.

Curb was marked for the gas line stub. Backhoe and shovel crew could
not find the line. Call the boss: Eventually he pulled some metal wire
from the site dumpster Started his search for the metallic line.
Decides, it is "here". WRONG!

So he calls the guy with the tools. The tech showed up and ask the
crew boss to move his truck.

The gas line was 30 feet from where the curb mark was.
