Even after shutting the gas valve, the lines are still
pressurized. Need to light a stove burner, or turn up the
water heater until the gas pressure is reduced.

That being said, there _was_ an incident around here
(suburb of Wash
DC) where some guy blew his house to bits a few months
ago. But I
think he was actually putting in the line to the dryer
himself.

Not a big deal at all unless you don't have a valve at the
appliance.
Just make sure to turn off the valve before you start and it
is a piece
of cake. I will assume that your dryer has an electronic
ignition, so
no pilot lights to relight.

If you DON'T have a valve at the appliance, then you have to
shut off
the gas to the house, then relight all of your pilots after
you turn it
back on. It would be a good time to install a valve at the
dryer when
you turn off the gas.
