Thankfully all of my services are underground


Yeah, I wish that were the case here ... I have no idea what it would
cost. Some of the soil here is very thin, with rock (and underground
water!) very near the surface. Many homes need sump pumps (mine
doesn't). With the 80 year-old sewers, gas- and water-lines in place,
getting electric underground would probably be a rather big job.


I think you can attach one leg to the gas line and one leg to the water
line, and bring the power in that way.


Too much gas in the sewer line ... Wouldn't work, especially when the
soil is moist and conducive.
