Hit 94 today, then a storm blew through and dropped it to around 75. Still too muggy. Lost a few tree branches, but I'm lucky, there's a lot of power outages all around me, including my Mom's place. Just makes me more determined to get that generator hooked up! I'm going to rent a trencher and run the gas line myself, and just have a plumber do the connections at either end. Got tired of waiting for the one guy so moved on to a different plumber who was helpful about ordering parts.
Speaking of which, I ordered the L-shaped connectors from home depot, that are used to bring the gas line above grade at either end of the line so it can be connected. Home Depot shipped them in a box that was too small, so portions of them are sticking out of the top, and the bottom of the box is still open, with tape wound round the other ends of the Ls and the flaps of the box. Unacceptable. I had to do fieldwork this afternoon so I haven't had time to dig through all the tape to see if anything is broken or not. HD has really gone downhill fast this last year or so.
