buffalo ny: a good hvac man you hire will walk you and your sharpie
magic marker thru the basement gas pipes. once you have marked them
all, a trip to the basement with the road signs all posted will be a
pleasure. and mark electrical and plumbing, every circuit, every valve,
every pipe.
hang service manuals for furnaces and appliances, and spares filed
upstairs in case of basement flooding.
