Double wall welded seam gas piping under the floor is great stuff...
& will definitely keep the local pipefitters happy for a while.
It's gonna be expensive... Probably cheaper to trench & bury all the way
around the house.
Better yet, redo the landscaping & plant some shrubs or what not to cover
that "unsightly" meter.
To guys like myself, a meter is an attraction that starts the gears turning.
When ever I see some duct or piping I'm always trying to figure its
purpose...
I almost got run over at the Mpls/Stp Airport cuz a few ceiling tile were
out & I was eyeing up the duct & steam piping,
RedCap w/ a Golf cart full o'old folks honked & swerved as he came out of
his corner rounding powerslide!
(I still haven't figured it out... that place is huge, & the Stewardesses
passing by throw me off... I'll keep looking!)
