Really glad we reported the smell of gas from the back lane last night!!!!

First responder, gruff and laconic, wandering around with testing equipment: Oh yeah, there's something. *calls second responders to follow up*

Second responders: We'll be here in a couple of hours, just to check out the site, probably come back in the morning to do the work.

Second responders, showing up at midnight: Holy shit *jackhammers and repairs*

There is now a large patch of new asphalt in the back lane and blessedly NO smell of gas

I know Australia's supposed to be dangerous but do houses usually partially collapse/almost explode on a month by month basis...?
