You missed an exciting day at the Doudna remodeling project today. Everything is fine, but we had a brief scare. Plumber was working with his torch sweating pipes together and hit a piece of the paper backing on the old insulation between the floors. The old paper backing went up pretty fast, and then hit the piece of insulation in the next bay, and then the next piece. Only the paper burned, but it went fast. Fortunately we had fire extinguisher on hand. We pulled down the burnt pieces of insulation and hauled them away. Only the paper side was burned. There was only one spot on the edge of a floor joist that got lightly scared from the flame.
We went ahead and called fire department just so they could give the all clear. They had the street blocked for a little while with the fire truck, so some of the neighbor may say something. Firemen poked around and said everything is fine.
Whew.
But the really really bad news comes from PG&E: over $5000 to move our gas service -- and that's the easy, straightforward cheap one. I can't "wait" to see what they want to move the electrical service.
