Robert, Their both electronic propane and Freon gas detectors available, but they are both spendy and unless you are going to use them regularly just call the gas company to do the leak check. You might consider instilling a sense of urgency in there dispatcher by telling them you are a blind guy with a Zippo lighter.

Maybe the gas company could tell you where to get such an animal. I think there is some thing for automotive applications that will sniff out leaks of some sort. I wonder if that would work for natural gas. Perhaps some one on the list can clarify this for me. Because as Larry so eloquently put it, I am probably talking out of my 33rd vertebra. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Shane Hecker Sent: Thursday, May 24, 2007 8:40 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [BlindHandyMan] gas? hell yes I got gas The house I'm moving into has natural gas for the central heat and water heater. There were some old heaters in the bathroom which were also gas, but they have been removed. Obviously, the gas had to be turned off during the removal process. The pipe that fed these heaters has been capped off. The gas has not been turned back on yet, and may not be until after I move in. The gas is turned off at the meter, and I know how to turn it back on. Question is how does a totally blind person find a gas leak? Smell is an easy answer. I also know soappy water on a gas line will make bubbles if there is a leak. It goes without saying I'm concerned about the area where the pipe has been capped off. Are the bubbles created by soappy water big enough to feel in this instance or is there another solution? Thanks.
