One of my neighbors hit a gas line

No, no damage to anything. But I was pretty surprised how shallow these things were. Apparently gas lines are buried at a standard 18" below the surface over here. This one he hit and severed was plastic. The guys came out and basically used a pair of vise grips and clamped it shut. Put another section in and removed the vise grips. Pretty amazing. I would have thought that gas lines would be made of a more durable material than plastic.

Just my educative moment of the day.
