Let me know how long it finally takes to get the gas hooked up. Is your house already set up with the gas lines or do you still have to get a plumber in after the meter is installed.
We don't have a meter either and I haven't looked into getting hooked up yet. We have 2 electric hot water tanks, one for the kitchen and one for the bathroom so are set as far as hot showers go. Our next concern is getting some heat! We have 3 kerosene heaters and the fireplace but it's not the same as central heating.
