In reply to Allison Bailes. I was just curious if the leaks were typically from within the appliances, or from the field connections.

In reply to RoyC. RoyC: No, I don't, other than the general answer of near the gas appliances.

Allison, do you have any information on where these gas leaks typically occur?

This could describe my house last year. The ducts, the gas leak, the dead critter next to the duct, the big air leaks around my sliding gas door, the electrical connections without a box. We recently renovated the house after having a awesome home energy inspector did her thing. I even told all the contractors that she would be reinspecting the job to make sure it was done correctly. $25k we have a heat pump and a new back door with all new ducts. Just treats this year, we hope.

In reply to Scott Schrier. Scott: I don't keep mine unplugged, but I do that about that watermelon episode whenever I put stuff near the toaster oven. Fortunately, where we have it now there's not much room to put anything in front of it.

In reply to Kelly Adams. Kelly: Great idea about the Rube Goldberg watermelon switch! Good luck with the bathroom demolition. I suppose you've seen my bathroom remodel articles from 2016, but if not, here's the first one. The links to the others are at the end. Air Flow Pathways in a Leaky Bathroom Wall

I like how this was last on the problems with gas list:
” You also don’t want your home to catch on fire or explode.”
That was all I was going to say but then I got to the end and it does come to mind that the liquified watermelon turning off the stove could be one step in a Rube Goldberg gadget.
Happy Halloween!
ps funny you should post this today, my bathroom rip out starts tomorrow – I WILL conquer the mold!!!
