Sounds pretty cool, all right. Breaking a gas line could be exciting, so I
hope they're right about not cutting them. Then there's a guy I know locally

(11KV?) by a Verizon "mole" device laying fiber optic cable. Destroyed every
electrical circuit and device in the house, took almost a year to repair.
