You should not be having a gas mill in your house or outside of your house. What happens in our business, from the regulator to the house is usually our responsibility. Anything the other direction is the gas company, it's the op company or natural gas and that's their deal. They don't want us touching anything beyond that and that's fine. So if you go outside and have that, you should turn the gas off. You have a gas shut off, right? A gas shut off, you should turn it off. Obviously don't like cigarettes or don't use a lighter to see what's going on. That's not a good idea with a gas mill that's going to cause a problem. Now inside the house again, you could be, it could be a gas pressure problem, could be a gas valve problem you need to have. It goes back to what I just said. You need to have a maintenance done to make sure you're being operated properly because gas obviously is nothing to play with. And if you have any gas appliance in your house, whether it be a furnace or a water heater or a dryer or a stove, you should always have a carbon monoxide detector because that you cannot smell. That you cannot smell, you cannot see. But it is a byproduct of gas. So if you have gas in the house that needs to be installed as well. And we install with every new furnace and you should have one. But the gas smell, natural gas and lp, you know, they put that in there so you have that smell so you can identify, hey, I smoke gas. We need to get it checked out. It's not a normal thing to have a gas smell. So I would check that out.
