More gas problems
Teri called City Hall, and they can get an inspector to check out our work on Friday - BUT.
It turns out that the people who did the work - Plumbing Solutions - were supposed to pull a permit from the city before doing the work. Without a permit, the work cannot be inspected and the gas cannot be reconnected.
The permit can be pulled retroactively, but Plumbing Solutions will have to do that; we can't do it ourselves, of course.
Teri called Plumbing Solutions, and they're going to check our file and get back to us.

But Libertarian Logic might say that Regulations just get in the way of people trying to do their jobs and make it all more expensive and cause it all to take longer. And if you blow up you can just sue so who needs regulations anyway?
My point was more that this is the sort of thing that Small Government advocates point at out of total context to promote their views, ignoring that regulations weren't just created by evil psychos in a mad scientist lab but were and are responses to real and actual problems.
