In an effort to bail out Europe from freezing due to the fact they didn't want to pay said communist regime for higher energy costs the demented man stepped in and is now selling Nat gas to much of Europe limiting the supply for customers at home.  

…we are waiting on $$$ for taxes, water and gas to run boiler system.

We have no income tax, no state sales tax, and use the royalties from oil and gas to fund the state government.

Your gas to travel back-and-forth.

I’m not wasting my time or gas to go over to meet with losers that I don’t want living in my house !  

Water leaks and gas to heat water leaks are big thief's and you should be concerned about water consumption. 

Five months out of the year, I pay an extra $800-$1,200 per month for natural gas to heat the boilers. 

With my roofer, I dribble the money out so he has gas to get to work, but no big payments until he is finished because he won't work unless he is completely broke.If you only hire licensed and insured contractors it shouldn't ever be an issue whether they are a contractor or an employee (in theory, anyway).

The gas guy shut off the gas to the house and took the meter, stating that the landlord would need to get the repair work inspected before they will come back with the meter.

Once you have gas to the house this give you the option for gas water heater, stove, fire place and dryer.
