Apparently having your gas feed from the main run through your neighbor's house is not a good idea. BGE proposed installing a new main and new meter. See old meter below.
A simple request to be at home at 8:30 AM today has turned into a day-long absence from work and this mess...
The crews aren't too happy. I don't know why they act like I built the house. They underestimated how deep the main gas line will be. The project will require them to come back tomorrow but I already notified Marisa it's her shift to cover.

Well that looks like a mess. I'm surprised you didn't have to pay them to install a new line.
I wonder if it was done that way originally because the same person owned both houses. That's the only possible reason I could think of.
Steve - I know you posted this a while ago, but I'm hoping you still get emails on comments. I just discovered I have the same situation going on...except that I have 2 lines coming into my meter. One from the neighbors and one from the front of the house. Who did you contact at BGE? Were they done in 2 days? It was no cost out of pocket other then your work time right?
Hi, was interested in who footed the bill for the gas issue? I have the same problem, but on the other foot where the line comes into my house and the pipe is in the middle of the wall which is robbing me of 15-20 sq ft of space in my basement.

BGE footed the entire bill, interior and exterior work. It was a safety issue. Incredibly they did it all in one day too.
