Wow! That is a story! I am amazed!  I only know of one comparable story=20
but from a different angle.

A technoid friend from way back - maybe 30 years ago - in a rented=20
house, had to install a fridge with an ice-maker.  It had a 'hot-tap'=20
setup to connect to the water line.  You wrap a connector around the=20
cold water line and then drill through it.  Back out the drill bit and=20
now you have tapped the water line to provide water to the fridge ice maker=
..

Just one problem here - when he was done, he smelled natural gas filling=20
the kitchen.  He had drilled into the gas line, not the water line.  To=20
fix it, he had to yank the entire kitchen cabinet counter drawers and=20
all and sink away from the wall to get to the gas line.  He eventually=20
survived...
