Lol I got a scare of my life yesterday. I cleared a boiler pilot pipe. Installed it back in. Now when I came in to this ladies house, I thought I smelled gas, but my nose is running so I wasn't sure. Either way, I check all the pipes with soap water, all good. I pull out my lighter, but something isn't sitting right. I check all the pipe connections with the lighter now. All seems fine no little flames anywhere. Ok. I go to light the pilot. It finally lights. I switch it to run, all of a sudden the thermostat fires the boiler. Boom. The entire floor explodes in my face. I jumped like 30 feet back. Nearly crapped myself. The huge flame from the boiler ignited gas sitting low on the floor. Natural gas is heavy, so it is always on the bottom. Turns out this house got was a dump, the upstairs stove was leaking, the gas made it past the floor and sunk in the boiler room. Learned my lesson. I should have trusted my nose right away.
