YOU WERE DIGGING FOR A GAS MAIN :shock: ?!?!?!
you are braver than me.
Yup. I had a better idea where it was, because I dug down beside the gas meter first.
Then I dug down beside the gas pipe, then came into it carefully from the side.
This is all because I having my gas meter moved from the side of the house to the front, so I can put some gates right at the front. I didn't want the gas company digging the whole area up to find the pipe
You can see it in the first pic, it's yellow on the left, and joins to a grey pipe for the last metre to the gas meter.
