Great top.
01:15
Negative CO[1] readings in the utility room.
01:18
We did have a very slight odor,

17 operations.
02:35
Okay, cap.
02:41
Narrow down our source of the gas odor to a fitting right off of one of the heaters if you could send me against in here.
02:49
I guess it was going to be a thing off of one of the eaters and the A-sun.
02:55
