I heat/cook with propane so I have a 500 gallon tank that's filled
regularly based on degree days, I don't need to call. However they
may not permit propane tanks where Jill lives, apparently there are a
lot of HOA rulz there... and I can understand why, a lot of people
ignore the safety rules and will use propane grill tanks to operate
their inside cook stoves, a big no-no.
