I'm surprised I've still got a house...

:sunny: That's why I am suggesting that the cost be split. The hardware may be old but for the brain surgeon coming in and not venting the tank properly, it wouldn't have blown off. Plus your chances of getting the company to help will be better if you only ask them to split it.

When you say "split it" I have visions of them sending the same guy back out...with an axe... :error:

Don't give him any ideas...
 
He did not vent the tank thus causing the chain of events. The tank would of exploded or in your lucky case just equipment damaged. Legally they have to make it whole but not profit you. That means they need to pay for clean up, any damage to trees or property and part of the replacement or repair of the item. Ask yourself what needs repairing and how old was it, was it in need of replacement or repair. You might as well take the $1000 and get a safe new one, lol.

Goes to look for Propane tank sweepstakes.
 
The company that sent the guy probably has insurance to cover these things, so you should expect them to pay for the damages caused by the employee. It's not like they're donating the propane to you out of good will; it's a business, and they came to your house to make a profit from the delivery. They have to clean up their mess and pay if they cause damages.

I feel your house fix-up pain; got plenty of it here. I try to do whatever I can without paying people, and this morning I went outside to trim an overgrown bush with an electric hedge trimmer tool. I wound up trimming a piece of the wire, and it went POP!, I got a spark and now it doesn't work. I hope I can get a replacement wire from the hardware store to get the trimmer working again.

I'm inept, but I do try hard. At least I didn't trim off a finger (I wear the heavy leather gloves).

My home heating system is now fully converted from oil to natural gas. No more foreign petroleum being used here. :cheers:

Thank goodness that Jimmie is very handy ~ he is able to do almost everything! It has saved us a ton of money and headache to boot!! Other than a digging the ditch for the septic tank (we didn't have the equipment to dig that far down) and a few surgeries, he can do it all :laughing:
