If you have a greenhouse heated by gas MAKE SURE THE SHUTOFF IS MARKED.

This reminds me of work.
We were in a lift pulling wire in the ceiling.
The guy I was with was really close to what he thought was the sprinkler pipe.
I told him it wasn't the sprinkler pipe it was the gas line, a 2 inch gas line for the heaters.
I had before hand found the main regulator and shutoff valves for it encase something happened.
If that gas line would have broken I told him it would filled that warehouse up in no time and explode.
Here is the problem.
They hide this and main disconnects behind shrubbery so people cant see it.
Not good for emergencies.
I cant count how many times I have had to look for them.
