re: Running a new gas line

I'd like to replace an existing electric range in the kitchen with gas. Anyone have a rough idea of a fair price to tie into an existing gas line in the attic?

Just did this myself last month. So much happier with gas.

Of course you can always pay someone to do this but a capable DIYer should be able to handle it rather easily.

All together the materials cost me just over $100. Added a 3/4" drop off the existing line that ran right past the range location in the attic. Took me about two hours.

Someone said use galvanized pipe. That's supposedly a no-no. The galvanized can flake off over time and cause problems with your appliances. You're supposed to use black iron pipe. You can find it at any hardware or box store.
