The actual job only took about a week the rest of the time was waiting for the city to issue the permit and inspect.

That is a complete dik move on that gas guy. The old guy had a completly functioning system minus a possible gas leak that could have been something simple like a valve. His house may have been up to code with the 1/2" when it was built.
