From today's Boston Globe ("Handyman on Call"):
"Can a gas dryer be installed in a bedroom? No, said Richard McMillan, who supervises plumbing and gas fittings in the city of Boston [well, maybe he's not an "inspector"]. A gas dryer uses air in the room ... [and] there is the chance that the burning gas will pull the air out of the room [!!!], which would pose a health hazard for anyone in the room."
BWAHAHAHA... !!! Oh, my goodness, what idiots we have running things.
