not standing in a door, just leaning over the deck rail to get a shot.Tank and regulator isnt far enough a way from the door (3') and while hard to tell looks to close to the crawlspace vent window as well.
I would have swore that was a door frame on the left of the pic, sorryI'm not standing in a door, just

They came and inspected it before filling the tank.
Tank sits on a concrete pad.
It beats diggin ditches.
I know for a fact that it was okay here in NC four years ago when I last did it.https://www.regoproducts.com/PDFs/L-545_Servicemans_Manual.pdf
This is dependent on where you live and the local AHJ. Many places in this nation you can still do your own plumbing.
There is still code to follow however. The code which has been adopted is from NFPA 54 and 58. Every state has adopted some form of the two as code. Neither 54 or 58 specify who has to do the work.
Been looking at new houses a lot lately before the Sheetrock and insulation are in. Most of the gas line appears to be a black plastic tube. Just under the wall surface and held in from pushing on the Sheetrock with lawn-chair strapping.I personally would never use anything but black pipe.
While the csst with a ground shield (black cover) certainly is a step up in lightning protection (but not eliminated) from the yellow csst it still susceptible to damage, in particular screws.
I have responded to 4 gas leaks so far where a screw, one from original construction years previous, has penetrated the csst and caused a leak. One had 4 screws in it over a 4’ section.
I have yet to see compromised black pipe from mechanical damage.
Black pipe won’t hole from lightning strikes either.
Beat it again. That sort of ignorant nonsense needs to be stomped into paste. Codes and regulations vary all over. They scarcely exist, many places.Pretty sure this horse had been beat to death!
