Hooking Up Houses

There is a housing development in town that has just constructed three new houses. Each house needs to be hooked up to the gas company, the water company, and the electric plant. However, safety codes prevent any of the lines running from the utilities to the houses from crossing each other. Your challenge is to help the housing developers figure out a way to get all three services to each house without crossing any of the lines.

Use the picture of the neighborhood shown below to record your solution once you have discovered one. All of your work should be done on worksheet 2. Remember that none of the lines you draw may cross each other.
