OPINION

NEAL, Judge.

Kent Nowlin Construction Company brings this interlocutory appeal from the denial of its motion in limine. Two issues are raised:(1) Can the plaintiffs introduce evidence of other incidents of damage to other gas lines to prove that Kent Nowlin negligently damaged the gas line next to the plaintiff’s home?(2) Did the trial court err in ruling that evidence of other incidents of damage, properly admissible against the Gas Company of New Mexico to show notice, could cover those incidents occurring up until December 2, 1979?

We affirm in part and reverse in part.
