Wow. You are doing much of what we are doing only super fast. We are moving at a Southern pace. You must enjoy managing projects and moving things along.
Our backgrounds and priorities are different, so you must be having fun with the responses. Florida is a top state for lightening strikes. We in central Florida experience high winds, tropical storms. I recommend a whole house surge protector to protect high tech appliances and computer equipment. Call around to electricians for prices. We bought ours from SECO for $350 four yr ago, but found cheaper installed prices later. I wanted it immediately. Also install point of use surge protectors inside your home on critical devices and outlets.
Do you have electric or gas appliances? Are they protected from lightning. A home in our area was hit near a gas line and burned quickly. Open concept has disadvantages. The rebuilders have chosen an electric home.
We are on the fence about lightning rods, unless they are on our neighbor’s home. : )
I have heard that TV installs them on their buildings but need to verify. If used, gas lines need to be considered. Perhaps a chat with fire experts could enlighten us.
