As to the qualifications of my installer:
He works on most commercial properties in TV and Lake County, where he's based.
His card reads: "Members of Underwriters Laboratories, National Fire Protection Agency, Lightning Protection Institute,Certfied Master Installer/Designed"
Couple neighbors hired an Underwriter professional after the installation; the work was completely blessed.
It's true that Mike Tucker is cool to lightning rods. But, that doesn't ease my peace of mind!
