From what the owner (Diane) told me she had pride of ownership in her small home. She had the gray pipes replace, new roof, new flooring and get this, she bought a miter saw and personally put all new molding in the house. I think for every angle I have cut correctly on a miter saw I have cut one backward.

I hope she can afford a second chance.

I didn't mean poor as in having little or no wealth, I meant poor as in unfortunate. If you had read all the posts, you would have read that another poster said her insurance company would compensate her with $15,000.

I learn long ago, not to believe everything you hear. Just because a poster says certain things. You know a friend of a friend.

Unfortunate situation for anyone.

Seven of the eight homes that have been completely destroyed by lightning in the past eight years have had gas lines running through the attic which is code in either Florida or this area. The one recently burnt I don't know, but Lightning who is a poster here will be able to tell us when he knows.

Lightning, his screen name, is an expert on Lightning, posts on this forum, writes a column in POA newsletter and gives power point presentations on Lightning and is NOT affiliated with any Lightning protection companies.

I think all new construction only has electric and does NOT offer gas utilities, but some people choose to have propane for outdoor kitchens. Something to think about in the lightning capital of the U.S.
