After reading the posts of suggestions and punch lists, I feel like we are barely getting by in our 4 yr old, "slightly wired" hovel, lol!
The anti-lightning info was very interesting; we got zapped a year ago when a direct strike on our on-ground green transformer "box" was hit: it travelled into our house and blew surge protectors out of outlets, fried APC UPS units, etc. Our TV/audio-video survived, though we lost all of our phones and my old 'puter was zapped, but eventually fixed. We spent considerable time w/our electrician and a tech from our elec. utility guy and did some mods to what we thought were originally "good protection"; most of those rec'd by Kenner were intstituted...when we were done, the local utility tech said that was about all we could do, but he still felt that a huge ground strike could zap the house. I felt less than mollified, to say the least. This isn't Tampa, et al, but lightning up here on the ridge at 5K is no treat.
NEway, good lists of HighTech stuff...maybe in my next life, after I've come back rich instead of good looking, lol!
