Glad none of your family was hurt ..thanks for the info on the surge protector ,,and with the firemens claims for sure will I take a look at mine for what brand it is.

just curious about what you posted on the lumber sizes of the old rough cuts used in your house ..did you mean full 2x4 studs in the outer walls and not full 4x4's? I just never heard of 4x4' before and this would be a first for me..

from your post above

It has true roughcut 4" X 4" on the outer walls, true 4" X 10" floor joices, and true 2" X 6" rafters. There was 1" X 12" tougue and groove planks behind all the drywall, which is amazing to me.

Gp here and not trying to pick on ya ..LOL just curious..

No, they are actually true 4 X 4's.

If you look at the halls pics here, you can see several of them. They measure a true 4" X 4" , instead of 3 1/2" that modern 4" lumber actually measures.






They're are some true 2 X 4's in some in-between areas, but all the corners, around all of the doors and around all of the windows they used 4 X 4's. In this pic, you can see what I mean. The corners, door, and window is cased in with the 4x4's and there are 2x4's in between.
