    I found five lightning rods along the roof. I've no idea how I missed them, but when you've been looking at a house for 25 years you tend not to pay attention to detail. One was a very rare combination of a lightning rod and a weathervane. I could sell it for around $175, however, I think I am going to put it in my Grandmother's garden considering that it was her childhood home. It is made of a copper braid and I have somewhere around 120 feet of it so I'm not going to be hurting for money either. The other 4 lightning rods should sell quickly at about $25 a piece. I took the breaker box out today and found a nice bench vise in the garage which didn't burn down. All in all it was a great day.
