The house is close to 200 years old. Orig was a one floor cabin. Second floor was added in the 1890's.
the tin Roof is close to 70 years old.
I had to put new rain gutters up last weekend, and got to thinking, if the roof were to be hit by lightening, what could happen. There is no real path from the roof to ground, other than thru the house/wiring.
Would it make sense to attach a #2 copper or Alum wire to the corner of the roof and attach to a ground rod?
I don't want to do anything to attract it, but to prevent any damage.
Any advice?
