Of course, we don't want ru- mors that somebody's cousin heard a friend say that her grandfather's partner in Ohio had a tin-roofed shed struck beforo the Civil War.

We want a definite case that you know about yourself. Tin roofs protect your build- inps not only from water, but from flro and lightning, too.
