"Since most people die within 5 miles of where they were born I strongly recommend that you travel as much as possible."

Well Diane just lit a fire under my behind so I did more research and think I've found a couple of companies who might insure wooden houses. Fingers crossed...

Fingers are crossed for you. Good Luck!

We have a wood house too. Been insured forever by R F & G. We're on the beach. House did fine in Keith. Wood has a lot of positive features in storms, but the underwriters have their own ideas --
