Family near swim club that I've known for years:

http://www.theitalianpalace.com/

Solar installed 7 years ago followed by geothermal heating.

Talked to father today as someone had seen solar panels removed, new
roof and panels reinstalled.

Turned out panel installation was not done properly causing roof to
eventually leak. All repairs done at no cost but took threat or filing
of lawsuit to get corrected.

Thought interesting enough to post here.


It appears that the page hasn't been updated in 5 years. I have Italian cousins up north. Heck, we're all relative. I'm half Wop and half Wasp.ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

Yes, it is old and I probably mentioned it before. Wanted to post
because of solar panel discussion of late. This is unforeseen pitfall.
When I see the owner I might tell him to update. His father had built
the house as a ranch. He was a brick layer with only a son. When
mother died, son moved back in with his family adding a second level
including solar and geothermal later. He's a computer guru and whole
place is automated. Father now 88 deeded house to son with provision
that he stays there for life expense free.

I'm half Italian myself but if your last name is Italian you are thought
to be all Italian. The son Domenic is also half Polish.


I'm Italian on my mother's side of the family. I traced a paternal WASP ancestor to London, England in the 1700's. Of course anyone who's studied history knows that the Romans were all over Britain centuries ago and Roman soldiers diddled everything in sight. The Roman Empire was quite large and the Romans enjoyed buggering every warm body they could find which proves that,"There's a little Italian in everyone." I wish I had the money to do one of those genetic tests to see how diverse my genetic heritage actually is. It would prove what I suspect that I'm everyone's cousin. ヽ(€¢€¿€¢)ノ

One son and my wife had the tests done. I can basically figure mine from
their results. We cover continental Europe mostly around the
Mediterranean. Wife's parents were Greeks born in Turkey and my
grandparents were Italian and Lithuanian. Surprise to me was no African
blood as many are surprised to find.

One daughter in law's sister is big on ancestory and belongs to the DAR.
DNA shows she is 1% African and she asked their parents to be tested
to find who the black blood came from. Asked daughter in law what she
thought and she laughed and said that it means someone in her family was
adventurous.
