A friend of mine bought a house in Baltimore County 5 or 10 years ago
that still had knob and tube wiring, at least in the attic. My friend
says you can't get a mortgage if you don't pass inspectinon and you
can't pass inspection with k&t wiring.
What do you think happened?

I think the house burned to the ground and the insurance
company wouldn't pay and your friend committed hara-kiri
after murdering the inspector. I think I read about that case
in the National Enquirer.. or it might have been a
movie-of-the-week
I'll get back to you on that.

Do we get a prize if we guess the right answer and what is it?
My guess is that since Micky said that his friend bought the house,
that he in fact bought it. End of story.
