Question:

Difficulty getting home owners insurance w/ wood furnace in garage?

I'm buying a home that was built in 1979. The home has a wood/oil furnace in the garage that serves as the only heat for the home. This is not a wood stove, it's a wood furnace that has a chimney and is ducted through the ductwork. Because the wood furnace is in the garage, 2 of 4 insurance companies I've called will not write a policy on the home, one of the others isn't sure, and one says they see no problem if it's installed properly.Can anyone tell me why a wood furnace in the garage is such a big deal? Where else would it go?I'm going to ask the seller who his insurance company is, but I was just wondering why these policies are so hard to write? It seems like they'd just tack on a surcharge and write the thing.

Answer:

invested in a Dyson Animal Vacuum. It was pricey, but the best thing I've ever had for picking up fur. I can get my rugs, upholstery, curtains and my hardwood floors with the attachments. It sucked things out of my carpet I never knew existed. Then I use Febreeze
it never hurts to be too careful .BC isn't 100% he may just be looking out that you don't get pregnant.. Still talk to him though and tell him how you feel. telling us doesn't do anything, telling him makes a world of difference
maybe he is afraid of you getting pregnant, because the pill, like comdoms, is only 99% effective, so there is a small chance. if you are using a condom and the pill, there is almost no chance that you could get pregnant. ask him about that.
At least he's careful. You know, that's a great trait for him to have, because there are many men and women that refuse to use condoms. Just keep using the condoms, and when/if he's ready, he will stop. It's his body too, so you'll just have to respect his decision and be patient. I doubt he thinks you're sleeping around or anything like that, maybe it's just a hard habit for him to break, or he's just not ready for that yet. Time will tell!
With the ever growing problems relating to STDs and the fallible issues with any form of birth control, its a wonder that more protection isn't encouraged as much by young adults. Birth control is not perfect, neither are condoms, but together they're are the safest combination possible. Ask him directly why he chooses to use protection for himself, and I'm willing to be its for safety reasons. I highly doubt it has anything to do with you being unclean or possibly cheating, otherwise he probably wouldn't date you or be intimate with you. Don't be offended that he wants to use a condom; in fact, it makes him more comfortable, therefore it will probably make sex a more enjoyable experience for the both of you.
