| I've searched the threads and although I'm sure there's one on this I couldn't find it. I'd like some of your thoughts on more unconventional home security, not defense, got that covered. I've got the motion lights, dead bolts, trimmed shrubs etc. I'm just wanting to better fortify the house. |
In the city, people kept sitting on my front steps. I had a metal worker fabricate a rail of small iron spikes that bolt on to the top of the steps. Problem solved. I considered attaching my railing to a car battery and getting some popcorn so I could watch the show, but I am not that crazy just yet 
At my previous residence, I dough a small trenches the size of a bicycle tire along the edge where the grass meets the walkway. I always knew when we had a new postal carrier due to the circulars floating around my yard. I forgot to mention the flash bang rigged to the pumpkins when we had a rash of vandals smashing them in the neighborhood. For some reason they never f**ked with my pumpkins...I guess I was lucky. If anyone is curious I did end up flash banging my wife by accident. I felt bad about that…but there are casualties in war. I told her that she was lucky I did not have access to thermite grenades. |
