I’ll share my home security list:
1. Mid-sized, loyal, loving dog that is slightly neurotic from early experiences in prior abusive home and will rip the throat out of anyone that isn’t part of her ‘new family’ – which is also why I no longer host dinner parties – – 🙂
2. Thorny, sticky, spiny, poinsonous plants strategically placed at perimeter fence lines, and under windows –
3. Panic room aka known as 100 year old root cellar with stairs so treacherous the ‘bad guys’ will fall and break their neck if they choose to come down them….
LOL – Have a good week!
Great list. Loving dogs are better than dinner parties any day of the week 🙂 Your panic room sounds first rate. I’d like to hear more about it.
LOL. Shakey concrete block steps descending to dug by hand root cellar with half-high block walls all the rest dirt. Entrance only available once past the dog and heaving heavy floor door out and up. LOL. Aka food storage area. 🙂
Sounds good. Stay safe.
