Planning Mode

With my tyke looking for a bigger place to run around and with my Mom getting sickly perhaps due to the polluted air in the city, my husband and I realized we need to sit down and plan about what’s good for our family.

In an instant we thought that the best solution is for us to go back to the countryside and live in my parents’ house  where both my son and my mom could enjoy fresh air, a garden of vegetables Smiley and a big space for some kids’ sports.  We would only need to finish the hardwood floor installation in the new children’s room and we’re set to go.  But then going back there would pose a problem for my husband who works in the city and for my two nephews who study there, too, so we decided to stay in the city on weekdays and head back to the countryside on Friday night.

This set up, we thought, would be good enough for the time being until we realized that leaving our apartment on weekends might cause some troubles involving burglars.  It wasn’t long ago when thieves robbed the apartment next to us in broad daylight!  Yap, thieves come even during the day now (it’s one of the tips cops warn the community about when there’s a robbing incident).This makes leaving our apartment for three days and three nights not a sound idea.

But being techno-savvy as we are, we thought that the internet would have an answer to our big problem and voilà! we came across www.homesecurityteam.com – burglar alarm seems to be the best option. With this in mind I surfed the net a little more for alarm installation steps and tips and I am convinced my husband won’t regret cashing out some figures to buy the gadget.  After all, no amount of money could buy the peace of mind we would all have especially when our plan is about the ones we love.Smiley

Meanwhile, while we haven’t purchased anything here are a few tips which we have been observing whenever we leave the house for short travels:

1. Do not leave your valuables in locked drawers or vaults. Instead, hide them somewhere inconspicuous.

2.  Leave thumb tucks behind the doors and at windows. Burglars would definitely make loud sound when they stepped on them, which in turn would call the neighbor’s attention.Smiley

3.  Make sure all the windows and doors are properly locked. Make someone else double check on these after you’ve done it. Also make sure that the doors and windows installation are still in good shape.

4.  Do not leave a key duplicate anywhere. If everyone’s leaving the house, who would need a duplicate?

These simple steps have worked for us so far, but if we would leave our apartment on a regular basis the robbers in the place would definitely know when we’re not around so I guess I really have to check which burglar alarm system is suitable for our need.

Do I hear dollars being cashed out this time? Smiley Smiley
