Just remember, booby traps are a lawyers delight. You could own nothing if
someone gets hurt.

Well, I spent today putting up 40' of fencing that was sitting on the
table when the thieves took what they took. I have been traveling for
the last month, and the project was in progress.

I have put the wife on notice that I will not engage in any other
remodeling, projects, or bull**** until I have MY area secured to MY
satisfaction. ( I was doing many other things other than what I needed
to do for Steve.)

I am paying attention to putting things away under lock and key, and
quitting 30 minutes before quitting time to do so.

I have declared "The Sanford Yard", as it has come to be known, as My
Domain, and not subject to the CC and R's usually required for the rest
of the house for any improvement/project instigated by me. (her projects
have no such srutinizing panel) Now, I don't ask, I don't tell, and I
don't CARE!

Ideas that I had to secure the area before this were trumped by Dearly
Beloved, and the results were predictable. Now, I have found a screen on
the house that was jimmied, but not able to get in. I will show her
that, and then she will be as incensed as I am, as now it has infringed
on HER sacred sanctuary. (Guys, take the hint. Do what you know needs
to be done, and just listen to the bitching.)

It has been a long day. I got a lot done. I have a lot more to do,
about 80' more of block wall topping wrought iron fence. Two eight foot
gates. Extensions to existing fences/walls in other places. I am not
fortifying, just doing it right like it needed to be done from day one.

When I am done, I am going to put in some booby traps that will bring
blood and break bones. Anyone out there that ain't supposed to be there
will just have to cope.


Cliff,
Good point. A sad point but true. I heard a rumor of a burglar suing a
homeowner. Seems the crook fell down the stairs while robbing the poor guys
house. Complaint was the light bulb was out.

Not sure of the outcome was or even if it was true. Would not surprise me,
and is not something that I would want to go through. Although it should be
obvious that we should add the judge and lawyer to the list of crooks.

Than again recent story about he the property owner down on the Mexican
border who lost his property. Seems he detained some illegals as they were
crossing the border. Judge granted the property to the illegal that sued
him. God forbid if there was a booby trap.
