I can sleep a bit easier now

Thank you to everyone who commented about my lock and key issue yesterday. In the comments Teddy Rose said "do not pass go, do not stop to collect $200, do not blog, get the locks changed now, as in yesterday!"

I'm telling you, I could do with that $200 right about now. Today I took the day off at work, and the locksmith came and changed every lock in the house that could be changed, as well as adding one to the garage door. So, several hour and $600 later, we are feeling a little more secure.

I may have to replace two screen doors and maybe look at some kind of security system, but for now, anyone using the old keys won't be able to get into the house at all, and that is the main thing.

  7. How scary Marg! I am glad you were able to get the locks changed so you could nip that little criminal in the bud. If you can't feel safe in your own home, where can you feel safe?
    I hope the rest of your week goes well--
    *smiles and hugs to you*

  11. As others have said, peace of mind is definitely worth $600! It's still a large smack of money, but at least you can sleep and feel safe(r) now!

  14. I'm sorry that it cost so much but you can't put a price on you, Marg. Locks are replaceable but you aren't!

    I kind of wonder if it was a homeless person just going in for a snooze? Hmm..

    I don't know about there but here you can get a free monitored security system if you sigh up for so many years of monitoring. Usually 2-3 years. It's about $30 per month.
