Hi, Bill.  Half of Washington, DC is at one of the nearby beaches, and we're seeing everything from supercharged alarm systems to motion detectors on front porches that set off recordings of vicious dog growls. Your approach is a bit simpler and quite smart.

Great post and valuable tips to follow when you have to leave town. Thanks for sharing the tips I hope you have a great afternoon.

Bill Primavera These are very good tips to protect a home while away.

I think it's so important to have a house sitter when going on vacation. A smart investment when traveling out of town for sure.

Bill, absolutely great tips on what to do to keep your home safe while away.   I have several timers and doesn't look any different than when I am home.
