After accumulating mostly small projects around the old house, I decided it was time to get 'er done. Last month I found a handyman to repair leaky faucets, unclog a slow shower drain and install 3 replacement ceiling fans. He'll be coming back sometime in October to replace the bottom of a kitchen cabinet damaged by a drain leak and diagnose/repair our mystery water leak in the garage. I just wrapped up day 2 of a 4 day install of surveillance cameras. I will soon be the proud owner of 7 hi-def cameras with a state-of-the-art dvr and software package so if a leaf moves at my house I will have a quality image of it, including alerts on my phone. I truly did not know how many miles of cable 7 cameras need, nor how difficult it was to route around A/C ducts, water pipes, etc. Note: when contracting for surveillance camera work, pick the smallest contractor because he can make it through the tight spaces. My guy is definitely jockey size and has a waiting list. Next up is repair and re-stain my front and back decks, followed by adding crown molding throughout the house, replacing all interior doors and complete interior repaint. THEN we bring in the big guns and remodel our two bathrooms to bring them out of the 50's. In true YM fashion, we will not incur any debt for these projects. Except, perhaps, my bail bond when I take out the next fool who puts a "We Buy Ugly Houses" hangtag on my front door  |

Good for you for finding the way to do all that and getting it done (pun intended LOL). And paying cash, to boot!
But I have to wonder, why on earth do you need 7 surveillance cameras?!

Debt, I live in an urban area - really good crime stats - but an urban area nonetheless. Home invasions, kick-ins, vehicle thefts, gun-point robberies; yes they happen. We totally love our urban environment with the diversity and cultural wealth it offers but we are not ignorant of the risks entailed in that offering. As a member of the board of directors of our civic association, I am perhaps more aware than most because I get text alerts on every reported crime. My cameras will give me some peace of mind, help reduce crime in my area and enhance my resale value. |
