A major job promotion required me to relocate to Montpelier all the way from Boston in 2007. What with the shaky economy, we decided as a family that I accept the promotion and we say hello to Vermont.
Even if my raise gave us the opportunity to buy a larger home in a peaceful area, I still wanted to get a family safety kit of the most effective residential protection systems available since we were in unknown territory.
I began by having a wireless security system installed along with an entry alarm against glass breakage. I would emphasize that we got our son involved in building the family safety kit right off the bat.
This was so that Jude would be able to handle himself when he faces the world on his own. He was to internalize the importance of a family safety kit and search for protective gadgets with us.
As he grew up, I added to our set of safety measures. As he was seven, I bought a pool alarm to give us peace of mind every time he would go exploring. I also procured a driveway alarm for our newly acquired family vehicle.
My wife and I had been lifelong Bostonians up to that point, and having lived smack in the middle of a busy city, had complete appreciation for the importance of having a family safety kit against burglary, theft and potentially dangerous house help.
I remember us having personal travel alarms that doubled as window and door alarms when we were newly married, and also mini PIR alarms. The home alarms we chose for the new house were mainly motion-activated.
This new position keeps me so pre-occupied that in the wake of hiring help who works for us 24/7, we threw in hidden cameras, intruder alarms and diversion safes. Stocking up on residential security tools never seemed like a better idea than right now.
