Keeping your mansion safe (giveaway)

 photo FirstAlertLogo_zps3c387953.jpg

YIKES.

I thought I was protected, I really did. I have LifeLock protecting my identity, and I buy insurance for my home. What ELSE do I really need?

A LOT MORE!

While there are some things that are easily replaceable, what about all of the things that once they’re gone….they’re gone? I was thinking about some of the papers that I keep in a shoebox (yes, a shoebox) like:

  • My grandfather’s “papers” from when he emigrated to the United States as a child
  • Ben’s first pair of baby shoes
  • My grandmother’s jewelry
  • Birth certificates, wills, marriage certificates that are NO LONGER on record

If we ever had a fire, I’d never see any of those again.

Without spending a fortune to protect the mansion (armed guards are NOT an option), I began looking at simple things that I can do to protect what I have.

 Safe 

With 380,000 residential fires, flooding that causes $2 billion in property damage and 4.1 million households being burglarized, the SIMPLEST way to protect those papers and baby shoes that I have is with a digital safe that is water and fire proof. I’ve got the First Alert 2087DF Digital Safe on it’s way – $299

Security Cameras 

Don’t go mooning the mansion, cause I’ll be able to see your  naked butt. OK, so that’s not what the security cameras are really for – go tell Mr. S that! When coupled with a DVR system you can view what’s going on from just about ANYWHERE via your smartphone. Choices range from wired or digital cameras, and even include NIGHT vision.

Smoke Alarms

Thankfully the ONLY time I’ve ever heard my smoke alarm go off was when I was cooking (yes, I’m MUCH better at reservations). At least I know that they work. A smoke alarm is ESSENTIAL in protecting your family. If I had the battery operated photoelectric Smoke Alarm from First Alert, I could have avoided the noise, as it detects slow burning fires, which cause a greater risk of smoke inhalation and reduces nuisance alarms from cooking smoke and shower steam.

Fire Extinguisher Spray

I keep one in my kitchen, as that’s probably the place I’ll most need it. I do keep a second one on hand that’s JUST for electrical fires as well. Tundra makes an affordable, powerful, effective, and easy to use.

    Absolutely love this website, awesome information here, would have been a little
    sceptical with regards to obtaining a steam shower unit
    for our home having said that the information and knowledge here sorted my head out, fantastic thanks
    for the tips

    Have a look at my web-site … insignia steam shower; http://www.agrisk.umn.edu,

    gone through the information on this site loads, hoping to take the plunge soon enough
    and purchase a steam shower cabin, more than likely in the aftermath
    of the holiday season
