We talk about survival and prepardness what about the home?

However, if you lack reception it doesn't matter. No amount of pushing the buttons will connect you.

That's what I meant by cell phones don't work at our house.... no signal. (Technically speaking cell phones don't get signal for at least 6 miles in this region.) Wife has one, daughter has one, neither of them get any signal at the house. I don't own a cell phone, haven't really justified a need for one being that I rarely have to leave the area.

Sold some tires to a guy on Craig's List last year, I kept offering directions but he kept insisting he has some badass 400g something or other insert ridiculously priced electronic gizmo of a phone here... He refused to believe that no matter how uberwicked he thought his phone was, it simply wouldn't work here...... Late in the evening he eventually called from the top of Crow Hill (12 miles away) and I gave him directions.... Could have saved him lots on gas LOL.

I know some folks who live near the South Site. There is no cell service there. However, they just installed some gizmo in their house that acts as cell repeater or something. I don't have much info, don't know if it works through the internet or what. But you simple tell it what cell numbers are allowed to use it and bingo, you have cell service.

I'll ask them what it is and update...

Good thread. One other component that wasn't covered: Hairy has really learned to enjoy his job "patrolling":

Absolutely.
Consider removing the BOD sign. This opens you up liability wise, since you have acknowledged there is a "viscous" dog in residence.

Darn, I thought by having it up, I might have some protection if an idiot reached over the fence and got chomped... I also thought it might act as a deterrent, even if he's not out. I see your point though. Hmmm.

Ins companies consider dogs "attractive nuisances". Kids just want to pet fido, and of course condition white mom has no problem with allowing "young diggs" to put his "precious" face right in your dogs nose.

We had a BOD sign up, once, my ins agent who also liked guns was over. He told me about "knowing" you have a viscous animal and the liability you opened yourself up to. We err on the side of caution, Our dogs would never bite or attack anyone. Just ask the neighborhood kids, from infant to teenager

Good info, thank you. What if I put up a "Beware of Homeowner" sign?

I'd be interested in knowing what this is too.
