I know for certain the water meter is electronic.<br /><br />I also have a series of annunciators set up around the house that alert us to the presence of someone or something in the driveway, walkways and other areas. Still, it is not 100% guarantee that the UPS guy won't be at the door while you're crossing the hallway to the bathroom at shower time..... Has it happened to me yet? I don't think so. Paranoia has it's advantages. ;) Great story. Sing loud and proud.

But then I always looked at my bills and made note of their next scheduled reading. LOL Since we lock both gates one each side of the house, it would be rather hard for someone just to walk in. We use to have a neighbor lady that did that, before we had a fence installed. She walked into the family room, kitchen is right off the family room, which we have now made it all open, utility room with a stool and sink is off the kitchen, she comes waltzing through and Abe was sitting on the toilet in the utility room with the door open, she walke right through, said hi Abe, and kept on coming out into the kitchen. I told him, that's what he got for leaving the door standing open. I had been trying to get him to stop that, since we had four small kids in and out all the time. Finally what we would do, if we were still sitting at the table, finishing up supper, and he went in to pee, even with the door shut, we could hear it all, because he never ran water or flushed as he was going, so the kids and I would all applaud, after a couple of time doing that, he was more careful. LOL All of our meters now are the electronic type, so I don't have to make note of their next reading. I think i would put my exercise table in the room with the treadmill. Beautiful day here, yesterday was also, blue skies, fluffy clouds and temp is about 75. AC hasn't kicked on, so apparently the house is still cool enough. For some reason this brick house seems to build up heat, and by late afternoon between 4 and 7 it gets really warm. In winter that is the time it seems to really chill. We've added more insulation, but it didn't seem to do much. Have a great week-end.Pattyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16106461789118388241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-86231687779778371192011-05-20T19:14:50.005-05:002011-05-20T19:14:50.005-05:00You really out did yourself on this one.
