[Woodcarver] Name on house?

[Joe Dillett]

I rarely put last names on house signs. Address numbers are most common.
Also first names are quite common, husband and wife and sometimes the kids.

Since I've been studying for my state licence in alarms and locksmith I
can't believe how easy it is to get into someone's home. New homes are
sometimes easier to break in than the old homes.

Some evenings when Sharon and I are relaxing watching TV we practice picking
locks. Our joke, to our kids, is there's no nursing home going to be able to
keep us in and if they lock the kitchen at night.. no problem....
