Just get a dog and encourage him or her to bark at (note: not attack)
intruders. You get a lovable companion without having to detract from your
exterior aesthetic or feeling like a prisoner in your own house.
Dogs naturally bark at "intruders" to alert the alpha dog (i.e. you) to
"come check this out." When my dogs bark, I make a point of getting up to
look at whatever they are barking at. Regardless of whether it's anything
to worry about or not (usually not -- mail carrier putting things through
the mail slot is a big one), I make a point of praising them for letting me
know about it. I've never had a problem with continuous barking for no
reason, because they settle down once I go look, satisfied they've done
their job.
As a result, I never wonder about noises in the house at night if the dogs
aren't worked up about them.

|
| Any advice or price estimates welcome. (We're doing the first floor (10
| windows) and 4 basement windows.) I know it's all dependant on how large
| the windows are, which decorative elements we select, etc. I'm just
| looking for a ball park estimate that others have paid for something
| similar and if anyone has had a really good or bad experience with a
| particular company.
