Thanks for all of your wonderful feedback. We have a spare truck parked in the driveway, as our realtor was kind enough to lend our hers. We would love to get a dog, but think that it would disrupt our cats, and we love our two girls.

I know time will heal. We love it out here, the mountains and peace and quiet are so special. We believe as they are doing a lot of building out here that it was probably subcontractors, and very likely that it was one that was actually in our house. They knew our schedule (how naive of us), as usually we would have them come to the house on Fridays when Laurie was off.

The issue will be helped by the fact that Laurie will be working out of the house very soon. But still, we like to go on vacation frequently and thus we are not sure what we are going to do. You know, I don't want to create a "Fort Knox" here. Sure gates and fences will help, and can be done tastefully not to disturb the views and such. But still, it is just so hard.

Thanks taking the time to share and give advice. We so appreciate it...

Lisa & Laurie
