if i see a gun, i'm running into the house and calling 911. they can have the plants if they can escape with them. but i'm dealing with kids here. stupid, stupid fucking kids. they stole veg plants and hid them somewhere that got found the next day.
the pup is a mastiff/great dane/coonhound mix. his bark is loud and intimidating, when we wrestle he will grab for my arm to take me down, and if he is not dead asleep he will go into protection mode.
i can stop sleeping out there after i figure out how to build a security system, just need to figure out the resistors, transformers, and whatnot. the idea is to wrap the greenhouse in wire that they would have to cut to gain entrance. the wire is on a closed circuit and when cut open for access turns on the alarm. i finally have a good schematic, it's just a matter of buying the right materials now.
