Description

🔗 Everything I check on a house, room by room, written down: https://roycallahanbooks.com/ 15 Habits That Make Your House Look Occupied Even When You're Not A house speaks before anyone touches the door, and most people never learn to read what theirs is saying. Roy Callahan spent eighteen years installing security systems and video doorbells before he started reviewing break-in footage with local police departments, and what separated the houses that got hit from the ones next door was rarely the alarm sticker in the window. In this video he breaks down fifteen habits that keep a house looking lived in, from the porch light timer everyone sets wrong to the one detail about your own routine that gives more away than any of them. Small changes, most costing under twenty dollars, that close the gap between a house that's occupied and one that's just holding furniture until the owners get back.
