Browse Forums Building A New House Re: darrells house build 22Mar 26, 2011 2:06 pm Hey darrell, Just a word to the wise. Either take down the pictures of your house plans or crop out the side bit which has the details such as lot number and address. There are some disreputable people who use this info to either still stuff from the building site or then have a full plan of your house which makes it easier to break into when completed. Yes it may be a little bit overprotective, but my guess is that you have a bit of importance attached to the house and your stuff.
