Regarding window security, if the PVC pipe isn't desirable for you or doesn't work on your window(s), consider thumb screw channel locks on all your windows, horizontal and vertical alike. Once in position, remove locks and drill a 1/8 inch hole, just a little, at the mark the thumb screw made, thus allowing the thumb screw to slightly enter the frame work. Install a two-thumb screw lock in for your sliding doors.
Exterior Lighting-Some people want to light up the whole exterior of their house as this gives them a sense that they can see everything or that maybe burglars would feel apprehensive about breaking in, Well.... daylight doesn't prevent them from their nefarious activities, why should a light? Law enforcement officers advise that Motion Sensored lighting is best as if the light is on - someone or something made that happen - if the light is off - someone is frozen like a statue or no one is there. Constant lighting doesn't give you this so consider changing your exterior lighting.
Interior Lighting - Sam's club carries a 3 pack of plug-in night light/flash light combinations for under $6.00 plus tax. The are L.E.D. lights and take hardly any electricity at all. Imagine what you'd be willing to pay if you needed a light and didn't have it. You can navigate throughout the house with the nightlight feature; however, if the power goes out or a circuit break occurs, these little dynamos are charged sufficiently to guide you through the darkness of night, inside or out, safely.
Keep the faith!
