I have a sign on my door that says don't knock, the baby is sleeping. I have another sign that says no soliciting, we're not interested, etc.

We have a camera doorbell....nobody rings it. They knock, my dogs bark, my kid wakes up. I get pissed.

The next stupid idiot that knocks on my door is going to get a full, unfiltered, pissed off tirade. I don't care if we go to church together, I don't care if you're my neighbor, I don't care if you're selling solar. READ THE SIGNS! DON'T KNOCK ON MY DOOR!

People are so stupid. Rant over.

I'm going to have to make a bigger don't knock sign and post up a no trespassing sign. I would setup a motion activated sprinkler, but I don't want to hit package handlers/delivery drivers.

Does anyone have any suggestions for weather proofing the sign I'm going to make? Some osb or plywood, stencils, rattle can, and a clear coat are about all I know of to get it done.

The sad reality of it is, signs are only good for the people that read and acknowledge them (as you’ve unfortunately had to live). I work in the safety and compliance world (everyone’s favorites! 😆) and see it every day!

I have LITERALLY had someone slip and fall right in front of a “Slippery Surface” type sign…..

The sad truth of it is that signs and notifications tend to blend in to the rest of the environment, and largely go unheeded, especially if it is a frequent visitor to that “site”…..

My advice? Maybe make it more noticeable (like flashing LED’s) when baby is sleeping? Or, as already posted….. “No Warning Shots Will Be Fired”. Or something similar……🤩

Good luck, and I can vividly remember the days when my kids were babies (sleeping), and the city ABSOLUTELY thought that they had to get in to do an “assessment” of the property…….. to inevitably increase property tax……😒😢
 
Perusing the GD with your morning coffee can often be very entertaining! Case in point, I just came across a post about making Kukris so I urge Nathan to follow these tried and tested methods, instead of stressing over it all by going super high-tech. I hope that Nathan's knees hold up as he'll be squatting down. I will gift him a fez to complete the look!

That tea pot is multi faceted, I'll have you know! For quenching, making hot water for tea plus warming the buds of the poppy plant for extracting opium. I've been told :p

If you gave me a cool fez I would wear it everyday for the rest of my life.

And if we're talking teapot and opium too? Dude you're on the list.
