I didn’t have a wooden peg to push the tacks through, so I have used a plastic peg with metal clips wrapped around the peg opening. Also, I couldn’t find fishing line to use for the trip wire, so I had to use some other line, but it still works well.

    Harmon, I think this would be fairly tricky to set up…it must have taken you a while to make that contact switch device and get it all working. I thought the demo was positively theatrical. Thanks.

  13. Improvising for alternative material takes smarts. You did a good job.

  14. Well Done!! I am impressed, So when can we startup a business!

  15. Wow!! You can build me an alarm any day.

    I pity the burglar that gets into your house Harmon. Another thoughtful innovation of your burglar alarm. Well done.

    Awesome work..

  22. Neta Shea says:

    I might take you up on that one and set it up at our place. Simple but effective even with the substituted bits.

  23. Garth Wong says:

    Wow, I’m impressed with your understanding of electrical circuits and your initiative to use alternate parts to construct your trip alarm. I know some adult friends who can’t even install a battery door bell for their front door!!
