Well, That's One Thing I Hadn't Thought Of.


Some of you may remember when I asked about marketing discreet services and thanks to someone who I cannot remember, I have gone much more overt with my marketing. Don't have much on my website about it yet but I'm getting there.

However, I thought it was cool when I got a visit from someone in Monaco. Serious inquiry for someone looking to do some work in his new-to-be house. Not sure where the house is, but...

Anyway, I also got a visit from someone in Tehran, Iran. Now that I didn't expect. No correspondence but I am curious as to what they were looking for. 6+ minutes on the site on the security construction section. Not much to see but I got to thinking about how much I will put up on the site. This is not there to help someone from that part of the world. I have also gotten visits from India, Brazil, and some other places.

Damn, I just build secret rooms. I guess i have to think about what I put up and who 'may' be interested in it.

They're looking for ideas Maybe some oil sheik will want to fly you and your tools over to work. Better dust off your passport.

Rory, what are you, Portumagese or something? Brazilian? Who the hell speaks Brazillian except Brazillians and Portugese? Don't tell me you're a floater who came over from the old country.

Building secret rooms is a great idea.

Building secret rooms for people that come terrorist nations scares the hell out of me.
