TIP: PEEKING NO MORE YOU, SOLICITORS!

I live in an apartment complex that even though we have "No Solicitors" signs put up in almost every corner, we still have solicitors knocking on doors.  I guess the signs are meant to be ignored???  :-)

Anyway, Marcel has this "trick" that he implemented to help me avoid solicitors while he was still traveling for work.  He wanted me to feel safe in checking the door before opening it without the other person knowing whether I am home or not.

For this trick, you will need:
1) Peephole
2) Sticky note
3) Black marker

How you do it:

1) Find the peephole you want to cover. 

2) Using the black marker, color the sticky note.  Make sure the area you color is big enough to cover the peephole.

3) Place the sticky note on the door.  I guarantee that the peephole will look pitch dark from the outside even though you have your lights on at night.  And when someone knocks on your door, you can lift up the bottom side of the sticky note and peek through the hole without him/her knowing if someone at home or not.  Make sure you do not lift the sticky note up too high like my picture below.  The picture was meant for demonstration only.  :-)

May you find this tip helpful!
