(I am also in the National Guard). 

Has anyone ever hired a 24-hour guard to keep watch?

What we found to work up until flooring goes in is getting a real guard dog (around $100 per week) to be there nights and weekends. 

Additionally as I attended a military college I accepted a commission to serve as an officer in the Army National Guard.

 We just heard back from one of our clients about One Guard Home Warranty.

I am a former Marine and a member of the Oregon Army National Guard.  

Prices are super cheap which causes out of state folks to let their guard down.

The inspector recommended I get a licensed HVAC engineer to check it.Other things are ---Open mortar joists/loose spalled brick at the chimney, loose shingles on dormer---Several windows painted shut sash cords missing, non-operable, rear deadbolt "keyed only" should have thumb turn for emergency egressloose/ flaking paint, possible lead-based paint---Cracked concrete at entry porch,--missing guard rail at rear steps,--several downspouts missing splash blocks/draining too close to the house---Grading is flat to sloping toward foundation additional top soil/grade modification may be needed---Suggested GFCI protected outlets at all wet locations as a safety improvement---Discoloration on floor joists in the basement, have evaluated for cleaning, possible treatment---Garage needs to be repaired completely.

I’ll be moving to HTX in a few months to serve a 3 year national guard contract.
