maybe you should install a panic room a fallout shelter and live in fear for the rest of your life that someone is going to invade your private home . If youre going to do anything then secure the house from anyone being able to gain access to your home and valuables , like video surveillance and home security system that is monitored 24 hours a day by a reputable alarm company. geeeez !!!

Call an electrician.
Most electrical modification in your home needs to be certified by a master electrician.
besides, if you don't know what you are doing, you could get seriously injured.
