Thank you for the thoughtful answer! As I was typing this up... a guy came and took 5k from me with a 12 pack of water 
Although, I'm using similar builds when I get completely robbed, so it's kind of nice to see the weaknesses of my house. I don't build those weaknesses the next time around

Personally, the ingenuity of the game is what led me to buy it. Why not just make it completely equal and remove electronics? Because it's boring.
If you want to ban a trap. Ban this one: http://castledraft.com/editor/7Gyy1I (This is pure example, I'm not actually suggesting that anything needs to be banned... I like the game the way it is.)
That trap is cheap enough to spam all throughout your house. Ultimately, it's your choice to turn the corner. If this trap is in the middle of the path to the vault, and you've passed 5 commit gates and you have a pit bull on your back, it was your decision to come this far. It's your risk. It always is. Even if it's only on the first step,there is always a point where you can turn back and say "Nah, I'm good."
It's like chess. Everyone has the same pieces. You just have to hope your defense is better than their attack and that your attack is better than their defense.

I had over $14000. I was trying out some new electrical shenanigans and replaced all electrical grids with indicator lights........... at least I thought. It was 1 AM, I wasn't paying attention and fried myself. It wasn't even supposed to be the real test run. I love this game
I've started from scratch, and I'm steadily making more money due to deaths in my house. I just hope I'm able to keep the money. I don't know if there are any special strategies to ensuring that large amounts of cash are safe in your house? At the moment, I just keep using my money for improvements, and I always try to keep the cost of going through my house brute force more expensive than the money you would actually get from my vault or wife. But, I'm always nervous that someone might roll up in my house with 20 saws, 20 bottles of water, and just lay waste to my house.
Are there any strategies or traps, that anyone would be willing to disclose that would help with this? I look at the maps of pros and I'm absolutely astounded by their efficiency with space. Not a square goes to waste.
Thanks in advance for the help and suggestions!
