slabs dont burn, however you stack them they turn to wooden blocks that do burn
build the whole house out of obsidian and steel doors
Just want to clear this up, "however you stack them they turn to wooden blocks that do burn" that is not true. Stacking slabs result in the same no burn as not stacking them. Oh and to stay on topic, why not make like six trap doors one leading to your house entrance underground and the other five leading to cactus. Or hell make it ten trap doors. I wish I could test it out for you but sadly no cactus for me LOL

"The struggle of survival is a war without end, and war – war never changes." -Ron Perlman in Fallout.
I've got griefed 2 times! When the server comes back on ill find somewhere very far, dig 20 blocks down in a mountain, make it my home, gather materials, make a hidden staircase which you cover in grass, and greifer's will have a hard time finding it! Now, let's hope they don't go on minecraft forums and see this post :/ or my youtube videos :/ ah well all the greifer's think I'm too lame to be a good youtuber ;(
My house is in the ocean - I farm everything underground, and the secret entrance is heavily trapped with pitfalls, lava traps, water traps, and traps that are a combination of those. My house cannot be seen from the shore, nor can the secret entrance be seen.
Very easily, I play offline But when I do play online it is only with a buddy from work so if he griefed me he would pay the price that next morning when I grief his desk by putting his head through it.
Well, you can't really grief proof your house completely. I always hide my goods though. Wait for a silk touch pickaxe, get a redstone ore, and place them as decoration in my house behind one wall, which I almost always put next to a hill or cliff, I add a bud switch with a door, connected to the random red stone ore. Thus, your house has no secret room, until you randomly punch a redstone ore. Works like a charm. I think once you see the ones around the house in obvious places noone thinks of them as out of place. Let me know if you guys want me to do a video explaining this!

1. I usually play offline, so if I'm playing with others, it's on local splitscreen where I can see what they're up to by merely glancing over at their section of the TV screen.
2. As a result, it goes without saying that I only play with people I can trust, since those are the only people I would invite into my living room to play with me.
3. Before playing with anyone, I backup my world to a USB stick, so if something happens all that would be lost is just whatever was done since the backup was made.
4. On the rare occasions I do play online, "invite only" is a must.
5. As a result, I don't have to construct my house with any secrets or traps.
I don't even try to stop people from griefing. I save before ANYONE joins my world. Anyone I don't know anyway, I only really play with people I know and people I trust. I had a problem last year where people would jack my diamonds. An obsidian room with a hidden door connected to a combination lock fixed that problem.
I make a house under ground and use mob spawners as security guards. A switch with glowstone stops the spawner and I can kill the mobs with a secret lava flow switch. When I leave the house through a secret exit I just turn the spawners on and anyone coming close activates my security.

sorry but your wrong, half my house burnt down as a result of it
The burn characteristics of wooden slabs has recently changed. I've discovered that I can now use them as fuel in a furnace and they will disappear after being lit with a flint and steel (even though the flame burns 1/2 block above the slab rather than right on it).
