Today WW2 started. Swords into plowshares kind of thing going with this.

I probably screwed up the HTML code for posting pics. My bad. Those flats look pretty zombie apocalypse proof to me.

WW2 history ping.

Reminds me of stories of people in the middle ages moving into the footprint of abandoned fortresses to live.

I have seen some pretty neat homes on Tybee Island, Georgia, made of Endicott-era gun emplacements. And there is a really great home on Sullivan’s Island, SC, made out a WWII era 16” gun emplacement, and another built on top of post-civil war ammo magazine.

OK, just for the record, I never, ever, ever want to live in a bunker.

I just don't have warm, fuzzy memory associations with those things. ;-)

Interesting. Thanks for the post.

I’m curious as to the motivation to remodel/renovate these bunkers vs. demolishing them & build a more appropriate building.

I suppose the thick concrete walls insulate well, but they also waste space. Plumbing, A/C, & electrical installation & modifications would seem to be a problem.
