You must live in a really tiny house.
Moderate size, 3100 sq ft. I guess if I am completely against the wall of my family room, I am 15 or so feet away from one of my airborn missile launching systems. Take the good with the bad I guess but that occasion is not going to come up unless I am washing the inside of the windows.
I have 10.25 acres that borders a nice creek...and several hundred acres of hardwoods and swamp. My house sits at dead end of road. I see no one and hear no one...except for the coyotes, deer, coons, and a massive ass owl. 15 mins from downtown Atl.
It is around 800 square feet counting the part that goes into the hill below grade...dirt floor....nothing but storage and shelter in that section.
I gave 25 grand for it and the land. It is paid for.
Yep....it is small. Cheap as dirt to cool/heat...and tornado proof. I don't spend much time inside anyway...plus I travel for a living.
While it may be small...at least I didn't lose my ass when the market crashed. At least I ain't paying hundreds of bones a month to cool space no one ever would use.
I can sit in my kitchen with a single shot 12 gA and a pocket full of #4 and own my house. Ain't nobody coming in here without my consent unless they are really good..in tactics and strategy. I have one in my bedroom and one behind the freezer in the kitchen.
God help anyone I have to go out in the dark and find with mini 30 and the dogs. I know this terrain better than anyone...except my dogs. They will die tired and bewildered as to just how I found their ass so fast.
Your turn.
