I’m a bit short, wonder what kind of loan I could get?

The question to ask is it still on/in the targeting grid.

[redfreedom]

No thanks.

Any confined facility, be it a bunker, ship, cave, tank or a silo like this is a death trap. Whether trapped by fire, or the enemy or whatever.

I used to work in the Minute Man ones and came to realize just to keep the crew alive there needs to be fresh air down there, a special sewage system that lifts it to the top, and much more. This silo likely has it, but it’s going to be expensive to operate, especially if the parts are antiques.

And let’s say someone buys it for that SHTF scenario. It’s then a trap. Ask Saddam, ask Hitler, ask the Japanese soldiers of WWII and the Afghan ones about their caves. You can’t because they were all trapped and wound up dead due to their lack of mobility.

I wonder if it takes two keys to get in the front door.

[beethovenfan]

Sounds like a lot of up and down stairs.

[grey_whiskers]

Two words.

Wet.

Moldy.

That’s cool! But who decorated that place? A home stager from the salvation army?-)

From the article:

“Alongside a diesel generator, the couple have sought to make the property environmentally friendly and have established two sets of four solar panels that contribute to the property’s energy”

Nothing says environmentally friendly like a diesel generator.

Problem. The silo is still a target as the Russians have not updated their maps..... BOOM!

that place is still basically a dump ... if you look closely, you’ll see that the “renovation” work is very crude, poorly executed, and unimaginative ... this place is the very opposite of a luxury property ...

i can’t imagine anyone in their right mind with $3.2 million to spend on an estate mansion would touch this thing with a 10 mile pole ...
