“Very, very, very, very BAD advice for my neighborhood. And our place. We have an unwelcoming committee.”

hehehehe

At my old house, my mom lives there now, in El Paso we have a bomb shelter. The guy that built the house was an engineer at White Sands Missile range during the 50’s.

The room is 18’ by 20’ by 8 feet high. It has 4 fresh air vents with air exchangers and filters. A 100 gallon water tank that the pipes for the sprinkler system run through so its always fresh. The top of the shelter is 20 feet below ground level. The top entrance is a steel box with a roll back lid made from concrete reinforced 1” steel plate.

At the bottom of the stairs is the main door which is lead lined concrete encased in 2” steel plate. By my calculations the door weighs in at about 1.7 tons. The hinge on the door is a sealed unit about as big around as my fore arm.

I say let em come...
