    the past few months & super storms have caused me to think about safe rooms

    i have kicked around several ideas, various components, looked at several different tested structures


    if i was by myself and a dog it would be a plastic tank from tractor supply buried in the earth(500.00 plus excavation)

    this morning i found the following page

    http://www.huts.com/Huts%27sBallisticTest.htm


    i did a quick run on the materials--looks like a 5 x 10 x 6 high could be built for 1500.00 or thereabouts

    this would be the gyp board and osb with concrete filled voids

    Bury it deep and have a piece of spiral culvert down to it with one of those old buried butane tank lids on top. Matter of fact when I die just bury me in it. lol
