- Affordable Fallout Shelters? - 7 Updates
| Tim@noneofyourbiz.com: Feb 04 11:21PM -0600 Does anyone know of any plans for an affordable Fallout Shelter? I've found plans online, but they are very complex and probably cost more than I paid for my home to build them. Being retired and on a fixed income, I simply can not afford something like those. However, since Trump is in the Whitehouse, there has never been a better and more important time to prepare for the inevitable. I'm sure there are ways to build cost effective shelters. After all, safety is not just reserved for the rich. (Except in Trumps fantasy world). |

Besides, what with turnover, the neighbors probably don't know about the old shelter. -- Cheers, Bev "I believe that forgiving [terrorists] is God's function.

My first real job -- the director of the lab spent a LOT of time away from work supervising its construction. We snickered.

I saw photos of one which was converted by a very rich person into a very luxurious home. I don't think they put them in desirable places, though. -- Cheers, Bev "I read somewhere that 77 per cent of all the mentally ill live in poverty.

Right, because it would make so much sense for a guy with a multibillion dollar investment in real estate to start a nuclear war.

OTOH, the Zoning People aren't likely to approve -- the shitheads get upset if I park on the "lawn" in my front yard. -- Cheers, Bev "When I was a kid my dad once joked that the best way to prevent being on a plane with someone carrying a bomb would be to bring your own bomb and not detonate it.
