so.... I'm sure most of us would love to have our unreasonable halves appreciate the idea of having a bunker or back-up emergency shelter.. you know.. the man cave.

we all know that 98.9% of them would rather spend that cash on shoes and other stupid stuff that women think are totally necessary for survival. (yuck).

Last night the local news program did a piece on bunkers and how only the rich (we know better though) have them and the rest of us are unworthy (it was more a piece on inequality, but they forget about the internet). they were trying to hype up the December 2012 end of world crap... blah, blah blah. so my unreasonable and not often very logical wife asks me 'are they really 2 million dollars?' nope, some people build them on the down low with very little money or effort, but you can invest all you want in something like this. 'Oh' 'let's build one'

hot damn! now I need to buy my own lot... screw the rent thing. never expected to hear that from my wife,, or anyone's wife.. such unpredictable creatures they are..
the news program is the Peruvian equivalent to 60 minutes and we did argue about a few things they reported, but not bunkers.

Cool.

lucky me she is 'cool' about a lot of things and has a short memory... what do you mean? where did I get that gun? I've had it all along, don't you remember?

she now has a Ruger Bear Cat to take out when we go shooting. she hasn't actually shot it yet, but I know for a fact that it does a fine job at killing 'coons.

Either she has wrecked the car or is out of closet space and will have you put in access to the bunker from the master bedroom

Agreed it will be all good until DW wants to use it and finds it will be full of one day sale items, last seasons shoes, old dolly mags and all the stuff she put in boxes he hasnt been able to find in the last five years because her indoors has tidied up LOL

Reminds me of the time that she-who-must-be-obeyed accompanied me to the gun store. She saw me lovingly fondling a new handgun and said, "I think that should follow you home today." I put my hands softly on her shoulders, looked deep into her eyes, and said, "Who the hell are you, and what have you done with my wife?!?"

Since the renovations have started (see facebook for pictures), we've moved into the basement - semi-bunker. Actually our 2nd floor bedrooms are okay, but the living area and kitchen (galley) are now in the basement. Sort of "bunkerish". Not the way I want to live for any real length of time. It has given me ideas though of re-enforcing the part that furtherest underground for a potential strong hold, last ditch bunker. Wouldn't take much as three walls are foundation and well underground. I'd only have to shore up the forth wall and the door.

What about the ceiling?

Guess I got it wrong, all this time I thought the whole idea of having a bunker was to get AWAY from the wife.

Somebody's got to cook and clean. (Then the fight broke out.)

CEILING: Oh yeah. Forgot about that. Since the floor above is being replaced, maybe I should see what a layer of hardened steel would cost.
