I'm thinking of seeing what I need to do to add one here. In the basement.

Scott, we did an add-on to our cabin about 3 years ago. I asked the builder if while he is here pouring concrete, if he could build a small "bait-house" to keep all the fishing stuff. He said "no problem, but if you want I can build a solid concrete room with concrete top with storm-shelter specs.Solid steel door with triple storm locks, breathing tubes. From the outside it won't look like a storm-shelter. i will make it look like it matches the new part of your cabin with the same stone veneer attached to storm shelter exterior wall and a metal roof on top of the concrete storm shelter top to match cabin.."
