There's always that SOMETHING that hasn't been planned for, or taken into account. No shortage of things waiting to get ya!


Absolutely. The only way to insure your safety would cost more money than most can afford. I always tell my wife that if I won the lotto, our shelter would be accessible from the house and outside. It would be 50 ft. deep with oxygen tanks, refrigerators, emergency power, etc. But for $2,600 you can get darn close to being as safe as one can be within reason. By the way, I'd love to have a basement. What a great Man Cave I could make out of that!!!! LOL! wink
