Bomb Shelter

New House:































Here are the promised Bomb Shelter pics. They are only TEASER pics. The ACTUAL Bomb Shelter picture will come later. Consider it a trailer of sorts, a preview, the inside flap.

Hatch (submarine-like entry/exit) in the backyard. This is a bird's eye view of the hatch. Anyone watch Lost? I don't, but people have told me it reminds them of the show. Alternative entrance is in the garage floor, literally the garage floor. That's the one I use. 














Garage Entrance, Stairs & Hallway. Here, you are underground. Those stairs go back up to the garage floor. Notice the reinforced steel and concrete. This is NOT the actual Bomb Shelter, only the stairs and hallway that lead to it.














Off to take pictures of the real McCoy. Til next time...

  1. Cute house! So far the bomb shelter's not too bad. :) It's a lot different than the ones I've been researching in England during WWII.

    When's the baby due?

  3. Beautiful new home, Tracy!
    The bomb shelter is definitely intriguing. It may be a great writing pad!
    Your wife and you must be so anxious about the baby coming! Enjoy your new home and the special time coming!

  6. That hatch is so "Lost." I'm totally jealous.

    Are you kind of, just a little bit, hoping there will be a war just so you can be all "I've got a bomb shelter and you don't?"

    Because I think I would be.

    Did the bomb shelter come fully stocked with non-perishables?

    God, I have so many questions. This is probably the most exciting thing to happen to me in like a week.

  7. PMM - it is bizarre in all its glory. No perishables. But it came fully stocked with arachnids, including Black Widows.
