. Okay, we designed to convert a part of our master closet and spare bathroom into a 12x15 safe room. The door to the cellar is within the confines of this safe room it has 6" reinforced concrete walls and ceiling and a steel door. So now we have a 2 story safe room of 420 square feet less the 21 square feet of cellar door area. At the time, I thought this was way overkill. However, I learned a long time ago to say yes dear
. This is also our gun safe. Now, in case of a natural or man made disaster, we have a place large enough for us, food, guns, and ammo. Last year we install a Generac 16kW whole house generator that runs off NG and can be easily converted to LP. That in itself was, to me at least, the best investment of all of them. because of all of the power outages we have been having. An animal can urinate on a power pole and we lose power it seems
Now, we have a water dispenser in there and 30 gallons of water. However, at my shop, since we do the maintenance on the a/c at a lot of communication stations, cell towers, etc., that are out in the middle of the boondocks, I have a trailer that is loaded with (2) 300 gallon water tanks, a pressure pump and 6000 watt generator we use to clean coils at these locations. I could easily haul it to the house, install a water filter fill our water jugs. Thinking about it now, I may install a connection to just connect to the house in an emergency
