Bride's got in in her head to build a root cellar, readout, storm shelter, election shelter in the hill/ valley behind the house. So I guess I'll be shoveling and wacking on stuff in November. Probably a 12x12 or something. She and the kids have been chopping down 4-5 inch pines in 16 foot lenghts to use for the walls. Living on the frontier is alot of work.

Precast concrete is cheap, lasts forever and it goes in the ground in one day. One and done

Raven loves concrete.
Plenty of good reasons, too.

Build your bunker, Rebel. I wish I could.
