How lame would you have to be to not want a bunker of your options were having one or not?

Oh I think I made it clear I wouldn’t buy a house with a bunker. I don’t think that makes me lame at all.

Sliver obviously wants to be the leader of a roving mobility scooter gang stealing your resources.

Stop discouraging him, you're ruining potential awesome future news headlines.

That's why I mentioned an unlimited budget. It's not something the average person can pull off, but Silver isn't the average person. I'm really hoping he can do it.

Fallout shelters are like pickup Trucks, the only thing better than having one is knowing someone else who does.

When people were buying, or trying to buy sea cans during the height of the pandemic and then getting ripped off or scammed, I did wonder how many of those were for some romanticized notion of a bunker

What an adorable idea. Sounds like a well thought out plan, seeing it come to fruition should be fun.

He won't admit it, but it's really so he can hide form the bears if any come within 100km of Calgary.

I listened to a podcast once about a guy who built a two-storey bunker with stairs and a few rooms. Maybe reach out to him for advice.

The more I think about it the more I'd hope that if he were to build a bunker and then sell his house...I wouldnt disclose it.

Maybe have a hidden entrance by the alleyway or something so you could sneak into your bunker from time to time without the new owners knowing?

And definitely have a camera over the entrance for the day they inevitably find it so you can record what would surely have to be the world's best genuine 'WT actual F??' face.

Sounds cool, I suggest getting a bunker Cat.

One permitting thing to consider would be you aren’t allowed structures in your front yard even on the land you own. I’m not sure how that works with your plan being below grade.

You could also make it non-habitable and less than 10 square meters to avoid permitting but because it’s underground that might not apply.

Is your goal to have a separate entrance from your house? I think an external entrance likely won’t pass building codes and given where you live if you decided to try to get a variance some NIMBY will stop you. So I think you need an under ground tunnel. But if is a bomb shelter you probably want a second egress which you would build in secret like the lost hatch.
