Meh.

I've always wanted one of those.

Honestly, I've always liked unconventional homes. I'd love to do something like convert a warehouse or a nuclear silo or a cave or a church or a downtown retail space into a home. While I don't think I could talk my wife into the cave or nuclear silo, I'm hopeful that maybe someday I can do one of the others.

You know, fightin' in a basement offers a lot of difficulties. Number one being, you're fightin' in a basement! /Aldo “the Apache”

I wouldn't want to have to defend that silo house. You couldn't even get water without being in zombie range. At least with the cube house you could go up on the roof.

Ive always thought the same way too! I sometimes pass by small warehouse buidlings, etc and always think the same thing too. Like you said, if only we can get our wives to go along with our ambitions.

True that, you can always snipe from the roof, have rain buckets, have pots to grow additional food so that you don't use all of your food reserves so quickly, etc.

In the silo house you have a well that's in an underground room. The zombies will wait outside forever for you to get water, and you'll just laugh at them.

Well, you don't got to be Stonewall Jackson to know you don't want to fight in a basement. /Aldo

Awesome, now all we need is for zombies to exist.

They do, they just haven't attacked yet.

Rule #22 When in doubt know your way out.

But if you wait until then to prepare, it's going to be too late. I applaud the thinking ahead that's taking place here.

Well, it depends on what type of zombies we're dealing with here.

The traditional zombies which are little more than reanimated husks, lack the motor skills to present much of a problem. With flat slick walls, it's unlikely they'd be able to climb so you could actually have those machine gun nests on the roofed be manned. Just have a roof entrance than can be shut and locked in the off chance you end up overrun and need to retreat to the safety of the barracks.

Even with today's modern super zombies, I still think they're going to have a problem climbing up those walls. I'd recommend keeping a supply of napalm handy (just mix gas with dish soap for a quick homemade version) in the event that they do manage to start climbing. Napalm + match = no more zombies. Not to mention that it would be incredibly handly for removing the pile of corpes after the siege is broken. And since the walls are concrete, you don't have to worry about the house catching fire.

Just tap into the ground water.
