Zombie Proof House
 

I didn't see this posted when I did a search....this is an amazing idea. The only problem I have with it is you would have your own power supply because if not, what do the concrete doors run off of when the world ends?

Err, just one question:

How do you get out for food? The only way to roll during zombie apocalypse is an island large enough to grow your own food, but not so large you won't have enough ammo to kill all the zombies that may be on it with you.

I'd have a speaker system where I could tease the zombies by yelling out "EAT ME BITCH"

What would make the most sense would be to have an underground tunnel that leads to a garage with a secure exit so one could flee if necessary. I would assume some kind of heavy duty or possibly military vehicle would be there.

I also assume there is a root cellar of some type with hopefully enough food to last the inhabitants at least 6 months should the zombie lay siege.

I don't see any gun turrets.

Sweet tho

My first thought also. How are you supposed to defend it?
That place is like trying to fight in a basement, and you know what Aldo “the Apache” says about that.

Dont cha know, the tunnel is where the zombies always come from. They always sneak in that back door when you aren't looking.

A couple of mini-guns on the roof in strategic locations should do the trick.

It's because I always forget to lock the damn thing.

Dreams really do come true.

Remotely controlled from inside? Yea, that would be pretty trick.
Add a watch/sniper tower tall enough to see for a ways, clear the trees at least 1000 yards back and we’d be onto something here. :bang:

That's a great place, but it seems like it's missing one thing. You should have a couple of mobile homes nearby with lots of people in them to give the zombies something else to do. The best defense is diversion.

Who the hell is gonna mow that lawn once the doors shut????

The zombie goats.

Hmmm.....

Zoats?

Gombies?

Simple. Lawnbott.

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.

Shipping container homes might be an inexpensive way to indulge your fantasy.

That doesn't look very zombie proof at all.

Careful there, well water can get contaminated by runoff. You could possibly get infected and become a zombie youself from drinking unfiltered well water.

What’s “need” got to do with it? I just think it’d be trick to have them remotely controlled. It’d be like a video game, picking off zombies with my mourning coffee from the comfort of the control console.

Napalm is a good point. Simple, effective, easy to come up with, but since we’re dreaming how about one of those belt fed grenade launcher things, Mk 19. Loaded with a cocktail of frag, H.E., maybe even throw some Whiskey Pete in there just for the effect.

Why not go all out and go with a couple of Vulcan Cannons?

Heh. I was talking about RM's desire for a nonconventional house. Not zombie proof housing.

Silly, every zombie house comes with a stock filtration system.

Well alright, but those people will probably be the first ones eaten.

Well that’s basically what a mini gun is, a miniature version of the Vulcan.
Another one I was thinking of is developing some robot Frisbees with razor blade edges that autonomously fly around lopping off zombie heads. But that’s as much to waste time, a way for me to dabble with fabricating something while I wait for society to rebuild and turn zombies into useful slaves than it is a actual security system.

True but what do you use to kill the zombie germ with? Bleach? Alcohol? Oh I hope its alcohol, something tasty like rum. Just as long as it isn’t tequila, that stuff makes me crazy.

Surprisingly enough it's mentos. The fresh maker.

Per one of my early posts, you then put a couple of those up nearby and rent them out so the zombies will get distracted eating those people instead of attacking your fortress. Renters are good for that.

Tell the raiders fan there will be a gay orgy in one of the trailers.

Boom. a bunch of dead raiders fans.

oh, and it would be a distraction.

FYP

That's like chumming the waters. Yeah, some zombies will go eat them, but others will wander onto your lawn. Plus once the zombie horde eats your neighbors, where do you think they're going to go for desert?

Besides, once they get eaten, they turn into zombies. So now you've got even more zombies on your lawn, PLUS some of them might still remember how you screwed them over and might have a bone to pick with you about it.

No, the best option is still to combine the unmovable object and the unstoppable force.

Fortress protected by minigun nests (and napalm....lots and lots of napalm)

fixed. So now you created zombie raiders fans. Is that what you want hanging outside your lawn? It was bad enough when they were just raider fans, now they're zombies to boot. God forbid one of them bites you. You might turn into a zombie, or even worse, a raiders fan.

I don't think you guys are thinking this through.

If you're looking for something to fabricate, some really evil barbed wire would be outstanding.

Well, at that point i could shoot the raiders fans and not feel as though i've committed murder, but instead, defended myself.

Firstly:
World War Z poses the idea that guns are, at best, inefficient and at worst, worthless, against zeds.

What you need is a lobo (lobotomizer).

Thanks but I think I'll stick to my gun and a barricaded position.

Has it occurred to any of you to try and make peace with the zombies?

How would that be different than it is now?

Good idea. We've nominated you our ambassador. Don't be alarmed when we don't let you back into the compound though.

You will when I have achieved my goal of recruiting them to play for the Chiefs. Imagine offensive and defensive lines consisting entirely of zombies.

Won't the helmet/facemask get in the way of their brain eating...

Wait a minute...

Dear God that's it. That's how we save humanity. We just force everyone to wear football helmets at all times so when the zombiepacolypse breaks out the zombies will be completely harmless.

Nobel Peace Prize here I come.

EDIT: Also for the record Donger, I'm not a chiefs fan, I'm a colts fan.

Oh, so you are expert on zombies.

Every time the Titan fans come to town I get a refresher course.

you silly rubes. Zombies can't swim and are afraid of fire. Simply build a moat around your current house, keep a supply of oil to dump into the water and light it. Have a couple years of rice, beans, and canned goods and have a well dug inside your house. You're good to go.

Ok, simple enough, but how do I make it fly around autonomously lopping off zombie heads?

Well, what I was thinking was to make actual razor wire. As in, the entire thing is one long big ass razor.

Then we use that to funnel the zombies into what we will refer to as the "kill zone." On the other side of the wire we need some big ass spinning blades like the first trap in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade except bigger, and sharper.

Ugh, just when I was beginning to think you were all right.

Don't judge me. (besides, as far as I knew our two franchises didn't have a problem with each other)

If it helps, I hate the Chargers with the fury of a thousand burning suns.

It sheds new light on the whole campaign to get children to wear bicycle helmets. Having ridden bikes as a child, I knew it wasn't for child safety, but I never would've guessed the real reason - to begin conditioning them for adult football helmet laws.

Keep your pussy ideas of appeasement to yourself. The only thing better than a dead zombie is a dead zombie being drug to your door by a nude supermodel.

You mean other than the playoff games where you stomped us like a narc at a biker rally?

I believe that I can achieve peace in our time.

http://www.strangecosmos.com/images/content/132137.jpg

Oh that. Yeah you would remember that.

If it makes you feel any better we've had more than our share of painful playoff losses.

No, but I have heard they can be made into productive slaves.

Pfft. I don’t even want to hear it. You have no idea the pain and suffering it is to be a Griefs fan.

It does not.

What keeps the zombies from walking across the ocean/lake floor to the island?

Ah yes, England's predecessor to the Killer Joke.

Take this to D.C. tree-hugger :p

LMAO

Well hey, you've always got Super Bowl 4. That was pretty neat right? Hank Stram is pretty awesome. Matriculating the ball and such.

...

Ok, I'll stop.

:sulk:

Back to zombies bucko!

Sigh...one day I'll make friends.

:huh:

Yeah I have thought about buying one of the cheap warehouses off of front street and doing that..

Have a huge 25foot tall barb wire fence all the way around, reinforced with concrete pillars so you can not drive though it.. Big metal gate, remote activated.. Then you take off most of the roof and convert it to sliding glass to let the light in.. Can close most of it for bad weather or winter time.. In-ground pool also in there..

Build the two story house inside of the warehouse, paint the interior walls of the warehouse with some theme.. Can park you vehicles in side the warehouse.. Have a astroturf lawn on the inside..

Would be sweet and probably somewhat cheap to do..

Put a miniature wind turbine on top of the warehouse to power the complex.. I guess you could also acquire more land around it for gardening..

Honestly, spear and shield.. If you are in a secure area where the zombies are busting through fence just spear them in the head, rinse and repeat.. Same if you are up high with a blocked off entrance..

Second, zombies are flammable.. Set them bitches on fire, they will keep igniting each other, like during dawn of the dead on top of the mall.. If all of them were below me I would set off molotovs on them..

Third, wait till winter if you are not in florida and them ****ers will freeze solid, then just go at them with a baseball bat..

Excellent point. Damn you zombies!
