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.

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.

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

That doesn't look very zombie proof at all.

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

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

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.

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)

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..
