Good article in the WSJ on safe houses. The slideshow has some good info and other houses as well.
Safe House in LA Kind of topical as the Free Shit Army seems to be winning. |

Less ground floor windows Agreed. I love the idea of this though. |

Less ground floor windows Moat. Drawbridge. Castellated redoubts. Murder holes. Fine Sherry and a pipe while the battle rages. |

Less ground floor windows Moat. Drawbridge. Castellated redoubts. Murder holes. Fine Sherry and a pipe while the battle rages. Good ideas, but in all seriousness, if you build an average size home with ICFs or Concrete SIPs you will have a pretty bullet proof/fireproof house at the least (also metal roof ftw). I'd even go with standard SIPs (2x OSB with an 8-12 in sandwich of iso foam) and an outer brick/stone facing and it should stop 7.62. I've seen some nice hurricane proof shutters in South Florida that can be locked on the inside so you can still have ground level windows. I do like the German (??) Hurricane proof windows the gal in NOLA got though. |
