What does storm shelters have to do with Shortwave Radios? Well,think
about it.
I am thinking,thinking about building a storm shelter in my back yard.I
can get somebody with a backhoe to dig a hole in my back yard about six
feet deep by four feet by four feet (big enough for doggy and I) and I
can buy some concrete blocks and mortar and paint the blocks with
Xypex.


On a subterranean storm shelter I would also be concerned about
sealing the door itself and about providing air, water, etc. 4x4x6
shelter would be pretty tight for more than an hour or two wouldn't
you think. Do you live in the coastal hurricane country? If so going
below ground would not seem to be a very good idea to me.

I can do it all myself except for the backhoe stuff.www.xypex.com
