Bunkers and Fallout Shelters

[jerrysbad]

As far as the buried tanks and to keep them buried when there is a high water table.
They poured a couple of concrete anchors with anchor bolts or studs. then there are 2, 4" X 3/8" thick steel bands that go over the tank and hook to the concrete.
Also depends on amount of earth over the tank. get enough and it will stay down.

I can't find a website for Odon Vault. Any idea of their costs?

I'd love to see pictures of any of these.

Wife's family had one in East Tennessee. My F-I-L is a retired nuclear engineer from Oak Ridge (part of the Trinity Project.) The area did a bumper business in fallout shelters at one time.

It seems like theirs had a tendency to flood, I'm told.

If attached to the house, can it be taxed as square footage?

Anything that is "permanent" can be taxed, including a deck, concrete pad or mini barn. Most anything you need a building permit for will be taxed.

So don't get a building permit.
