Sharpshooter
I'm posting this here for the "Self Defense" aspect - if this isn't the appropriate forum, I apologize...
After a year or so looking for the "perfect" property & home, my wife & I have decided that we are probably going to be building a home on 10 acres or so. This will be a modest home for certain, but will be for our family of 6 (maybe more???). We are looking at the Bungalo/Craftsman style home, which is square-ish, with the bedrooms on the second floor. The home will definitely be on a basement, possibly walkout, depending on the terrain of the property we end up purchasing. I am strongly considering this home to be constructed with insulated concrete forms (sort of hollow lego style, filled with concrete & rebar - example here), so it will be strong & tight.
I didn't see any specific threads when I searched INGO - any ideas, recommendations, examples, etc. of home design that gives us a tactical advantage over intruders, keeps them out in the first place, etc, etc. Again, we will not have a huge budget for add ons - I am looking more for site design & home design recommendations.
Thank you!
