I found this story on Make Magazine but this home is actually for sale (lots of pictures and sketches) on SiloHome.com. The $2.3 million dollar home has 20 acres, access to a runway and some 16,000 sq. ft. of potential living space underground to prepare for Armageddon. The US government built this missile silo in the 1958 for some $18 million (over $100 million by today’s standards and they built 12 of them) and recently sold it to the builder on the cheap for $100,000, that’s our government at work!
Regardless the home looks pretty sweet with 3,600 sq ft of current living space; 1,300 above ground, 2,300 below ground in the former control room. Obviously the entire underground part is reinforced and has a 2,000lb blast door that looks like a bank vault. Let’s see the zombies get through that.

It’s a pretty funny video but I think it's hilarious this is considered very successful marketing in today’s world. It was a big success for Sure Lock & Home Depot so much so that American Standard bought the rights and rebranded it as "Based on a True Story... That could have been prevented" (
New Version).

In our endeavor to hold the first Power Tool Drag Race in Columbus Ohio I contacts several other groups across the country that either put on races or had lots of advice for us. One of the great groups we were in contact with was Team Kiss. Since then we have received a few fun emails from them, most recently this warm holiday greeting “Tan N Boom”. Checkout the email Tan-N-Boom, with tons of pictures.
Preparing for the holidays….
Decorating the tree….
Opps I skipped right to the Money Shot...

Just a few days ago this crew successfully tested the Heat-1X rocket which is slated to launch for the first time this summer. The purpose of the rocket will be eventually to launch a man into space within an incredibly confined capsule (seen above) at the tip of this rocket… You’d have to have balls like church bells to climb into that and get shot into space but I’m sure it would be a fun ride. Read all about their plans and building awesomeness at www.copenhagensuborbitals.com; also you can donate to the project if you want to support the cause. I really like the fact that a couple of buddies can build spaceships on their own with a few hundred grand of donated money and a time line of a few years. NASA on the other hand needs trillions and a few decades to put a man back on the moon. Anyway it looks like these guys are having fun.
