We're going to install a storm shelter, too.  Living in a double-wide can be exciting at times!  Hopefully, time in the shelter will be kept to a minimum.  And, hopefully soon I'll have some $$.

It's been a while since I've addressed the subject, but we are slowly but surely getting the root cellar established in the storm shelter.  I will be running an extension cord out there so I can have a light or maybe small heater to use in extremely cold weather to keep it above freezing inside.

A regular mini mart you got there! Looks like just enough room for a keg in the back. :grin:

Well, there has to be room for four people (after my parents move up here into the little house), and Socks the Wander Dog.

Do you have cell phone coverage from inside there? Just a thought about having outside contact while pinned up in there. Hope it never comes down to that though.

Hopefully the time spent inside (if ever) would be limited to 10-20 minutes until the storm passes.

Free food and overnight lodging!  Bring your own can opener.   8-)

Always carry my old trusty GI can opener. It was your best friend with C-Rats

The trusty P-38:

Just make sure......if you ask for a "P-38" at a surplus store.....
They don't sell you a twin-tailed Lockheed.......!!!
That'd be a B!T@# to lug around....and ....it wouldn't even open a can!!
Plus....think of the "parking" problems at the condo.......!

Ruger P-38 wouldn't be too effective either.

But, back to the thread......

50 one day, 70 the next, then down into the 40s for a few days, then back to the 60s; and they wonder why people are sick all the time.
