Calvin19 0 #1 November 15, 2006 so, i live in a bomb shelter, in the basement of my house in boulder, CO. i used to live upstairs, but it was to loud, the highway is right outside, so i moved my bed into the shelter. 80cm concrete walls, ceiling, floor. 2cm steel door. there is a 10cm steel tube for ventilation to the world outside, it is carpeted. is there anything i should be worried about? mommy said that i might get sick if i live down there. any other problems anyone can think of?

Yes, your door is not thick enough to effectively stop radioactive fallout. Is it an interior door or an exterior door? If it's an interior door, you're probably okay.I don't have an M.D. or a law degree. I have bachelor's in kicking ass and taking names. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Calvin19 0 #16 November 15, 2006 its an exterior door, it was built by amatures i think, in the 70s. pretty stupid to have a bomb shelter door open outward. i live in it because it is quiet, and dark. perfect for a vampire Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And yeah, I don't think the opening outward thing is such a good idea. Is the air vent filtered? If not, does it at least have a screen or a cap? And yes, I know you're just sleeping in it because it's quiet; I'm just curious how effective it would actually be as a fallout shelter. I wish I had one. I don't have an M.D. or a law degree.
