Ever watch Doomsday Preppers on tv? Everyone buys the shipping containers and buries them, ventilates, adds some sort of water system, bathrooms, etc. Fun stuff but I doubt anyone could sanely live in one of those with any more than one other person for more than a few months max. Definitely very strong.Quote:

Wonder if an old septic tank could be converted???? Sewer just went in around here there are hundereds of them just sitting underground….hmmm...
Been there, done that. Mine was clean starting out. Small, very low ceiling for working, and cold, but was using flor because distances where so small. Why I went bigger.Quote:

Plus like I said, didn't work for me, I still wonder how you guys grow in very small area.

-- Budbro.... you made me laugh till it hurt! Your right on about the smell! Remember when I was a little kid. Dad & his friend had to dig (back hoe) ours up because it had ruptured. Nosey daddys girl that I was, I stood there till they got the ground opened up. Ran in the house crying! It smelled so bad it burned my eyes! Couldn't get the smell out of my nose for hours! Yep! Leave those bitches in the ground! Dead & burried! Hahaha! ;) ;) ;)
It had kinda died, but token asked a question, so I brought it back.
