I'm pretty sure I could make a storm shelter, I'm not sure just how I want to design it. The design between my ears right now has me pouring a slab in a 8x10 hole with hooks around the perimeter and then framing up a box to pour the walls. Then the roof with a vent, good strong thick plate steel door with a good set of steps and a tractor jack fashioned in case of a tree on the door. We're on high ground and have a good slope where I want to build it.
I've also considered a smaller cargo container like what you see coming off these ships that folks are selling these days. Maybe bury it and and pour a slab on top for added strength and possibly use the top slab for a storage building or something. I'm just not sure if it would just rust out before long.
I know I want to make it sealed up good. I've got snakes around the new place and I sure don't want to jump in a storm shelter full of snakes, scorpions and black widows. Armadillos are welcome though.
