help me find a cold war bunker

[SmileDocHill]

I saw a special a long time ago about a guy that spent YEARS building a cold war bunker under his house. It was huge! It had several secret access points, when you went in (down) it looked like a well built and equipped bunker but that was the false bunker. There was another secret entrance from that secret room that opened up into a military grade subterranean home. There were entire areas from there that were not shown. I have for the life of me not been able to find anything about this since. I think I remember it being in Washington state. The house was in as typical a suburban neighborhood as you can imagine and his neighbors had no idea he did it even though he spent every weekend and evening for about 20 years working on it. If this rings a bell with anyone I would to be able to find it.

Reps for the person who is able to find this.

Hey this isnt it exactly but my dad during the cold war "specialized" in building those kind of bunkers for people building new houses, they'd spent an insane amount of money to have them put in before the house was up, just a side note

I'm totally into that kind of stuff. I'll be watching the thread for any links or pictures. Pretty cool stuff.

here is another article with pictures, I think somewhere in the article there is listed a realtor that helps people wanting to locate and buy these silos.

That house is way cool. I have thought about doing something like that. To many questions left unanswered on how to do stuff though.

Has anyone thought about doing one like the one below? I would think that you could make one of these pretty cheaply? some drainage pipe and steel plates. I beleive this is made by utah shelters. anyone know the cost of corregated pipe this size?

You better hope the Rooskies keep their list of primary targets up to date...

There was a house in my grandparents neighborhood that had a shelter. There was a big hill in their back yard with trees on it. Its on Fenmore Road on west 56th street in Indianapolis

This is what I was thinking. Why would anyone want to live in a place that some group or country might think is still a target?
