So I could actually have my very own batcave? My Christmas list just got bigger

 

[Indecision]

Yeah, this was posted in the missile silo house thread.

 

[ThrottleJockey]

SWEET!!! Not a bad price either. This seems like it would be EMP proof too.

 

[PapaScout]

So if 300 of us kick in $1000...

 

[Donnelly]

It's a buyers market right now, they'll go lower on that price...

 

[duke]

I'll throw $50 in on it

 

[42769vette]

most folk plan where to go if/when shtf. who ever buys this plans to just go downstairs

 

[ThrottleJockey]

It's a buyers market right now, they'll go lower on that price...

So then 300 buyers at $1000 each should leave extra for remodeling? I'm in for 5. Do we need to set it up as an LLC, Co-op or what?

 

[evansvillethompsongunner]

Or someone could just nab this up.... even at $300k, that's a steal.

Then again, I wonder how much it would cost to build.....

Let's think about this. Do you REALLY want to live that close to Chicago?

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Why not? We'd be better armed the the whole lot of them!!!

I take it you've never been to the South Side of the Chi? I feel so sorry for you if you REALLY believe that!

Lol, I guess you've got a point, but I'm pretty well armed myself!

Ok, this ^ good ole boy is just as crazy as the rest of us! Bonafide INGOer for sure! I'm pretty well armed myself, but not as well armed as them! At least we all have training and disciple on our side.

I say go for it.

I'll pass on this one though. 300 INGOers, 8200sq ft, That's just over 27sq ft per person. That's not counting families.... I hope that shower works REALLY well!
