There are several in the denver area. One is a complete complex. Three silos and control center. I have seen pictures of some that people live in and pics of some designs for the ultimate in privacy living.

They have some for sale in Kansas, Texas and New Mexico between $150,000.00 to $300,000.00.  They would be nice to live in.

Not gonna do that unless there is a back door to get out of the ground. Just unlike me to want to live somewhere that was once the target of a possible nuke strike.

I know my town hall is built on what used to be a Nike missle site.


IIRC we had a second one here, it may still be there.

not as good as they once did.  the best part is that a tornado can be right above you and you can sit in there with out worries.  the down side, and not sure how well they protected, a major flood can drown you.

somewhere in that web site you see a buyer doing work on one.  he has pics from the beginning to the final work.  Looks like a lot of investment.

I always thought that SALT agreements required the silos to be destroyed and filled with earth. You might want to check that before you sign any papers.

Thats what I was referring to.
Seems his first order of business was to remove the blast doors.
I dont want anyone to be able to break in.
And in the case of the government.
I want to make it as difficult as possible LOL

Though I bet for the money he got for that door as scrap paid for alot of renovation work

I laughed the first time I heard about it, and I still get a chuckle to this day.

Mmmm, thought we had pretty much evolved away from caves and underground.  Underground stuff evokes images of bug spraying, cave-ins, flooding, suffocation, burials, all sorts of inconveniences. 

Around we have a few earth homes built decades ago.  Little housing area mostly underground except for front door and window. 

Look long enough and find something for every taste.
