Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

I'd have it poured at the same time as the foundation, but not inside the foundation. On the South face, with one wall abutting the foundation wall, basically. I'm going to have a root cellar on the North face poured at the same time.

 

Right on, seems simple enough.
Wow I was just doing some searches and happened across this:
http://www.askaprepper.com/

OR maybe it is me who is

 

Lol. I'm something of a prepper, so it's you who's

 

There is a difference between "prepper" and thinking ahead and being prepared. You split, stack, and dry firewood for next winter. You don't buy ten wood stoves and pack them with dry food and precious medals, then bury them. The fact that "protection" is more important than medical preparation on their pyramid is beyond me.

 

There is a story there.... lol

 

Been there done that, absolutely no fun the next day...

 

HA! That one actually hits kind of close to home... I've got two woodstoves and a pellet stove in the house, and two woodstoves and a propane stove in storage in the garage that I haven't gotten around to restoring/using yet

 

Hold my Beer....

 

Fell through the ice on a lake in Alaska when I was a kid. That chit was cold. Didnt do much for me as a lesson. After we fished my bike out of the water, I was back riding on the ice the next week.

 

We love the Big Island of Hawaii and plan to move there eventually. On the East side of the island there isn't a lot of infrastructure - a majority of the houses don't have piped in water and rely on rain catchment and mostly septic tanks vs sewer lines. Rely only on rain for all your water needs!? Holy cow do they get a lot of rain. One area gets up to 23 feet per year!

 

Seriously, a great book for true preppers (not the "I'm gonna live on guns and ammo" type). Old book but really has great info.
