Tornado/hurricane shelter bunker! Paint and shelving Build #21

[@SctyGrpPowers]

I kind of like the lightest color for the body of the home and the middle color for the trim.

[@pamelamartin9386]

The Black Widow would have went to bug heaven if I had of been there😳😳😳😳

[@TKCL]

Lol, we have a lot of them! No shortage of those in Florida

[@Tony-pq3xv]

Never saw a wooden storm shelter before. I watched your videos on the construction of this shelter and I will say that I can't see it not holding up to hurricanes. Weak tornadoes also. Thick walls tied together very well. Heavy slab it's bolted to. Great job!

[@TKCL]

I feel very comfortable in it. Now if I was out west, no way I'd trust this in those monster tornados.

[@ryanzynda5114]

The storm shelter is amazing.

[@sharonurschel6753]

Your storm shelter is coming along, pray you don’t have to use it often. Good thing you spotted that spider, don’t want you to get bit by her! She looked like she was pretty big !

[@TKCL]

She was huge! Thanks, but being in hurricane Florida, we will probably use the shelter a few times a year.

[@jeremiahs45]

Like the bloopers lol. Maybe the siding one shade and the trim and fascia another shade

[@Flybyknight-jp3kg]

Sure wish you would round your inside bolt bracket before someone catches their head. You have done a great job.

[@jeremiehasbrouck979]

You might add a carbon monoxide detector as well. Pretty small space, check out some bunker videos.

[@TKCL]

Thank you

[@dougdavis4439]

Good to see you wrapping the shelter up. Will be one less thing to worry about. Enjoyed the bloopers! Lol

Nice shelter. It's best to be prepared than not.

[@TKCL]

We've been hit once, don't want to do that again without a shelter. Plus there is always hurricanes.

[@pennynewell3459]

Never seen a wooden shelter. All here in Oklahoma, (tornado alley) are concrete, above and below ground. Stay safe. Just an idea, but we also storage emergency supplies in ours. Like tents sleeping bags, stove and cooking supplies, as well as some water and food. Just in case we loose everything, we can manage for a few days while we figure things out.

[@TKCL]

Good idea! We get weak tornados in Florida, so I feel very comfortable with this shelter.

[@fillg]

That's a great idea. I wouldn't have thought to have things like a tent, sleeping bags, and a stove. Thanks

[@pampilgrim2274]

Hi, Andrew! You and Tiffany will be safe in your storm shelter. You have thought all possibilities through and made wise structural choices.

[@TKCL]

I think it will easily handle the storms we see here. I definitely will feel better in it than any house around me.

[@deborrahdutra5599]

I like the middle color

[@rokdoctor6144]

Andrew, a few thoughts for consideration... 1) Put reflective strip around door, particularly the bottom, do in dark dust night conditions if you are crawling* in high wind (*you built far from house), then you will see door. 2) put wind break to shield door from wind when opening and closing in high wind... you can get savage whip on door... and it could be very hard to open or close door and possibly injure people. 3) Put big stout vertical bar handle on door so two or more hands can be used to manage door in strong wind. Can you reach handle if crawling in a gale? How do latches work... Safe living ahead for you. Fun watching tour home grow!

[@TKCL]

Thank you for the feedback and information, good points. I know that 99 percent of its use will be hurricanes, and we get days notice for them. So I guess my mentality is on that. But tornados do happen here and I need to be thinking more on those lines.

Yes I have very low self esteem because my disability affects my speech

[@TKCL]

Well let me give you a piece of advice, don't let that bother you. The internet is full of people with opinions and sometimes they are rude. I truly believe it's because they are struggling with something themselves and bringing others down makes them feel better about their situation. Long story short, you will get some negativity from time to time. Don't let that keep you from perusing what you are passionate about. I don't let the negative viewers bother me at all, I have a goal to achieve with or without them.

[@rabie4x4]

Very nice shelter! It would be very interesting to see how far different calibers would go thru that cut out piece. I doubt most bullets would even make it thru.. I think the standard test is a 2x4 at 250 mph shot at different places on storm shelters. Stay safe out there in the sunshine state!

[@TKCL]

You and I think alike.... That video is coming

[@RICHDCOLEMAN]

one nice thing is you dont have to find studs to put up shelves haha awesome job

[@TKCL]

Lol nope, no stud finder needed

[@edmaurer5059]

Just a thought. Keep them trees far enough away from the shelter that they can't fall it.

[@TKCL]

Luckily those don't get very big

[@HyperFoxTails]

You need to get a Weather Radio or something like it to keep you informed.

[@TKCL]

We absolutely plan on that

[@SctyGrpPowers]

It looks like it is light yellow right now. Kinda pretty. Grey is nice too tho.

[@TKCL]

That's the factory primer, our last house was close to that color.

[@glines]

I live in bermuda and have gone through so many hurricanes I have lost count. It not how thick the walls are it’s how it’s fastened to the ground. I have seen shipping containers picked up and thrown across the harbor.

[@TKCL]

Understand that, this is on a 8 inch thick slab and I'll be adding 4ft earth augers into the ground and bolting them to the shelter. The last tornado that hit us couldn't pull those out of the ground when it tried to flip our camper.

[@glines]

[@hartleyhomesteadmichigan6041]

Nice looking shelter. Glad you are far enough away from the coast line so you don’t have to worry about storm surge

[@TKCL]

Nope, probably 40 miles away

[@fillg]

If you're ever looking for a really nice light gray color, we use one on most of the interior walls at work called Gray Owl. It's lighter than your lightest one you tried out today so probably not what you're looking for now but maybe sometime. It's really nice with black trim around windows and doors. I don't know if all of the paint manufacturers have the same colors but ours is Benjamin Moore brand.

[@TKCL]

Thanks, we are looking for a little darker color than standard gray.

[@fillg]

@@TKCL Gray is a tricky color, sometimes it's kinda green, sometimes blue, sometimes brownish... Another one I used one time that I would say was closer to a medium gray is called Urban Sunrise but whatever you (Tiffany) pick I'm sure it will look great. I've really enjoyed your storm shelter series and it's good to know you'll be safe.

[@TKCL]

You are right, blue, green and tan is always mixed in these weird gray colors.

[@mrrs8118]

Nice to have a storm shelter. Do you plan to have a generator? Most storms cause power outages.

We have two! Also looking at a backup battery and inverter.

what happens if your power goes out as far as your ventilation?? You must have a backup generation system I hope!! Thanks for all your great videos!! God Bless!!!

[@TKCL]

Yes I'm either adding a battery and inverter or really looking at the dewalt battery bank/inverter

[@markb.1259]

Lookin' good!!! I know you said you were placing screening over the vent holes to keep bugs from coming in there. Did you also add some sort of screening in the hole the ventilation fan is in? Would be really bad to need to use the shelter and have to fight a swarm of bees or wasps for access to the shelter... haha :-)

[@TKCL]

It has a spring loaded damper in it

[@martyreiber8945]

How come you built it so far from the house 🤔 especially if you had a tornado come in the middle of night when you're asleep 🤔

[@TKCL]

Because we wanted it to look like a shed out in the yard, not a storm shelter. We keep a very close eye on the radar and go ahead to the shelter anytime we see a band coming with tornado warnings. It's not 100 percent ideal, I know.

[@martyreiber8945]

Thxs

[@ericnepean]

Why did you put it where you did, and mot next to your residence? (Great series of videos)

[@TKCL]

Because it was built long before we knew where the house would go.

[@bobbikuhn3496]

This is the first time I have seen your storm shelter (I am newer). Is the reason it doesn't go below ground because of your ground water level? I saw your big ponds, so I wondered.

[@bobbikuhn3496]

Love the bloopers.

[@TKCL]

Absolutely, high water table here. Plus I had leftover storm damaged materials to help offset costs to build this.

[@JMJWill]

Do you have a home backup generator in your plan for hurricane season?

[@TKCL]

Not a automatic one, but yes we have two generators for home use. One is big enough to power the house, minus the central AC.

[@pennynewell3459]

What’s your backup if you loose power?

[@TKCL]

Either battery and inverter or really looking at the dewalt battery bank inverter. Also have two gas generators.

I'd be afraid still.. in that building unless is' got concrete blocks for walls.. Have u watch Twister movie at the end of the movie They rounded up in a well house strapped to iron pipes is the only thing that save them , most storm shelter are in the ground, Id' feel safer in the ground..

[@TKCL]

Lol I don't believe movies! Luckily here in Florida we get weak tornados, not those big ones out west. If I lived there, I'd definitely have something underground. This is 10xs stronger than any house wall.

[@jeffreysmith236]

so I guess you are not aware that movie is complete horse manure? Try watching El Reno storm chasing video, that was a 2,6 mile wide monster that caught quite a few chasers inside of it, the view is terrifying. The inside of a tornado would annihilate an unprotected human.

[@TKCL]

I did watch those, it was a huge tornado no doubt. Nothing in history has ever happened like that in Florida. We just don't have the environment to spawn those monster tornados. If we did I would have a buried concrete bunker.

Music is a big part of what I do, and fills time-lapse sections well IMO. Some people do not like it but a lot do. Sorry if that sounded rude, but it's the truth. No matter how hard I try, how much editing I do, someone will prefer a different style. A voice over for painting did not seem as good of a choice as music.
