| - A new cellar - |
The old one, that was home-made, leaks and the door is janky. I remember when it was being built, in 2002, we had a flooding rain that half-way filled up the hole and the kids swam in it. Good times.
The new one is a bit steep and the door, being new, is hard to open, but it's watertight. I've put rugs in it and plan to get a camp toilet (believe me, needed!) and some battery-operated push lights to stick around. Maybe a cube foam couch or something. It'll be so full, there'll be no room for me.
It's about half as big as my old one. Also, I like to run in and out of the cellar to use the bathroom, get a drink, look at the radar, etc. and it's easier to do that with the old one. Maybe I can open both doors and use the leaky one when I'm only half-frightened and the new one when I'm scared out of my wits. It would be more correct to say I'm scared of clouds, instead of just storms, because it doesn't take much to have me heading to the cellar.
It only took the guys three and a half hours to install it. They arrived exactly on time and they were super nice. You can order your own cellar at the U. S. Storm Shelters website.
