Must be in the county! I don't think any city in Texas would have given him a permit for that type of construction in a residential area given the close proximity of the neighbors. He must love the house he has as it sure seems selling the current home and building a new one on a couple of acres might have made better financial sense. More power to him though....How did he get the wife to sign off on that... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/dunno.gif

Incredible!!! Good site, there are some real doozies on there. Thanks Mark!

Cool. Nearly wildfire proof on the basement section, same for tornado's too. Moisture will be the issue but a sealant and a couple of dehumidifiers should take care of that. The last concern I would have is that on a hot day the cars could "sweat" when you would open the lower door, but the desert looking climate of the build site may take care of that too.

Pretty cool ! I think the old missile silo's that people convert into living quarters are neat too.

What lower door? The garage seems to be only the upper level. The lower level is a gym & theater. What a waste of good space, LOL.

No problem Sam. Yep, that wouldn't fly around here either...not to mention the cost of that land in the city would be a killer! Here's my $30,000 garden shed https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/smile.gif

What he is building is pretty COOL but I don't think you can do something like that in many areas.Around houston here you would have to install a couple of diesel pumps to keep it dry!LOL , I just hope the guy is planning on staying there a LONG LONG time!Because he sure has spent a LOTS OF $$$ on that project.

I think its cool and its what he wants and can afford so all the power to him. I have a neighbor that has a 100 foot underground hallway from his garage to house. apparently he knows about the future rain forecast better than the rest of us in the desert. City approved it but seemed like a waste of money to me but free choice is a cool thing.

Yes I agree. It gets strange at post #50. Obviously I did not read that far. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...ins/tongue.gif I would think that the whole idea would be to protect the cars..... Yep waste of good space. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...thumbsdown.gif
