House Made Out of Shipping Containers
Paul Range and Gloria Haswell have constructed a house entirely out of used shipping containers (nine 2.5-ton sea containers, to be exact). Built with sustainability, efficiency, durability, and security in mind, they have built this both for the savings and their own defense.
The building can sustain 22 individuals for an estimated 20 years. In the case of an unprecedented global climate shift, the property is prepared with a wind-powered water pump, wind-powered electricity, a methane-harnessing septic system, and over 40,000 pounds of nonperishable food. As far as security provisions from outside threats, the compound is surrounded by three layers of unstable fencing (to draw attention to intruders struggling to climb over it), and roadblocks, all underneath a 16-foot-high vantage point on top of the containers.

Bomb Shelter
Peter Larson stands halfway out of the hatch to his underground bunker. During the Cold War, his father dug bomb shelters for people in their community; however, he wasn't able to afford one for his own family. It became a goal of Peter's to someday own his own shelter.
