    Good peeps up there. I've got 200 gallons worth of various barrels from them. That along with 15 or so cases fom Costco, WaterBob, and a Berky filter for the nearby pond, I feel pretty good about my water situation.

    That sounds good. Unless you let a marine anywhere near it. Then you might need stronger hinges. Those fuckers can break anything.

    Where in the name of God do you find 3" thick AR500??? Where can I get some?

    (Can't imagine how much that would weigh... lol)

    Apparantly...


    How much does a door-sized sheet of AR500 cost? Where should someone look if they were interesting in buying some?

    If you were interested i'd call around your area to metal dist and or manufactures / fabricators.. if no luck there's always banks / AAtargets in the industry partners sect.

    Aa targets. Industry partner can do a custom sized ar500 plate I'd bet.

    1/2" would be manageable by 2 guys.

    Hah! Marines (or any of our military folks) come in through the front door.

    I'd think a 3" AR500 steel and conrete door would be a bit much for our deck. That would be the strongest part of the house....

    Nope, we have everything we need, (and many things we probably won't) right here. Sure we can venture off into the wilderness though and live just cozy there too, been there done that. Probably not ideal for some but wife and I love it and live it. Fortunately have a group of like minded friends with similar skill sets too, so there's always the option of forming a little colony elsewhere if necessary.

    My cousin has part of an old press that was used to press pop top tabs for aluminum cans riding in the back of his truck. Probably weighs a couple hundred pounds. Maybe I could buy it from him... If I remember correctly, it is probably 15" X 36"
