Atlas Missile Site No. 6

They finally sold that one. It's over by Moses Lake WA.

Yep, one of these has got me written all over it. Nuthin but

Ron Paul Revere: GaryPDX: Yep, one of these has got me written all over it.

I too would find such quarters quite awesome. Considering the configuration, it'd make one helluva hydroponic operation center as well. :D

No FLIR units are gonna catch me ridin' dirty up in mah silo.

Oh dude..let me show you the whole construct. (new window)

Swimming pool on the bottom floor...booyeah.

He had better hire some experts to wipe out the deep crow infestation.

the place leaks and has poor ventilation and a bat problem

I once thought of moving into Carlsbad Caverns, but it has the same drawbacks. :-(

I would lurve to live in such a place. And only $100K?

GaryPDX: Yep, one of these has got me written all over it. Nuthin but

Want.

Though, I'd have to give it a Star Trek theme if I'm gonna live in it.

looks like he's now ready for the post-invasion shotgun and canned goods economy

not impressed

I guess that's cool.

But my childhood dream is to buy and old fire station and turn it into a house. Sliding down the pole into my garage would be teh awesome.

The plan was to live and work in here, but the place leaks and has poor ventilation and a bat problem.

"Hey Alfred, check out Fark.com!"

Are these the only people we want living after a nuclear war?

"Davenport ... bought it for $100,000 two years ago"

But according to Zillow, its current value is only $88,400.

the silo bubble burst

Maybe that Meldrum guy in Idaho who studies Bigfoot full-time wants a piece of this beauty pie.

Dr. Ray Stantz Agrees.

Until you realize you forgot your keys...

Well, I don't think it could survive Judgment Day (the real one, not the one in the Bible) but it wouldn't be bad against the zombie invasion, at least for a little while.

I don't think the zombies on the surface could detect the living inside that silo and if there were cameras to determine when the coast was clear, it'd be a good place to hold up for a while.

As for UFOs, someone give this poor bastard some kind of holographic light show and guys in costumes to meet him before he dies.

So he believes in UFO's and he gets a missile silo. For what, a possible invasion? If there was an invasion an enemy ship in orbit has it's choice of things to use against this facility starting with the ultra high tech "drop something heavy from orbit" option.

At least this way, he'll have an entire floor to store all his tin foil. :)

Good idea!



Run a working movie studio aboveground, as cover.

Also, you'll need some of these:

YES PLEASE. I could be a crazy, paranoid hermit to my heart's content.

Wow. Just wow. I just got done reading the description on that web site and have an entire pantload of jizz to clean up.

WANT. OH SO MUCH.

!want want want want want want tnaw tnaw tnaw tnaw!

sadly I want this and or the firehouse, that or the batcave style potfarm that pops up as news every now and then.

after all who wouldn't want a secret lair.

since I can't read the friggen seattle times on my pda, I'll for go plans of world domination this time

The only problem with that set-up is if you fart in bed, you've got to open the roof to air out the entire house, and it's gonna travel through every room. It may even taint the family dog and kill the houseplants.

He obviously came from an insecure HOA middle class community.

All of these old silos are derelicts. They have been long-abandoned, filled with debris, many of them were used to store chemical waste. Without fail they all have water issues (pools made by large leaks), mold issues(from being underground and constantly wet without air movement), and animal issues(like bats in the article). The machinery which let them operate like the heavy blast doors, etc is usually completely unusable, and try replacing something like that.

I imagine fixing it will take a great deal more money then he bought it for.

I grew up in a house that had a fire pole that went from the kitchen into the basement. From the outside it looked like a pantry, with a couple of slatted doors, but when you opened it you found a kid's fantasy.

I don't know...this guy's silo sounds like a real heap.

He might be looking at the occasional stalagmen uprising...

Looks like the underground Wildfire laboratory from that movie, 'The Andromeda Strain'.

I like!

/Approves

That guy was on my shortlist, but he is a fundie Christian, and even Charmin-level-squeezable buttocks and a missile silo couldn't make up for that. I did enjoy many an hour of listening to his sonorous stories and making blinky-eyes at him, though.

I guess now that I'm off the market I really should find him someone.

He might even be able to do some ghost research while he's there:

One in particular was going for a bargain price: Atlas Missile Site No. 6, in which the previous owner had killed and dismembered a visitor.

FTA:Peter Davenport is a full-time UFO investigator.

Don't they mean unemployed? Who would pay him to do such a thing?

/I was going to ask the same damn thing. HTF do these people make a living?

Why is it that this thread reminds me of conversation in the War Room at the end of Dr. Strangelove?


"... Nuclear reactors could provide power almost indefinitely. Greenhouses could maintain plantlife. Animals could be bred and SLAUGHTERED...."

I got my eyes on a water tower myself

NDP2: Animals could be bred and SLAUGHTERED...."

I love the way he says that line.

/ Pretty good movie, in my opinion.

We actually had the who would buy this firehouse?' convo today as we were told the residential house/firehouse was supposedly a temp thing. Remodeling it - city worker. Answer - some guy who has either 2 RV's or wants the ultimate huge garage-
