    Isn't there somebody on here that started a business with some buddies? I use to have a PM but must have deleted it. Looking at getting one installed soon hopefully. Any suggestions?

    I have a Flatsafe. They came and did exactly the job they said they would do. There was a bit of a scheduling issue that was on the office person, I think, but other than that it was smooth. I would strongly recommend getting the big one. Since we're only three people we got a smaller one...and it's smaaalllll. Granted, it's going to help keep us alive when a tornado hits our house, but man. It's cozy in there.

    F5. They've been advertising like crazy lately. I get at least one flyer a week in the mail from them.

    Ground Zero for us. Fast, easy, and clean. I did some pretty thorough research and they were far and away the best and most respected. A little more expensive (not much) than the others, but well worth it.

    Good luck finding someone in OKC to build you a basement. And, by the way, I know you're just being a smart****, but basements are standard up north and don't add any value to your home, just space. I totally wish we had basements around here. My dad & brother-in-law has an extra 600 sq. ft. because of theirs.

    If you pay over $2500 for a concrete that holds 8 then you've overpaid.

    http://img.tapatalk.com/d/13/01/29/ypetejen.jpg

    If this is what you are looking for then these types of shelters are all basically made by the same company. When we bought ours the price ranged from $2500-$4500.

    Those outdoor cellars are not an option for many people in urban neighborhoods. Unless you live on a corner, it's going to be difficult for them to get all the equipment required in your back yard.

    do you guys do big outside underground ones?

    Our home backs up to an open field so getting equipment in really shouldn't be a problem

    We don't. We usually refer people that want them to red dirt septic.

    Can two people really sit across from each other in a shelter that's only 3 ft wide? Does your knee go in their crotchal area?

    that's what I hate about these garage ones. Even the ones that advertise 8+ people are cramped and small. I remember as a kid having a lot of room in our neighbors' shelters that were underground in the back

    No. You need a 5ft wide shelter to be able to sit across from eachother. There is a night and day difference between a 3ft wide shelter and a 5ft wide shelter.

    Which he wouldn't be able to afford, b/c with the way tax rates are going out there, he'd end up poor.

    Is there anyone selling f6 shelters? I don't want to die in an f6 with an f5 shelter.

    F5 - the website isn't working. Is all this LT traffic blowing it up?

    So, some are advertising coal tar expoxy coating which is the best while others have epoxy painted steel as their cheaper end. What materials would I be looking for?

    Chances are pretty good you won't be in your home long enough for it to matter to you.

    The only mess that was left after mine was done was you could make out the tracks from the digger on the driveway and a little dust. There's really not a whole lot to it.

    Cut hole
    drop in shelter
    fill hole
    sweep
    ????
    Profit
