Do you happen to know if you can downsize this design (e.g. 4'x6') and still keep the structural integrity? Does it have to be square? I'd like to build this in my 2.5 car garage but only have a 4x6 footprint available.

Im sure it would still be very strong. But I can't guarantee any of that as the "engineered" plans must be followed to meet the specs and ratings posted.

You really think that stick house can stand up to a slow moving EF5? I guess you do or you wouldn't have built it. Wish you luck boss. Hopefully you never have to find out.

16 anchors are overkill?!? You've built this fortress above ground on a concrete slab. Well built and impressive, but looking at recent videos of whole homes being moved off their foundations, into the street, your Achilles heel with your shelter is how well, and how long those anchors hold.
@TKCL

You have also been watching content from states away. Florida very rarely sees anything over a ef1, maybe a ef2 as a common tornado. While intense, not the monsters you see on TV. With that said, yes the anchors might be overkill for my unique situation, but it's always better to have too much and not need it.

Why have you put Plywood on the outsıde, wıthın 12 months you wıll be replacıng ıt.You have spent 1000's of dollars on a wooden structure when for the quarter of the prıce you could have buılt a brıck one that would be 1000 tıme stronger and more secure.. Have you Amerıcans never heard of the story of the 3 Lıttle Pıgs. In a state where there are more Tornadoes and Hurricanes than anywhere where else ın the world, you make houses out of wood or lıve ın caravans. Amazes me.

Your hammer reminds me of my hand tools. I am 62 and my son is 31. I decided that I wanted fiberglass handled tools. I will talk about my pick. The edge of the blade is worn over an inch. My son said dad this pick is broken. Maybe I should get a new one. I told him it isn’t broken. It is well used. Someday you will think about what it took for your Grandfather and myself to wear that blade. Trust me. It will be a good memory. Always enjoy your channel Andrew....

@@TKCL plow is right, they are amazing! We used them to pound in 6 inch spikes into hardwood, can't remember what kind of wood it was, but it was hard as a rock.

Have not closed the door all the way, but do still have cell signal inside. And hey, I'm not about working inside with the door closed until I get working ventilation, rain or not🙄. No 12 volt lighting planned, but will have battery operated push lights and maybe a motion light. My dewalt set has a battery operated fan and light I'll stash inside for hurricanes. Planning a couple of basic shelves and a futon that folds into a big enough bed for Tiffany and I to take a nap if in there for hours during a hurricane. Kegerator sounds awesome, but then I'd have to pee every 15 minutes, that wouldn't work lol.
