No turning back now...

An update on the storm shelter. The retaining walls are almost done and the concrete has been poured in the entry and a drain was added. We trenched a run of 100 feet so that the rain will never collect in front of the shelter. The stairs into it and a door is still to be added.

This is Chris starting the framing in the kitchen area. These studs we have carried around for years. They were taken down from a temporary wall at work and we cut all of the screws that had been used in them. 

The tall studs will be where the stairs will be located.

Chris cutting out the windows. There is no turning back now!

The windows from the outside.

The window on the right is over the kitchen sink.

The bulkheads over the large doorways were something Chris had to come up with. He took 3/4 in plywood and cut it into strips that he had to laminate together as he bent them into the curve of the wall.
