While armed robbers are unfamiliar with the house, they are also generally rushed. What is of concern these days are home invaders who are thorough, determined, violent and willing to spend a day destroying your home for their purposes.
What was unsaid was that your even having a basement is unknown to them, much less a safe room where you could comfortably stay for some days. A passive, fiber optic surveillance system to tell when your home was no longer occupied would also be valuable.
Soup recipes?
Good reference
The wild mushroom soup is awesome!
Get a quiet alarm clock, though.
Multiple shotguns that are stashed throughout the house would be my choice of dealing with home invaders who are thorough, determined, violent and willing to spend a day destroying your home for their purposes. Various types of ammo from slugs to 00 buck will handle everything.
One problem with that idea. If the invaders are armed criminals, you are good to go. But if they are LEOs, who look and act just like criminals, you will have committed armed homicide of an LEO, and will either be killed, or sent to prison for life.
So the best initial course of action has to be discretion, with the idea of preserving life and limb, even if you have superior firepower.
Holy Crap... this guy was in my brother’s class from K-12.
Probably cheaper to design your own and take it to a local reputable cabinet maker.
