Fortify master bedroom door?

[Netpackrat]

Even with all my nay-saying, I'll say that discussions like these will play a role when I build my final house. Look at pictures of castle gatehouses. My future front door will be inside of a vestibule with a tight 90 degree turn to get to the main door. No room to stack or swing a ram. Murder holes in the walls and ceiling. Heavy studs where high-strength wire with 1/0 treble fish hooks can hang at tac-vest height. Portcullis, moat, and dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you.

And yet you still deny me a Batcave. Just sayin'.

You ditch that loser you're with, and there'd be any number of guys, just on this forum alone, who'd be happy to build you a batcave worthy of the Catwoman.

Fun fact: the small parts storage/assembly room at work is nicknamed "the batcave"

Our "Batcave" is where the melt shop electricians work.

Of course, the downside is while many TGC members could construct an excellent batcave, most of us tend toward Alfred more than Bruce Wayne.

Or Perhaps Lucius Fox?

I note purely for informational purposes that a trip to the ER for a minor GSW (survivable) is in the vicinity of $5-10K.
Serious wounds start at about $25K, and go to $OMFG!

And everyone still calls me crazy for having a few kevlar vests and wanting plates...

One of Murphy's Laws of Combat says that when you make it hard for an attacker to get it, you make it hard for you to get out.

When I was a kid, I was in a house fire. Probably why I shudder whenever I see iron security bars around windows.

Fixed fortifications are monuments to the stupidity of man.

I prefer my fortified master bedroom to be on tracks. Of course, sleeping space is limited, and the company isn't quite what I'm used to in my master bedroom, except ...

Dang! Now you've got me fantasizing about Sgt. Schuldt again!

I wish I could remember where I saw it.... but once I was watching some video somewhere (might have been a tv show) about tanks, and they had a segment on the Merkava. The Israeli spokesperson who was talking about the Merkava, why it was designed the way it was, etc, was a *really* cute strawberry blond. Now I'd like to find that video, but quick searching isn't getting it.
