Let me get this straight- you actually want to build a giant concrete box and live in it, while also attaching 3/4 of a concrete box to the back so you can watch TV in the snow? (And also in the 110 degree summers!) Yep, this is officially the most Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) idea ever. Retards read this thread and think: "Jesus effing Christ this mothereffer is Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!)."[/quoteFirst of all, no. I don't want my outdoor room to be concrete walled. Just my bedroom area, and again, it will be finished so that it looks just like any other interior normal wall.Second of all, have you ever heard of a masonry(brick or stone) building? All said and done, it is pretty much the same concept.
....but with fresh air, natural light, and I never have to worry about any one calling it a man cave(hate that).Also, TV trays are wildly underrated.
The whole house is a tornado room cause it's a giant concrete box!!! I'm just glad he's building it in joco, I wouldn't want that ugly ass house raping my property value.

Wouldn't that make it less than ideal for a tornado?Heavy door that can latch in multiple spots along the jamb in case of storm. Same method used for building a tornado room in the basement. Concrete walls, concrete lid(yes you can vault concrete too), steel door with 4 secured latch points. Concrete walls can be furred out and have drywall on them(same with ceilings), steel doors can be vaneered with wood. Will make for an ultra quite room as well as a shelter. While you basement dorks are sitting under some incorrectly installed secondary beam wishing it was all over, I can be watching Katie Horner on my flat screen while sitting in bed and the storm can stay as long as it feels like it needs to.

CNS- check out nanowalls. They're effing bad ass.

CNS, you sound rich. This makes me not like you.

I have a vendor that I work with on other products that has a similar system only instead of hinging off of each, they operate like a panelized divider wall(individual panels that stack when stored, but track next to each other and seal when closed).Thanks for the heads up. They look awesome.

in the end, EMAW will always win.
Dude doesn't want a glass house, he wants a concrete house. Just how tornado-proof do you think a glass house would be? Also, everyone would be able to see him dropping douces and banging his wife, basically like the ape exhibit at the zoo.
