My Bomb Shelter

Apparently I had a bomb shelter built into my house all these years and didn’t know it. It was disguised as my shower. Look at how thick the concrete was on the walls.
Look how thick this stuff is!
.. the the top of the shower is even thicker – 3″ to be precise. Two guys were working on if for hours today and only got one wall down.
My house was built in 1959. That’s about the time we used to do the ‘duck and cover’ exercises in elementary school during the Cold War. If it wasn’t for the window in that bathroom, it looks like it would have been the perfect bomb shelter… or at least the place to go if a hurricane ever came by.
But, now it’s bye-bye aqua tiles. Time to move into the 21st century.
