So I'm buying a home, what should I look for in order to help to make it Jow Forums approved. No matter what I'm building/putting in a vault room to store my guns/ammo in. But I'm not sure what else I should look for. (single BTW its just going to be me in the house.)

When I was looking at houses there was one that a guy had a hidden gun room in the basement that was behind a hinged door disguised as a bookcase. That was pretty cool but the rest of the house was meh.
Detached garage makes a great bar/workshop for me.

Probably a steel door possibly bars on windows but it could make it feel like a prison

My mom was a real estate agent at one point in her life, here's her best advice. Buy the best house that fits your requirements in the best school district you can afford to pay the property taxes. You're better off with the cheapest house on the best block than the best house on the cheapest block. Commit to one financially viable major project every year (ex. new patio/redone bathroom, etc.).

Hookers. Put hookers in it.
Jackson Hill
The most Jow Forums home has a shooting range or space for it in the back yard

Solid advice

If possible renovate some old house in semirural areas/forests or buy land and build your own cuckshed/sauna you live in for years

>good neighborhood
>clear lines of sight around immediate perimeter
>either no, or small and easily barred, basement windows
>no sliding doors, they're too easy to force or break
>either existing or easily added perimeter flood lighting
>steel core, single width entry doors. No french doors
>attached garage
>all windows actually framed in and not set in firring strips
Beyond that is what you're willing to do but there's a ton of shit you can add to a home to both increase the difficulty of forcing entry, and decreasing the likelihood you'll be targeted.

Imagine a coastal bunker but in the semi-rural residential area. Close enough to a major city center but far enough away so that riots or displacements won't affect you.

>tfw could have enough for a 10-acre plot of land an hour from me I can develop into a Jow Forumsamp, pay an excess of rent and still take home $1000/month disposable
yay or nay, also assuming no dependents.

Large gun safe in the corner of a closet, bolted to the foundation. Anything more is asking to get damaged/stolen.

Of you spell armory with a u, you can’t have one.

What sort of construction are you open to?
>Pouring concrete/welding massive sheets of steel
>Replacing drywall with cementboard and plexi layered drywall with expanded steel mesh backer
>Just upgrading doors
Because really you can do more or less anything.

I live in the midwest so this is a more feasible plan than for those living in densely populated coastal areas, but I intend to buy land and build a shop-house, or 'shouse' as we know them. They typically cost half as much to build as a regular home, require very little exterior maintenance and will have plenty of room for hobbies like cars and guns. I would have a concrete vault room built in that would house the majority of my guns and reloading equipment but also double as a tornado shelter. Currently I look to have my $97k house paid off by Aug. 2021 and then I'm going to try and find the right piece of land to buy and get the ball rolling.

Dude I'd always sooner opt for land than a house. God ain't making anymore space. Houses are a dime a dozen but land will only become more $. You can live cheap out of a trailer for a good long time until you're ready to build your own house exactly as you want it with secret armory room. You can do cool Jow Forums shit and it will feel like a good escape and recoup from work vs going and sitting in your little house in cramped suburbia or worse, the city. An hour might be a rough commute but it's do-able with a comfy car and audiobooks/music.

yeah I was thinking a detached garage would be nice(since they tend to be longer then attached garages in my area.)
this is true, but I have a private ranges with in a 5-10 minute drive, from the areas i'm looking at.
schools in the two cities I'm looking at are both in the same district, and the different schools preform within 5-6% of each other overall.(but it cycles around, with the IB school at the top.) But I like the idea of doing one major project a year.
Lighting/ cameras will be one of the first things I do. Also since I'm mostly looking at century homes right now, they all have framed in windows, and solid wood doors,(will replace with a steel door/frame)
we haven't lost our guns yet....
I would be ok with pouring concert and doing a proper vault, but it would be done when doing other upgrades for now it would just be my safes.
man I wished I lived in the Midwest, houses in my area start at ~360k for a tiny house and plot with an avg of ~495k (for a detached).
thanks for the link
Yeah I was thinking of buying some land too, if I buy a cheaper house I can get some land up north for real cheap(100+ ac for under 50k, sometimes under 20k if its a bit rough)
Brayden Taylor
the location of the actual house for one. don't be near niggers, and preferably be near a lot of open land where you can shoot and fuck around innawoods
also, a basement is key. preferably a basement with a false or hidden door that leads to ANOTHER BASEMENT or at least a hidden room that can become the bunker. happiness is all about having a bunker.

So should I let my wife buy the $1500 induction stove for our $120k house's kitchen or should I buy a steel plate backed door that looks like my office's closet door and just turn that into my safe? 2 walls are exterior brick, one a bathroom shower, and the other just the door and bookshelf..
Dylan Robinson
>$1200 induction stove
jesus fuck, no. Stick with a regular gas burner at all costs, they cook so much fucking better than even the best induction.

I want this thing in my life... In Texas it is a Barndominium for tax purposes..

I'd honestly look into the town/county and stuff like that's building codes and what not. Maybe get an idea of what kind of neighborhood it is. There is a lot of red tape about what you can actually sort of do. Especially if you want to ever expand. If you just want a room, you should be fine either way I'd be more interested in neighbors maybe freaking out seeing anything gun related if it's labeled or in a case that conforms to the shape of the weapon. Or if you're boxes aren't discreetly labeled.
In a normal room I'd honestly just consider building a cage around it, probably won't get kicked in easily like dry wall between a stud. The fence links give you a thing to have stuff off of. Then you can put actually security stuff in the cage. and have more room for stuff like humidity controls and what not. How to actually store the stuff seems a little more important than trying to just lock it all up in a vault and gives you room for displays and what not.
Robert Robinson
Gross.
Need to build one of those hangar houses so it can accommodate airplanes.
Andrew Thomas
Well now I need a souse
David Morales
If it’s not a historic home building codes are ptretty ok to deal with.(and even if it’s historic it’s not that bad just a bit more costly.). also while I would be moving from a rural/blue riding, to a urban/left/red riding most people don’t care about gun stuff,( in the case if the mail person leaves a gun on my front porch again.)
Liam Russell
Get a big boss it’s like 80$ and that should work it’s cheeper smaller takes less time to cook and won’t turn your house into a sauna

Well that's a pretty fucking major oversight then, and you should rectify that.

Depends what you are cooking.
Gas gets hotter, but also has hot spots.
I wouldn't get a gas stove if I didn't already have gas heat.
Mason Jackson
Find a place with no visible neighbors. Easier for some states than others. I'm house hunting right now too and I want a secluded spot more than anything else.
Andrew Powell
He really was great
