As promised from before, my fellow Steemians, here is the final post about my underground shelter build on our Tennessee hilltop property...

I'm going to start out here on this post showing you all my detailed work building food storage into the underground shelter:

Storage shelving being added under the lofted bunk area

Food storage and other stuff loaded up onto the shelves created under the lofted bunk area

Everything organized under the lofted bunk area for maximum usage of the space

My framework for the storage closets in the underground shelter
[img]
Next, shelves were added and the closet framework and trim painted
[img]
My wife wasted no time in load'n 'er up with all sorts of food storage and canned goods
[img]
Closet doors were added next to give it a clean look to the storage closet

Next was to frame out the bunk area storage and finish the bed area
[img]
Shelving in the bunk area completed - the shelves in the back are for use for additional food storage
[img]
A little fold-down table was added near the entrance into the underground shelter
[img]
And, of course, it's not complete without its own additional storage shelving behind the fold-down table!

Fold-down table all stowed away and neatly decorated with photo souvenirs from our Israel trip
And, now.... for the FINISH revill:

A small chest of drawers added and a colorful shoshi screen added to "brighten" it up in the underground home

Last, but not least, me... using a Bobcat dozer to fill in dirt on top of the underground shelter - our dogs had to get in on the action!

Because of the reinforcement improvements I made in and on top of the 20 ft shipping container, I was able to add about three feet of additional earth on top of the container! The temperature inside the container now stays cool in the hot summertime and warm during the cold wintertime! Well, that's all for now! Hope you all enjoyed my post about my underground shelter build... stay tuned and follow
