Hey,
readers.
This
being the first post and all, I figured I should introduce myself.
I'm
Sergei Velkovanov. I'm a building contractor specializing in Panic
Rooms and Underground structures, specifically, Secure Underground
Server Bunkers, storm shelters, fallout shelters and the like. I've
finished around 25 small to medium sized projects so far, and am
looking for more contracts. I have a Bachelors degree in Civil
Engineering from Michigan State University. I Graduated in May of
1998.
I
was just hired by a local guy to design and build a large underground
bunker for his family and close friends for the inevitable Shit
hitting the fan. I'm very skeptical about any "Apocalyptic"
fads, conspiracy theories and the like. None of the "prophetic"
rants about the "End of the World" have happened; The dates
have come and gone with not so much as a few incidents of mass
suicide. I don't buy into them. On the other hand, however, I do
consider these threats of nuclear war, invasion or government
takeover as something to look into and prepare for. Growing up in
Russia, I saw the fear and panic during the Cold war, and how shitty
it is when the government gets too powerful and begins oppressing her
people. I've learned that being prepared is necessary. I've also
learned that at some point, the government needs to be put into it's
place. They need to be reminded that their reach is getting a little
long.
But
back to my Client. I know him pretty well. I've done other Minor
Remodeling projects for him in the past. His name, for the sake of
confidentiality, is JL. . I am quite familiar with the piece of land
he wants to build on. I hunted there before he bought it. It would
definitely be a prime location for the type of build he wants. I've
got all of the technical drawings done, and just need the green light
to break ground. It's going to be the largest bunker I've built so
far, but It should be relatively simple.
While
I'm working on the project, my Wife and I will be living on site in
my Earthroamer, a ruggedized, durable motorhome built on a beefed up
Ford F650 chassis.
After
doing some research about Lansing, my current city of residence, I
found out that there are 2 existing fallout shelters in the city. One
of which is a city-owned bunker under the Capital Area District
Library at Capitol Avenue and Kalamazoo street. The other is a
privately owned shelter under the greenhouses at the Peckum factory
on Grand River avenue, west of Lansing. If something does happen, the
shelters can only accept about 1500 each.
