That place is awesome. Those people must have some big cash, but at least they're doing something useful with it. So many people seem to squander it on pure luxury... at least that place has some utility to boot.

That would have to do its transformers routine pretty quickly to be useful, at least against unexpected hordes of zombies.

Yeah. You'd be safe, but the concrete would squash them against the windows, so you'd have to get some guns for any that survived that. Plus get your windows replaced after.

[shock]

Awesome.

I wonder how he filters air in there when it is closed.  Presumably, the roof, but I could see that being a weak point.

Is it pirate-proof?
ninja-proof?

Holy shit!  That house is awesome.   Absolutely ridiculous (well, just the hinged concrete barricades really), but fucking awesome.

[Cools!]

Zombie-proof, and also escape proof. *wink* *wink*

The house, with its movable walls, has only one entrance, which is located on the second floor after crossing a drawbridge.

Ok, 2nd flood and a drawbridge are good, but only one entrance/exit is bad.

Yeah, I was wondering about that.  I'd be amazed if there was anywhere in the western world that would allow you to do that - residential or no.  Obviously, that only refers to when the concrete shutters are in place, but even then, I'm suprised it would be permitted.

I'm just talking zombie apocalypse. If you only have one way out and its blocked for whatever reason (drawbridge broken, drawbridge destination swarming with zombies, etc) then you are trapped. Hope that place has a well stocked basement.

No. no no no no stop no no no.

NO. Stop. no.

Excellent point.  I think the ideal solution would be a hidden subterranean tunnel.

Or an adjustable entry point, like a rope, or a two-way zipline. Zombies can't zipline, right?
