Apartment hunting sucks, so I can't blame Bruce Townsley for just plain giving up and moving into an abandoned nuclear missile silo. Actually, after seeing more pictures of the place, I kinda wanna follow his example.
It started as a 2,200 square foot fixer-upper with 6,000-pound blast doors and a "185-foot hole in the ground where a missile armed with a nuclear warhead used to be." It's still a bit of an ongoing project, with the big hole at least covered up, but Townsley seems to love it. I do too. Blast doors and all.
One would have to get used to life without sunlight peeking through shutters, and a gigantic shaft in the center of every round room, but there is a bit of novelty to living in a home like this. If you're interested like I am, then check out Wired for many, many more pictures of this kickass home as well as some pointers on shopping for your own abandoned missile silo.
