Home Sweet Home -For Z-day!

Zombie Realtor takes a real bite out of the market! 

Okay the topic of Z-day has been broached several times to me in the last few months by various friends, as we debated our various plans that we have in place for surviving the zombie apocalypse.  We decided after much debate and arguments that we should consolidate out efforts into one plan so that when it comes we would be organised and in a position to be able to react quickly rather than scrambling.  

As such during the summer several of us took a little day trip to a certain island near where we live (I can’t divulge were or else come Z-day we would be over run by the masses and it would loose it’s strategic value) but the trip allowed us to recky the position of buildings of use, generators, safe harbours, etc that we could when the time comes.  All in all it was very useful and we now have a well formed plan which I will go into on another occiasion as a guide to the creation/formation of your own plans! After the debacle with Judgement Day and the number of e-mails I received from people who were unprepared I feel it is my duty to make sure that everyone is prepared for Z-day…in some small way at least. XD

A few days ago, a friend of mine who we had originally recruited to come up with designs and plans for storage on the island and for the selection of appropriate dwellings sent me information on a competition that was being run by an architecture company asking for designs for  ‘zombie proof’ homes.  

Pros: Isolated Cons: Getting to North Sea

My personal favourite of the current entries is one based upon the redesign of an abandoned north sea oil rig – a little utilitarian but when it comes to a toss up between survival and beauty, survival should win every time and if it doesn’t you need to get your priorities right.   Besides whats to say that glaciers and the floating bodies of the undead that pass by underneath the platform can't be beautiful!  I'm a silver lining type girl after all! 

Pros: Statue of Liberty Cons: Statue of Liberty

For those that value a little scenery and of course the benefit of an island, which offers its own level of security there is a rather ballsy design for a home in the Statue of Liberty, although how you would manage to create this before the apocalypse I would imagine the red tape would be considerable, although it would be both spacious and pretty although logistically it could prove something of a nightmare.  

Pros: No need for additional property Cons: Cholera

There are some interesting concepts for those who are not interested in a full blown escape plan but rather a sort of modification pack for your current dwelling.  It’s rather cool but anyone with any familiarity with books such as The Day of the Triffids will know that after the apocalypse comes the diseases and the pestilence so staying in cities will be a bad idea as things like Cholera and Typhus will quickly take hold so staying in your nice suburb home might seem like a good idea but in the long run its not really tenable.  

Check out the competition and the other entries definitely worth a look if you don’t have your plan Z-day finalised!
