I spent 10 years and $800,000 renovating an Arkansas missile silo. It's my greatest accomplishment, but I don't recommend others try it.

"...One day, I was getting my haircut in Searcy, Arkansas. These old guys were talking about the missile silos that were around Arkansas. I'd never heard about these places that housed nuclear missiles, so I started researching. ...The place has 7,000-pound doors. Its three floors are made out of a steel structure nicknamed "the birdcage."

It's on eight springs and actually hangs from the ceiling. And the reason is if it gets hit by a bomb, it allows the structure to shake to try to preserve the equipment and the people inside."
