All block except the roof.
Yep, gonna do a phone and low voltage backup lighting.

Still undecided about putting power in or out of room.

| Your call... but, if the door fails secure, which it should, and the perp
| has access to the control, you need to consider a mechanical type rex
button
| (pneumatic type possibly) and not an electronic type rex device and that
| connection needs to stay within the protected area and not the control/pwr
| supply. I usually add an emergency button and if budget allows a dedicated
| phone line, which I also use for the alarm panel. I put a wall phone in as
| well. Safe rooms can be used for storm protection as well as personnal
| protection during a crime. A phone is handy as long as there is service. I
| know someone here mentioned a cellphone, but in a bunker you don't alway
| have cell signal, so I would be leary of limiting it to this suggestion
| alone. Have electrical outlet for TV/Radio and an exhaust fan. Put the
light
| on a dimmer switch. Total light or total darkness can get to a person if
| they spend an extended amount of time in there. Any wall that is not block
| or concrete, line with 3/4" plywood before drywall. Makes the door jamb a
| little tricky but that is why they have split jambs or extention jambs.
But
| then again you said this one is to late...Oh well...there is always next
| time.
