That's dumb. Everyone knows you are suppose to cover up the windows with removable 2x4's. Where else are you going to get your repair money to buy guns... amateurs.

Well if you do that you need to spend the extra money to block off part of your house so you need to open it with more money and put various switches around your house to finally turn on the power.

While nice I always thought the best design for a zombie apocalypse would be similar to "hurricane proof" house. (On stilts) Just think with a house on say 12' stilts and a retractable staircase they could shamble under the place and as long as you didn't make too much noise they would never know you are there. Of course I would grease the stilts (round steel poles) and have some select points where I could view the underside of the swelling to make sure the "smart one" isn't up to something that would get me dead, or un-dead as the case may be.

I'm thinking this would be a good zombie-proof house until you ran out of provisions.

And if the "smart one" is smart enough to launch a space shuttle, pilot it, dock it, and come get you, well then he deserves to have you for dinner.

And, unless this is in the next few months, BUILD a space shuttle.

I'd go with teflon-coated aluminum. Steel poles would be magnetic and if the "smart one" gets his hands on some magnets to use as hand-holds you're f'ed.

I would put something like this on the stilts, only bigger.
