How zombie-proof is your house?

[ApocalypseNowt]

It's something I wonder about quite a bit.

Say the zombie apocalypse is here. For whatever reason you can't leave your house with your bug out bag so you need to batten down the hatches and stay put. How suitable a stronghold would your house be?

I'm quietly confident about mine. It's a back to back terrace so no nasty surprises from the rear oo-er. The front yard is small but has a high wrought iron fence on top of a brick wall. Gate is high too and if i got a bike lock I think I'd be ok. If they did breach the yard windows are again quite high, some have bars on and our door is quite sturdy.

Final stand would be in the old coal cellar or the converted attic.

We have one spare room if anyone needs it btw.

Doomed here. Too much glass.
Might be able to hold out in the loft for a few days.
I suppose I could sharpen DH's ornamental samurai sword and go out swinging. Would a chefs blowtorch be useful?
I have actually seen Night of the Living Dead. It seemed to me that as long as you had good carpentry skills and weren't a raving loon, then you'd be ok.

My kids love zombies, they'd be letting them in and making them play before I could panic

Can they get through double glazing?

We're in a large village / small town but on the outskirts of a major city. Back onto woods and have a 6 foot fence there but it wouldn't hold up to a herd.
Front fence and gate aren't high enough to keep them out.
We don't have enough food and water to last long and no weapons.
Maybe I should stock up a survival cupboard.
I've always thought at the first sign of trouble we'd stock up the car with essentials, steal a boat and go live on the island in the middle of the nearest loch. Be bloody cold though.

I think we are basically fucked

Dh has just pointed out that due to his hoarding of wood we should have plenty to barricade the windows

He will be delighted (for 10 mins) if there is a zombie attack as he will be able to prove he was right to hoard it all

Ds1 has a t shirt which says

The worst thing about a zombie outbreak will be trying to hide how excited i am...

Cigars a chef's blowtorch would be extremely useful. I should imagine that zombies would catch fire beautifully.

We've got too many windows, in the middle of the village (ex shop), so we're seriously vulnerable, but we do have shotguns and a flame thrower, aka weed burner.
So we will hopefully hold them off until we can escape to our safer cottage in Scotland, or most likely, go down fighting.
Anyone got any thoughts on vicious dogs versus zombies?

I hope you all have shutters or heavy blinds. The only thing keeping you safe is if the zombies can’t see you’re there...

We'd be fucked! I would offer DP as a sacrifice to save myself and DC as he has the biggest brain. But yep, we'd be fucked!

If they decide to arrive today I currently have a snarling, hormonal teenage girl, her sister who is a scout and is very good at outdoorsy stuff both of which I can put out the front door. Outside the back I have a psychotic rabbit that is spending time working out how to get at next doors dog, Zombies should be easy prey for it.
