That would end up with no windows, one small and very strong door, walls 3' thick and a flat roof. So, not so much a house, more of a concrete bunker...

Also, while you're at it, fit search lights and sealable gun ports to deter looters.

Better!: old sharpened bamboo in an 18" hole, pre-dipped in doggie doo-doo; old Charlie VC trick with less racket. 10 penny nails will suffice if bamboo from your custom torch-lit Tiki bar(Mai-tai's) out back is in short supply.
