Those are called "elevators" you dork! - cmdrwhitewolf, on 10/12/2007, -23/+87In preparation for the our beloved governments upcoming raids like back in Nazi Germany I wonder?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+50zybch:
I buy electronic gadgets on impulse.. But you, sir, buy houses on impulse. That's rich. :-) - redxii, on 10/12/2007, -0/+39Yeah, this room has windows. A Linux panic room has no windows.
- Hegemony, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Publishing pics of your secret room kind a defeats the purpose... neat though.
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+34Mom, Dad, Tom Cruise is in the Secret Room and he won't come out!
- humblepatience, on 10/12/2007, -2/+32"Although hard data is not available, architects report an increase over the last five years in the number of clients installing concealed rooms." Now that's what I call investigative conjecture. I mean journalism.
Oh well, I always wanted a secret room and was jealous of anywhere I heard that had one. - ekleinunt, on 10/12/2007, -2/+30*rimshot*
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+24is that like a panic room but less secure?
cool idea though :-) - CrackHappy, on 10/12/2007, -4/+27I have a really good friend who actually built two secret rooms. They are both BDSM dungeons. They're frigging awesome.
- rolfeman02, on 10/12/2007, -2/+24AssfaceJackson...you're an idiot.
- fjvwing, on 10/12/2007, -1/+23Who are these people who buy enormous houses with left-over rooms they don't need?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Well, I was living in another town, and this house came on the market at a stupidly low price and it is directly behind my best friend's house as well.
I had to get a small loan for it, but I don't have to rent any more so it was well worth it.
It not like I make a habit of buying homes or anything. - splash, on 10/12/2007, -1/+22I'm pretty sure that the digg effect won't affect a major website like NY Times
- baumgarr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21I didn't realize I was being trendy, but I just put in a hidden room. It is just a storage room and I did it more for my kid's entertainment than anything. It isn't hard. Buy a bookcase, but roller casters on the bottom, and attach it to hinges.
The hard parts were hiding the gap where it swings, hiding the bottom gap where it is on rollers, and a locking mechanism. By making it swing inward I could use the trim to hid the gaps where it swings. The hidden room has a concrete floor but the room to access it is carpet, so the carpet hid the casters on the bottom. A simple door stop with a spring acted as a good lock. I ran a string attached to a book to pull up the door stop to unlock.
All told, I think I spent about $150.00. It isn't the coolest door in the world but it works. Eventually I want to make it a wine room, but right now it is a toy storage area. - millixaw, on 10/12/2007, -2/+22Pretty cool, until the government declares that only terrorists and people who want "kiddie porn dungeons" are the people who use them.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+20The house I recently bought has a kind of hidden room. I didn't even realise it was there for a few days after I moved in (it was an impulse buy and I hadn't actually inspected it before I bought) and started wondering why the outside dimensions were somewhat larger than the inside ones.
I think it might have been used for a large walk-in robe or closet, the door was flush with the wall and I thought it was just a bad plastering job.
I'll be sticking a PC in there, and my not-quite legal DVDs etc :) - merdiesel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+15That stair case one is bad ass!
- Jrr6415sun, on 10/12/2007, -5/+20nice summary...
- Avalontor, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16I just hope they never have a fire and are trapped in their secret room. Firefighters usually don't spend a lot of time inside the burning structure looking behind bookshelves for unconscious victims of smoke inhalation, etc.
- Democritus2, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16for clarity-- Bondage Domination Sado-Masochism
for the uninformed. - cviebrock, on 10/12/2007, -0/+13Surely you mean for the uniformed.
- weirdlookinguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10I wouldn't mind something like this.... stash my three desktop PC's and two laptops in there........ actually now that I think about it that would ne neat! Not all of us had the luxury of deciding how our homes would be built though :(.
- rasterbator, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10What is the point of having a secret room if you leave the door open when you are inside?
- apetrie, on 10/12/2007, -9/+17well-lighted? Must the english language continue to be dumbed down? Well lit! Its not that hard.
- Anomaly427, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Excellent point. I just changed my plans for my future ultimate secure house to handle that um, issue.
- EtherGnat, on 10/12/2007, -5/+12Either is correct.

It is you, sir, who are dumbed down. The only thing dumber than correcting others' spelling and grammar on the Internet is doing so and being wrong. - Mesach, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8http://hiddenpassageway.com/
Fixed the ***** up link - meefin, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8You all need to check out this site: http://hiddenpassageway.com/http://hiddenpassageway.com/. They build hidden passages for you! Really cool.
- maklershed, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Webster?
- Lane, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5just what every girl needs a room to store her boyfriend!
- tastypastry, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I did a security alarm system for a somewhat famous person earlier this week and he had a few secret rooms. One was pretty neat, he had all of his networking componets in there for his cameras and internet gear. Actually they weren't that secrect since his son kept coming out of them. They were book shelves that swung open by the way.
- Baulz, on 10/12/2007, -7/+11I love you. lol.
- Rosco, on 10/12/2007, -4/+7It puts on the lotion.
- tmiller51, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Plus, you can keep your weed in there.
- serra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I've always wanted to secret room, one that has a pole that slides from the second floor bedroom down to the garage for a quick getaway from criminals!
- Barryke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Measuring is changing it.
Lets start callling these ex-secret rooms.
Also; kinda relates of Schrödingers cat. - optikshell, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2I'm pretty sure one of my computer science professors has one of these. One day when I'm not a poor college student I'd love to have something like this. As for now, my hiding spot is under my bed... or wearing a cammo t-shirt.
- fallenone05, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2If she notices, just throw her in there and lock her for eternity
- piratearggghhh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2The gimp has to sleep somewhere...
- Mesach, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6So are you the Dom? or the Sub?
- Barryke, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2@humblepatience
"Oh well, I always wanted a secret room and was jealous of anywhere I heard that had one."
But then it is not a *secret* room anymore, is it?
Think on the bright side. - datastorageguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Now if I can only have it installed without my girlfriend noticing...
- signal15, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2[insert dead hooker joke here]
- AriaStar, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@ humblepatience: Impulse-buying a house? I take it you are no where near the Bay Area/Silicon Valley.
- SelfAppointedMe, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Damn you Webster !! I'll have my hidden rooms and passages one of these days.
- inactive, on 02/23/2008, -0/+1That's great find
