Well I'm just sayin for $50k/each I could quit this "Network
Engineering" crap and go build tower shelters instead and I'd do just fine.

Christ, I could build a pretty badass shelter for $50k.

The listing says the HVAC units have been replaced. So at least they
are not 23 years old :-)
New those shelters are $40k-$50k I think

Probably about the same. But built in 2021 versus 1998. Just think
about supporting those 23 year old HVAC systems and paying that bill
every month. Now think about spending an extra $2500 for modern ones.

Dual HVAC + 200a electric, could you really build that cheaper?

A tower shelter bolted to a concrete pad is exactly what many
companies use. There really isn't any difference between that and a
structure built on site to the same spec. Usually they are prefab
concrete.
These are the design criteria Fiberbond builds to for instance -

We need to upgrade a roadside FTTH cabinet to a small building. I've
never started from scratch before. It will house maybe 2 racks of
equipment. I'm thinking 10x15 or 10x20 footprint. I know a used tower
shelter is an option but I'm leaning towards a real building, maybe
concrete for tornado resistance.
Probably two small Mini Splits for cooling. Power, I'm not sure,
probably dual 48v system although we may have some 120 equipment.
Propane backup generator or course. Probably needs some propane heat
also for winter in Michigan but maybe I could just run the right mini
split and some electric heat for super cold days.
Interested in any other ideas and what stuff do I need to consider
that's not even on my radar.
Thanks,
Chris
