Thanks guys!

Reading too deep into it. I have the engineering specs, due diligence as I am not all that comfortable with what I was given. Home is put together with 3/4 plywood, 5/8 OSB, 2X6, strapping, etc. I do not like the engineered joists but they are 16 or fewer inches apart and strapped. It just seemed to me I wanted a better connection to the slab. garage is 1700sqft and holds my tractor and equipment.

I wanted to double down on the connection to the slab. Like the rod and epoxy. Put in 20 last night. Will tighten tonight, add some more.

Shelter done by "professionals" but, again, I am NOT trusting what I see. Does not feel correct, if you know what I mean. I am re-thinking my path using the FEMA tornado shelter plans. Most of these pre-fab units do not seem to meet the minimum standards. May end up with one of those in-ground scary units...

While I am not in a "tornado alley" you just never know!
