The water, food, WASTE, Carbon Dioxide, etc.; those are the real challenge.
Never forget the over-pressure of a blast, similar to a hurricane wind loading.
Then, there are the people, the ones that will be forced to prey on you.
The best solution I ever saw was a fake house, with separate full bunker below.
Don’t forget to hide the air intake in a very special way, along with the exhaust.
On a cold night or morning, if there is a steam condensation cloud out of the vent…
Game over…

You would first need to see what kind of foundation the house sits on.
If its a slab, you will have to cut through it and excavate the dirt.
You will also need to build up supports with concrete blocks as you remove the dirt.
If your home is sitting on “piers” then you can dig between them but not too much as they will cave in and the house could collapse.

Like only way to get in and out of the bunker is in your house.
If yes, how would you build it without making the house collapse on top of you?
