Nailgun's Zombie Survival Plan

Okay, I do not believe that there is any real danger that zombies will attack.  But sometimes I like to think about odd things while I am commuting. While driving, my brain goes off in interesting directions, and for some reason it went in the direction of zombies. 

The first question to consider is what kind of zombies will they be.  The really slow and stupid ones from The Last Man on Earth, or the slightly quicker, able to pick up rocks to pound on windows ones from AMC's Walking Dead.  I am going with a kind of middle ground, stupid and rather slow, but probably attracted to noise and light.  I am guessing they do not sleep all day like The Last Man on Earth.  That would be entirely too convenient, after all if they are asleep all day, all the survivors would have to do is have a secure shelter during the night, and hold up. 

I already have a number of gardening tools that would work very conveniently for the slaughter of zombies.  Doesn't everyone own a machete, loppers and a samurai sword? Granted, none of these items are as sharp as they should be.  But if a zombie attack seems imminent that can be remedied.  I also have sturdy shoes, which are a good idea, for running, climbing, and general scrambling around. I do have a re-curve bow, and know how to use it, but need to practice some.  The cutting torch will also come in handy.

I have a place to hold up picked out as well.  The house would require too much modification.  My first choice of refuge would be the county jail.  It has a lot of positive things going for it: small difficult to break windows, an emergency generator, a tall fence, metal doors which can be welded shut.  It also has an exercise yard completely surrounded by the building, for zombie free fresh air. 

Another advantage of the jail would be that there should be a supply of food available in the kitchen.  I would imagine that there a a lot of canned goods stored there.  I have never actually been in the jail, so the food part is pure speculation, but they have to have some.   It is not too far from town so that carefully planned food runs can be made if food becomes an issue. 

If there are still inmates inside who are zombified, they should be locked in cells, so that they can be dispatched at a distance. I have not really thought through the disposal of bodies yet.  I imagine that burning in the parking lot would be the most expeditious, thought perhaps not the best smelling,  solution.  It is important to make sure the zombies are "dead" before burning, because nothing spoils a party like a burning zombie stumbling around setting other things on fire. 

If the jail scenario does not work out, there are several warehouses in town which have few to no  windows  on the ground floor and could therefore be quickly secured.  This would require more effort, lack of electricity, food, and other niceties, but it is doable.
