Looking for a Story About Upgrading a Safehouse

Are there any really cautious apocalypse stories where the protagonist builds up a safe house bit by bit? I want details like how they make power generators and water systems, and how they upgrade the safe house every day to fend off attackers, without going out to cause trouble. So many apocalypse stories send the characters out to stir things up later on.
