Perhaps remove a few wheels to make a permenant fixture for some of them. Get some razor wire or at least some barbed wire for the back fence. You will have all the fardens to grow food in so you can seal the back off all the way along. When you feel comfortable you can then cut a section away to expand into the field. You want to endure you don't emit any smoke so prepare for that. With the surface area you will have free you will have a good water collection plus a large area for solar.
One question. What are you going to do with those that don't move out?

You detail no firearms, I'd find that out as I drove towards you.
Crossbows? How many bolts do you have? 10, 20?
Me, I've got 1/2 a dozen guys with shotguns all shooting #00 buck or 1" slugs and unlimited fuel.
Still looking at your sketch.
I see a one way out, a side pathway along the house, joining gardens, and rear access.
Me, I'd put two guys in the rear side garden with shotguns and loads of bottles of petrol, and one behind at 3 o'clock, with a slug firing shotgun. They're job is to put your rear windows in.
Probably one guy at 12 and 6 o clock just out of view in the houses besides you.
Then I'd just keep chucking petrol at you from the sides and behind until you came out the front into the array of weapons behind the vehicles I'd line up.
Sorry pal.
This was a depressing reality check for a minute...
Then I realised with my new plan I'd be escaping through the attics and hiding or escaping from the house 4 doors down while you guys stand outside waiting for me to pop my head out
Seriously the attic escape route is bloody genius, thanks again to whoever mentioned that (NR I think?)
Regarding the neighbours that a couple have asked about - in the beginning they will be ignored as much as possible and I'll be telling them we're out of food ourselves, and waiting for the numbers to thin (I fully expect them to pack up and leave to go join their families before they get close to starving in their homes).
2-3 weeks in I'll reassess the situation. There are 2 guys in the close that I would trust enough to be willing to teach them to make traps, if for no other reason than to stop them getting curious about how we're eating.
If they see me defending my home and make it clear that they would like to do the same, just to help deter raiders from entering the close I would supply some theraband for home made slingshots. But I have no intention of letting any of them know about my storage, and no real intention of forming a group with them other than possibly a mutually beneficial defensive arrangement to give the appearance of strength in numbers. But I'd really rather stay as isolated as possible and give the appearance of a starving, reclusive lunatic who will shoot on a whim
In fact, the first raider I have to shoot (if any) I may go down and slice off his buttocks to give the appearance of being starved and having turned cannibal... nobody's going to want to mess with or join forces with a crazy cannibal
