I need to get a job with the state, that will prove my sanity, ya think?
I've seen quite a bit of the underground diggings on the History Channel's "Modern Marvels". They sometimes repackage video they have into different shows. So, some things may be seen in several shows. I'm pretty sure parts of the hand dug underground shelters showed up in the following shows.davidtx wrote:My wife watches all those home related programs on HGTV and friends non-stop. Recently there was a program that showed a bunker that some guy built below his house. He is dead now, but they interviewed his wife and son. The first level was very impressive - and then they started showing you secret passages to more rooms and more levels. Apparently this was his hobby/obsession - he dug it all by hand over many years. I tried to find a link to this, but haven't been able to.
If they took them without his permission, no matter what they call it, they were confiscated!Purplehood wrote:Point 1: He did indeed violate building codes. I am sure that digging a 2 to 3 story hole under your house in a residential neighborhood is a violation. In my mind if he was living up on Ruby Ridge with his nearest neighbor being in the next county, it wouldn't be anyones business let alone a code violation.
Point 2: He might have violated hazardous material storage regulations.
Point 3: The Police are storing his weapons while he is unable to enter his residence, and did not confiscate them.
We can all feel free to speculate about the implications of the above points, but as the story currently stands I don't see what the issue really is.

Be careful there isn't a water or sewage line under there.dicion wrote:Man.. this is exactly what I want to do under my foundation!
I figure a room or two would be nice for Z-Day. Store lots of nonn-perishable food down there. Sump pump for when I have power, hand pump for when I don't.
I think I'd definitely brace the walls a little better than he had, though.
Figure I'd saw cut an entry hatch from one my closet floors down into it... cover it with a rug. Would be perfect!
