Colin Furze, a YouTuber, documented his three-year project of constructing a secret underground tunnel connecting his workshop, house, and a metal bunker in his garden. The project involved extensive digging, metalwork, and engineering to create a functional and concealed passage, complete with electrical wiring and central heating potential. The tunnel enhances the connectivity between the structures on his property and serves as an entertaining and personal accomplishment. Colin plans to extend the tunnel to the front of his house for vehicle access.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The project began in 2015 with the digging of a huge hole in the garden.
2. A metal underground bunker was constructed in the hole.
3. Three years ago, Colin started digging a tunnel in secret, which would go from his workshop to his house and eventually to the bunker.
4. The tunnel was dug using a hydraulic winch and a laser level.
5. The tunnel's roof plates were made from two-mil steel and were rolled into a curve in the garage.
6. The tunnel's walls were made from steel sheets that were plasma cut to size.
7. The tunnel's floor was made from plywood and was insulated with foam.
8. The tunnel was ventilated using a mixture of gravity and vibration.
9. The tunnel was concreted up to a certain height to provide support.
10. A t-junction was created in the tunnel to allow for future expansion.
11. A steel liner was added to the tunnel's walls to blend with the house.
12. The tunnel was tiled with a brick effect to resemble a subway station.
13. A hydraulic press was installed in the tunnel.
14. A ladder was installed to connect the tunnel to the shed.
15. The tunnel was completed after three years of work.
16. The project was done for entertainment purposes and not for any other reason.
17. The project was sponsored by Surfshark and other sponsors.
18. The project's creator, Colin, makes other things besides digging tunnels, such as screw tanks and hover bikes.
