Spanish Teenager Has Fight With Parents. Builds Underground Man Cave
Posted: Friday, May 21st, 2021
After a fight with your parents it’s fair to say that most teenagers will have a strop, slam a door and threaten to run away or something along those lines. A teenager in Spain decided to take a different approach after getting into a heated argument with his parents, taking his frustration out by getting out a pickaxe in the backyard, hacking at the ground and starting what would become the construction of his underground man cave. Andres Canto, 20, from Alicante, Spain, found the activity extremely effective at easing the tension in his life that for years he would come home after school and continue the excavation for hours. 6 years later and this thing has turned into a full scale underground den that comes complete with two separate rooms, lighting, heating and he’s even installed Wi-Fi down there so he can Netflix and chill! As reported by Zenger News, while starting out with just a basic pickaxe, the pace of construction changed when a friend brought over a pneumatic drill. Between the two of them, the project became a 9.8-foot-deep (3-meter) cave, occupying the young men for up to 14 hours a week. Digging was mainly done by hand, with buckets to carry the soil from the hole. Eventually, Canto decided to study other excavation techniques and came up with the idea of using a pulley system. He reinforced his cave roof using arched entrances and vaulted ceilings reinforced with columns, as well as concrete walls to prevent collapses. (H/T KUTV)
