Neighbors believed that Wayne Martin had simply gone crazy. At first, they thought that the hole in the man’s backyard would eventually turn into a swimming pool. But the longer Martin worked, the clearer it became that his idea was completely different.

People did not know about the true ambitions of the cunning man. Having acquired a high-quality shipping container for cheap, Wayne came up with the idea of an ideal underground shelter. The man was confident that he could build a multifunctional room on its basis, from which

Martin did not forget about the well pump, having made a special hole for it.

Next in line were concrete steps, the top of which was located at the same height as the top of the container.

Wayne placed sheets of corrugated metal on top of the beams.

Martin surrounded the hole above the entrance with rebar and cinder concrete.

The end result was a cool, multi-functional shelter and a nice wine cellar.
