[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] I am a home-improvement type contractor and got a call from a man with a townhouse in Centerville.  When I went to the house I was met at the door by someone who looked like Stephen Hawking but he could stand and walk around.  He took me inside and I had to walk through the house sideways because there was so much stuff everywhere,  it wasn’t trash and strewn about like a hoarder would have but I remember  that there was basically five and six neatly stacked boxes of everything you could imagine all over- five brand new Hamilton Beach blenders, three toaster oven‘s, 10 boxes of  kodiak photographic paper, five Gateway computers,  huge Costco sized boxes of dry goods, stack after stack after stack of four and five pristine items just lined up everywhere.  It didn’t smell and although absolutely packed to the ceiling was very clean.

I asked about the logistics of working on the outside of the house and requested to see the backyard, I looked down out of the back second story window and saw nothing but galvanized corrugated steel sheeting that you would see on a commercial building before they pour a concrete floor. 
 I told him that I didn’t know if I could place ladders on it and would like to see what was below the corrugated steel, it took some insisting on my part  but he brought me down to the  first floor where he opened the door to the backyard;  once he opened the door I could look down almost 40 feet.

This person with the help of another really weird guy had excavated the entire footprint of his townhouse backyard down nearly 40 feet and I believe there was a tunnel  down there as well, all of this was done without the use of a machine  and it was carried out of the back fence in 5 gallon buckets bit by bit.  The sides of the tunnel were reinforced with timber cribbing and they had pumps running to remove water.

I was so freaked out by these two that I never submitted a proposal to work there but I think they were building some type of Y2K bunker.  I can’t believe his house or his neighbors didn’t collapse into the monstrous hole he dug  behind it

This has nothing to do with the tunnel in Maryland but it reminded me of it, the lunatic I visited also had all sorts of mechanical and computer devices  throughout the house that I’ve never seen anything like before. [/quote][/quote]
