That’s crazy. I mean it would be cool as F having a tunnel like that. But what a lot of time money and hard damn work
I’m doing something similar going from my storm shelter out under my yard using( 3)40ft shipping containers.

Nice. That’s a good idea. How far down are you? Enough to survive a nuke, lol. My ground is so rocky I’m not sure I could dig out a spot deep enough to bury a container or not. It would take a pretty good size excavator for sure. I’d be better off putting a container at bottom of a hill and bulldoze dirt over top of it and bury it that way. Good luck with that, sounds very cool.

^ Exactly what I was thinking. He said he doesn't heat or cool it though, and I was thinking who heats/cools the crawlspace under the house?

If that was the case, I would also bury the entire system, so the lids are flush mount to the floor, gaining even a few more extra feet.

Heck, I might even keep digging, and discover an entire ancient tunnel network underground, with a lost city, like that one guy in Turkey. Look up man discovers tunnels, and you'll find hundreds of articles of different stories too all around the world.

Imagine finding a cave system under the house, and turning it into a grow bunker?
Since I live in cave country I decided to blow off some leaves in an area that looked “cave friendly’ and discovered this. Looks like a formation of some sort. I’m gonna check the property below this formation at a later time. I’m recovering from a wreck and limited on my abilities at the moment.

I appreciate it. unfortunately that’s the only option for now. I plan on using LST and scrog methods. Hopefully I can spread them out and keep them low enough for this to work. I’ve seen lots of videos of people with the same height and get pretty good yields. I’m totally new to this so all I’m going by is vids, no experience whatsoever.

several years ago, I hired some Mexicans to dig in the crawl space to make it taller. It worked wonders!!! 3 Mexicans worked a full day and I paid them $150 each and I had 3' of dirt removed.
