As home projects go, this one’s a doozy. A British dad has buried a retired Boeing 737 in his garden, with plans to turn it into a party room that could also serve as an emergency shelter. Engineer Dave Billings bought the aircraft’s body on Facebook for $5,300 and had it lowered into a 14-foot-deep hole at his Derbyshire home. It will connect to an underground bunker he’s spent years building, complete with tunnels, hidden rooms and secret entrances.
Billings says the main goal is to have somewhere for his family to relax and hold parties. Future plans include electricity, running water, solar power and a lift hidden inside a red phone box for the new bunker, which was inspired in part by his eight-year-old son’s love of planes. The wider project has already cost at least $67-thousand, with more work still ahead.
