Personally I think that's pretty pointless
I'm guessing he wouldn't have bothered unless it was a sponsored project

I think it works for him as it allows him to make noise and do things he wouldn't otherwise be able to in a residential area.

That's true. I've seen a few of his videos. The bunker works for the stuff he does.

Brilliant - Colin builds some fantastic stuff. I do feel he's running out of ideas at the moment, i could be wrong of course.
I'd love an underground room, not from a prepping point of view, but easy to maintain and nice and hidden, thats the main attraction for me.

Fit a lift in the shed and it would be great bike storage/workshop.

We contemplated installing a shipping container underneath the workshop. I wish I had done it now but I didn't have the money at the time.
Potentially I could have installed a lift in order to store my bike underground, something which I would isolate from inside the house meaning it's nearly impossible to be nicked. I would have then had a bar upstairs.

I really fancy doing this but my house was built on an old Roman quarry.

You might make a discovery that'll pay for the project

My bad. I thought you meant that it was the site where the rock was quarried, so there was a settlement there.

It is built where the rock was quarried, that's the problem it's built on solid bedrock. Well not a problem, unless you want to dig down!

Surely if you need to move rock, It’s a piece of piss.
One dynamite stick should do it.
