I found an abandoned WW2 bunker in my back garden. I decided to renovate it. Here is the full bunker renovation video. When I looked back at the deeds of the 110 year old farmhouse, I noticed it had been owned by a lieutenant. I'm guessing he built this bunker for his family to go inside when there was an air raid. The bunker itself was only small, and although it sits quite close to the house, it would have been much further away as the house had been extended quite a bit since ww2. I used a mixture of hand tools and power tools and decided to clear the bunker first, then seal it with specialist masonry sealant. I then built an escape ladder and folding escape hatch. Originally it was just an air vent, but that meant there was only one way in and out of the bunker. So with the escape ladder and hatch it means there are two ways to get in and out of the bunker.

WOODSMAN LONG SLEEVE T-SHIRT Black / S
Limited shipping areas
TA Merchandise
For me the woods is my escape. When I am in the woods, I feel life's stresses just drift away. Being at one with nature, the peace and tranquility which soothes my soul. I wanted to portray that feeling in this Long Sleeve T-shirt design. It features an actual image of my small canvas poncho tent and woodstove. With an image of my hatchet in the chopping log. The scene is set amongst a backdrop of trees, with a small river trickling past the tent. It represents a very important time in my life, and for those of you that enjoy the woodlands and forests, I hope that this Long Sleeve T-shirt helps you to remember those tranquil times! - Mike • 100% jersey knit • Pre-shrunk • Classic fit • Double-needle ⅞” collar • Taped neck and shoulders • Long sleeve, ribbed cuffs • Quarter-turned Please note, we have two printing and shipping locations, one in the USA and one in Europe.

I build storage inside, and my Dad came along and helped build a folding bed. We also dug a sump hole to fit a pump so that if the bunker filled with rain water we could pump it out easily. Finally, I completely renovated the door as it looked like it had been left to the elements over decades. I used aluminium tread plate and bolts to secure it and protect it from the rain.
