Is Gravedigger finished looking for the little girl? Maybe he can come help you.

I've always wanted to figure a way to bore into the side of the mountain that's on my property. That would be one cool storage shed

Perhaps a pick and shovel.

Stan Anderson of the S. Anderson winery (now Cliff Lede) in Napa had his hill bored out for wine aging, sometime in the 70s IIRC. Picture of the modernized version on this page - http://cliffledevineyards.com/about/story/ - at the 2005 mark.

so we all drove over to the site where Stan had a coal mining machine dig a cave deep into the hillside. Neato, musty cave with lots of casks, bottles, riddling racks, candles, and the whole schmear.

Perhaps a pick and shovel.

I've actually got a backhoe, and a full sized jackhammer. The mountainside is almost solid rock - or it is extremely fragile shale. So, unless I can find a tunnel boring rig, I'm probably not going to get that project done in my lifetime. If we can get a dozen people together willing to work for beer, it's probably possible.

This thread is almost as good at the GraveDigger one a while back.

I often think that I could have doubled the size of my house if I started digging and supporting the the slab from underneath.

And, with the decomposed granite under the slab, I would have had to work at it every stinking day.

One of my friends lived in a house with one of these under the driveway.
The entrance hatch was in the garage.

I love this diagram of the Clever family dressed to the nines in their bunker with no crapper.

Go to whitecap construction supply. Ask about xypex. Its a cementitious product that seals from the negative or inside of a below grade wall. Positive side or outside is usually sealed with a rolled on membrane of bituthene or 3 foot rolls of that same membrane. Youll need to protect any membrane with a foam board also sold at whitecap. Protects from bac kfillwhich mau contain sharp rocks or other sharp objects.

Thank You!!!
