In 2019 I bought a 110 year old farmhouse that had a WW2 Bunker in the back garden. I found out it was previously owned by a lieutenant from WW2. The house itself is on a hill that is only a few miles from a military base (which is still used to this day). He must have built this shelter for himself and his family. It's only small, and although it looks quite near the house, the house has been extended quite a bit since the original building from 1910. This is a video highlighting how I renovated the bunker. It is not a perfect restoration, and my aim was not to make it look like something from WW2. I wanted to put my own touch on it. As I delved further into the history of the house and the area, I found out that it was used to release barrage balloons in to the air to raise the bomber planes higher and make them an easier target for the guns on the nearby airfield to hit (if they were flying low they come across you faster and it becomes harder to hit the target). I hope you enjoy this video, and thank you for watching!

Wow. Great job! Underground space, even so tight can be very useful. But I personally have some safety concerns: 1. When you are inside the bunker, there is couple of tons of wet soil above your head. Only thing protecting you is a layer of 100 years old concrete of unknown thickness, and you can literally see cracks in it. And nothing was done to reinforce it (besides stuffing cracks with some putty). Seems like you are very confident in WWII lieutenant's engineering skills... 2. No ventilation. It is mandatory in any underground structure. Sadly, carbon dioxide is heavier than air and won't go out of your bunker by itself. If you plan to sleep there you need to vent this place. 3. There will be a lot of moisture getting in, and pump can't fix wet walls. Better insulation needed, as well as some drying solution. Wet walls are BAD. Besides obvious structural damage to old concrete, it may cause a lot of biological hazards. Also, I don't know why you made solid hatch cover. It was much better with roof window, much brighter and comfortable. Isn't it better to make reclining grill with transparent roofing?

It was just meant to huddle in to wait out a bombing run, not shelter for an apocalypse or enemy invasions.

@K.M.V S hi. its 4.5 acres of woodland too. with no services! But it did have planning permission already for the conversion of the two buildings. It was around 250k. It was a blind auction and we had to demonstrate our understanding of the costs to complete the project. quite a mad process.

My ancestral house in Basilan Philippines used to have one of these WWII bunkers. My uncle inherited the house and he used it for storage for a couple of decades until the house was renovated. At one point, it houses the house's generator in case of black outs. The story goes when Japs landed in Manila, my grandfather and his sons began to dig the bunker with some help from the neighbors. It was the biggest bunker in the local area - about half the size of the house, around100sqm, at some point during the war, it became the armory for the whole neighborhood. they stockpile weapons in there and there are holes in the front where you could lay down on your stomach and fire a gun facing the highway. It was hiding in plain sight as the bunker is directly under the house - like a makeshift basement. The bunker never saw action but there is definitely military presence. After the war, some gun owners didn't claim their guns back and my grandfather surrendered most of the weapons to the military. Some of it remained. The bunker was last used in 2001 for its true purpose during the Siege of Lamitan, they cleaned it out to make enough room for some soldiers to use it as a place to rest. My grandma cooked home made food for them. :) The bunker was filled in during major house renovations in 2010s but before that, we uncovered bunch of items, both pre and post-war era, things like: 1. Old rusty guns like pistols, shotguns, rifles (some are beyond repair due to rust) 2. Decommissioned American and Japanese hand grenades -They were put out professionally as I am told. We got rid of them. 3. Motorcycle parts - we still have them! 4. My grandfather's 1960s Honda Benly CA95 that we plan to restore - it still runs! 5. Bunch of motorcycle parts (My dad and uncle are avid motorcycle enthusiasts as do I) - we still have those parts. 6. Bunch of truck parts like differentials, engine blocks, stuff like that (my grandfather was a trucker). All 8 trucks were sold one by one for his medication of diabetes until his death in 1994 (I was 4). 7. Various 1950s Chevy sedan parts (My grandfather sold the car back in the 80s) 8. Rusty Oil drums 9. Bunch of old machetes - some are beyond repair. 10. A workbench and a huge pile of tools. My uncle still have it, he restored those tools and table. 11. Bones of small animals that decide to die there like mice, bats, lizards, etc. We got rid most of the items there that has no value and some remain in the family as a heirloom like a rusty Winchester Model 12 shotgun that now hangs over the new dinning room entrance, the Honda Benly, motorcycle parts, and a couple of WWII memorabilia.

A friend of mine here in Germany once tried something similar with an old air raid shelter. Unfortunately, the German reinforced concrete was stronger than expected, much stronger, and we had to stop our project. Thanks for that Grandpa!

Love how one of the steps was “camp out in the bunker”. Hahaha. That’s awesome. And I imagine so many more stories behind the house.

The opening scenes have the making for a decent horror movie

what a project,enjoyed every minute of it.well done to you and daddy,

Labor of love. Thanks for sharing!

All the way from Texas, got to say you’ve done a heck of a bang up job on this.

Hi, I lived at that house for many years between 1988 and 2003. I am not so sure of your history findings but if you like I could give you a few clues. I used the air raid shelter to store apples from the garden

You just added more value to your property. Great work!!!

In 2019 I bought a small house in Michigan. The date we closed on the house we found the bunker. It's about 10' x 12' with a single vertical shaft providing access. It has a well (not working), a sump and a septic system. When we first checked it out, the entrance was completely blocked with old roofing shingles. It literally took me months to clean it out. Nowadays, I just use it for storage of emergency items.

Oh my gosh is anyone else crazy in love with his toolbox organization🤩

instead of running a heater it's usually much more effective to combine this with running a fan that blows air into a relatively tight tunnel (with some plastic and tape) from the entrance to the exit. The constant renewal of the air causes humidity in floor and walls to equalize with surrounding air rather than moisture becoming suspended into the air when just heating (and subsequently condensing onto walls/floor once the temperature drops again)

don't use plastic anchors for the ladder after 2 or 3 year unsafe to use . use metal anchors for safety.

Thought the same. I don't know if I'd trust the screws either. What were those, #10's? Screws don't have a huge amount of sheer strength. For a rope bridge we built, the engineer required us to bore 1" holes 6" deep into the concrete and use a special epoxy to fix the bolts in place. I also know that OSHA regulations in the States require a different shaped rung for individual rung ladders so that feet can't slide off the ends of the rung. And a counterweighted hatch.

Not true. Im an electrician and use those same 1/4" anchors all the time. Ive seen some over 10years old that still are holding. Typically its the pressure/use of whatever is anchored that makes it fail and then its usually the concrete around the anchor that will degrade. Plastic basically lasts forever.
