Galen alerted me to this magnificent piece of household engineering. I too have a crawlspace here at the HQ, and some yellow hardhats, although sadly none with pickle embellishment. Watch and be amazed.
This winters project, excavate under the house and garden? One problem, the water table is pretty close so it would have to be a canal!. Love it, thanks for the link.
The reason I have a crawlspace there is it's solid rock underneath, and when my basement was 'excavated' in the late '40s, it was dug out by men with shovels, or so I'm told. No excavations for me!
I would venture to guess that the name of the video pays homage to the book Forty Feet Below:: The Story of Chicago's Freight Tunnels. If you want to see the trains in action stream or rent Union Station with Bill Holden.
Incredible! Oh, to be a kid riding that train.
ReplyDeleteEven the non-kid in me wouldn't mind giving it a try.
DeleteAgreed. But as a kid everything would look even bigger and neater.
DeleteThat is very true.

ReplyDeleteInteresting! I'll have to look into that. Thanks!
