There's a lady on Instagram that goes by the handle 'engineerkala', who's been building a tunnel/mine below her home and learning the process along the way. I'm pretty sure one day the account will go dark when she's entombed herself a hundred metres below her living room, but until that comes it's a fascinating and extremely entertaining page to watch.

- moron4hire 8mo agoShe is clearly autistic. And she is relatively intelligent. But she's not as smart as she seems to think she is. Some of the things she shows in her videos, complaining about code enforcement cracking down on her... yeah, no, she's going to be the object lesson on why the code exists.
- maxbond 8mo agoOn the other hand the code enforcement forced her to take a year to demonstrate her tunnel was safe, so she may be the illustration of the reasons the code exists in that she survives and finds another seam of rock to build her castle with. Who knows. I think it's wonderful that weirdos like her exist, whatever neurology they have.
- King-Aaron 8mo agoShe certainly managed to pass and allowed her to continue, so I'd agree here. Having spent some time underground with work I just have the fear of these kinds of projects, but she definitely has the knack for it.
- dyauspitr 8mo agoI don’t know how Colin Furze hasn’t come up in this thread yet. He has built a sprawling series of tunnels and rooms under his home and not in some cursory, lip service way like Kala.
- mindslight 8mo agoRead the article and find out!
- dyauspitr 8mo agoI got about halfway through and didn’t see him mentioned. Edit: lol he’s in the first paragraph.
