The Home Crowd

I’m not even sure where I came across this, likely saved from one of those e-mails that are forwarded again and again.  But it’s both hilarious and impressive.  Seems like there’s a couple of access points, likely from the garage and also that fake boulder in the yard.  I’m sure under one of the neighboring boulders, you’ll find a spare key to the house.  And what is that?  Is that a vault door?

And what a terrible choice for a garden.  No wonder they hid it underground, no flowers to speak of.  They must have hidden their “garden” to avoid their friends and neighbors laughing at them.  However, after the homeowner was put away, for what I’m certain would be an extremely long sentence, I’d love to see what happened to their subterranean getaway.  More than likely, it was filled in, but with a little proper reinforcement, I’m sure it could find another use.

• Home theater? (Crank up that movie as loud as you want, gophers can’t complain, if anything, they up and move away…. Double bonus!)
• Kids play room? (Oh no, not completely unsupervised, get one of those security cameras!  See anything hilarious?  Save and upload to Youtube)
• Guest room? (For unwanted guests!  And just to punctuate the point, keep a proper guest room in the house, with windows and proper ventilation and heating and such, yet dump your unwanted guest underground.  Next time, they’ll find a proper hotel.)

• Game room? (Oh no, not pinball and billiards, we’re talking archery, paintball, indoor shooting range.  You know?  All the fun things you’d do in your backyard if not for the neighbors having you arrested.)

Hmm… I’m not sure how they got caught, but I’d definitely be tipped off if someone happened to purchase 200 white buckets from the hardware store.

Frenchman Gerard Brion has spent the last 15 years re-creating the city of lights in his garden using junk, such as scrap wood, concrete blocks, and tin cans.

And apparently from the picture above, he has a great affection for congested traffic. Looks more like the ‘city of headlights’!

According to the Sun UK, Gerard is 29, which meant he began his hobby at 14 years of age?? Wow. I did see the picture of him on their article, and he looks damn near 45. Also, he probably still lives at home if he began this in his adolescence , but it’s a fun pic of him posing with the Eiffel tower within a terrific accomplishment (Not pictured: Wife, social life, disgruntled parents due to tourists in their yard)

How is this relevant? I’m filing it under “Landscaping”

More pics here at Linternaute, and a short article, but great slideshow at The Sun UK. (And yes, I do believe that is a spider-man action figure atop the Eiffel Tower on the main pic at The Sun article)

He might as well, it doesn’t seem as if he’ll be driving anywhere soon.

After recent rains near the Illinois river. Good thing is, he built on a high spot.
