Something like this will definitely raise the value of a house.
Gary Machens, of Alton, Ill., had no idea that the tunnel was sitting underneath his house until he had to repair the sidewalk, Fox 2 Now reports. According to him, the sidewalk had started to slope and he needed to excavate and repack the area. He described the tunnel to the news outlet, saying, "So, it was at least 9 feet tall. We’re standing on about a foot of dirt and it’s 9 feet wide and how far back it goes, we don’t know. We know it goes back 60 feet."More Related News
