    only true ballers have a hobbit hole to chill in. Basically the backstory is two years ago some highschool friends and i constructed a hobbit hole in one of their backyards. it's become our hangout for drinking and smoking

    this is a valid concern - we never got a chance to add the proper ventilation so we leave the door open (planning on doing some renovation this summer). we need to add a carbon monoxide detector too

    not really. digging the hole took half a week, then we poured a concrete footer, sunk some rebar into it and started mortaring up the cinder blocks. i was out of town when they finished the actual roof but it's basically a bunch of 6x6 beams and treated plywood. none of us have construction experience so it was a miracle it came out as good as it did.

    it's held up for 2 years now - even during the spring thaw it remains dry inside. the biggest concern is using up all the oxygen or CO poisoning. it's not really secret, you can see it next time you're in the cities

    When I finally own the house I live in (again. I miss my old house) I will do this "For the kids."

    My wife will think it's super sweet. I'll use it as an outdoor cigar smoking room that I don't get rained on when I'm inside.

    Totally awesome.

    i have all sorts of hookah goodness going on.

    Mint, Cherry, Pinanna, Vanilla, Licorice, Mango, Banana, and a few others... hookah is always a good time.


    and the back of the wagon worked well, but we have to be more careful not to spill the coals :p

    Careful, such language could draw attempted bro rape charges...

    Seems like some PVC piping (capped when not occupied by hobbits en fuego), a couple inexpensive fans (one inbound, low on the front wall; one exit out da roof or top of front wall), some rudimentary wiring and a long-ass extension cord could preempt any concerns about finding a bunch of dead smiling hobbits.:)

    I think that a little spring cleaning in that bathroom would probably require a wrecking ball . it's nasty.
