Inventor digs 12 metre long tunnel from house to shed so he doesn't get wet in the rain

A man has dug a three-metre deep, 12 metre long tunnel under his garden so that he can avoid the rain when he walks to his shed.

YouTuber Colin Furze spent two years digging the tunnel and months removing an astonishing three-and-a-half tonnes of rubble each day. He came up with the idea to connect his shed to his house in Lincolnshire so he wouldn't get wet, the Mirror reports.

His bizarre digging videos have each attracted more than six million views and Colin said it is one of the most enjoyable projects he has ever done. And now that the project is complete, the 42-year-old said it's "much more fun" to use an underground tunnel.
