      He aims to apply for retrospective planning permission on the project, which he hopes to have finished by February.
    Ouch - I hope he's got a few channel fans on local council and doesn't get bitten on the regs.

      There's also a bunch of other videos of other stages of the project up to this point.

    How do you protect against damp in this set-up?

    The planning permission situation could end up being more interesting than the actual construction..

    How long until someone in Reddit points out at asphyxiation hazard, fire hazard, and the fact that the plane used to transport dangerous chemicals?

      Tbh I'm not entirely sure I'd trust a partial plane body to have the mechanical strength for the job. In flight the pressure is pushing out not in, and I assume that's what the thing is designed for.

      Though the thing is only barely buried so I suppose it doesn't actually have much external pressure to deal with.

      I think the planning permission issue is probably even more pressing
