The Hidden Room
Okay now, this is just too cool! The boy in every man would just love to have a hidden room. I know I would. The pictures in the article show a bookcase/door, and a staircase that hinges upward leading to a hidden room.
One of my pipe-dreams is to convert my unused pool in my backyard into a below ground library. It would be accessed by trap door in the floor of my computer room, down a descending staircase, through a short hallway, and into the library. Since the pool already exists (its dry), I would break out and dispose of the existing concrete. Then square up the walls and floor. Forms would have to be made, and reinforced concrete poured for the floor and walls. I'm not entirely sure how to form the ceiling, but it would have topsoil for a lawn, or maybe build it up a bit and have a shallow decorative pond or fountain. Hmm, that may prove to be a disaster in the making. Okay, I'll leave it as a lawn.
But that would be the ultimate, to have my own secret room.
I can dream, can't I?
