Irwin decided to recruit a friend’s help. He thought it was smart to have some backup in case the ground collapsed and he was trapped underneath. Imagine being trapped underground and nobody being able to help you since they can’t even hear you scream!
But first things first — the group of friends wanted to build a safer entrance to the shelter. This way, they could ensure the structure was stabler and had much fewer risks of a disaster. They added more concrete to rebuild the entrance and were ready to finally discover what was going on underneath their feet. They were about to be very surprised.
Professional Touch
So far, it seemed like a bomb shelter with some sort of electric fan. Whoever built this was no amateur but someone who knew exactly what they were doing. And what’s weirder, they apparently planned to be down there for a long time.
When Irwin saw the professional air fan, he knew there was no way this was built on a whim. No one takes time and invests in such a way unless they were worried and knew that the air fan would come into use. This was no kid's hide-and-seek spot.
Walking Down History
Irwin wanted to clean up the staircase so he could carry out his investigation safely. He realized there was a lot of rubble to clear since part of the walls and some stair steps themselves had started to chip off and fall everywhere. The staircase path down and the entire floor were covered with ruins. Irwin used buckets to clear away the debris and emptied them outside. There was a lot of work in front of him, however, he had to get to the bottom of this.
After much hard work and labor, Irwin managed to clear the staircase. He could finally see clearly and view the structure properly so he could determine what on earth it could be. It was definitely a shelter of sorts, but there was still a lot of space to be examined. Was it a simple, small underground shelter? Or were there secret pathways and tunnels leading somewhere? Maybe even to a second set of stairs! He was about to find out.
They Gave It All They Could
Clearly, the area hadn’t been touched in years, and Irwin and his friends had a lot of work to do. It took them days to rebuild the entrance, but once they finished making sure it was sturdy and secure, they placed steel rods just as an extra measure.
These rods were to be the body for a new structure they were building, a sort of tunnel entrance to their new-found shelter. Irwin realized that his planes were constantly changing. He began digging in the ground to discover what was hidden underneath, and now he found himself building new structures and facilities.
This Only Happens Once
The process took time, but the men knew they were about to make a crazy discovery. After all, how many times do you get to uncover an old bomb shelter in your backyard?! This was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It bacame the story of the day and the entier neighbouthood was glud to the new news.
They had to make sure the entrance was safe so they could explore thoroughly without any problem. Having one unsolved discovery underneath them was its own challenge, so the last thing they needed was to create another mystery with the disappearance of men in Irwin's backyard.
