Yeah someone recently posted an article about one being converted into a sub terr home

thanks NR, i was wondering if anyone knew what the implications where of owning one of these and if they come empty(of working bits and pieces) ??

In the article mentioned by NR the guy took the top off and built the house inside the (now) uncovered resevoir and from the pictures of when he was doing the work it looked as though it had no machinery or anything in it just the metal framework (which he took down as it was only there to support the roof) if I remember correctly.

Visions of the badger staring down a manhole cover on a hilltop for hours on end pondering what is down there whilst Ratty and Hammy watch him from the shelter of Toad Hall !!!!
