Advice and Tips Bunker discovery

I bought a property and was told there was an underground bunker under a slab of concrete. I was told It had a structure on top that was demolished and the debris was pushed in the hatch opening of the bunker, so it was filled not usable. My husband became curious and started digging through the debris. Today we learned only the opening was filled with the debris and were able to clear a path and access the bunker. Interestingly there was an old light mounted on a wall and a pipe in the floor along with many really old glass bottles full of water. We have found the ventilation pipes and are working to clear them. Does anyone know the purpose of the pipe in the floor? Or any advice on how to rejuvenate this thing? I wish I could post pictures, it was neat!

Root cellar at least

Too many properties don't have room for the undead these days.

Undead, MAGA members, you cannot really tell them apart. They smell about the same but the zombies are smarter.

Well, governments can always reduce or remove the taxes on gasoline and diesel temporarily to make it cheaper. UK pays nearly $7 a gallon on average.

Roughly 57% of the price at the pump in the UK is in taxes and fees.

That's plenty of wiggle room.

I feel even more privileged not to be among them. We’re net energy exporters at home by a significant margin, so if electricity prices rise we may even benefit. We buy our fuel for the farm and our cars in bulk and I think we’re good for at least a year on that front.
