Teen digs homey backyard cave Following fight with parents

Andres Canto, 20, started digging the underground escape in Alicante six years ago with a pickax, based on Zenger News.

The bunker currently features a living area and bedroom, along with a heating system, Wi-Fi, and a music system, photographs reveal.

Following the spat, 14-year-old Canto started digging in the family garden after college, and eventually enlisted a friend with a pneumatic drill to burst the ten-foot deep cave.

The excavation was done by hand and using a home made pully system, and Canto allegedly reinforced the cave's walls and roof with concrete and columns.

The total price of this project was just $60.

The aspiring actor said the labor of love was an expansion of his love for building huts and treehouses.

"I have always liked to build small huts. I live in the countryside and frequently when I found abandoned wood there, I'd build a nice home," Cantor said.

Cantor's cave sometimes floods, and is often seen by spiders, insects and snails, but the amateur contractor doesn't mind the organization.

"I don't suffer from them, if I have ruined their property, I let them assemble it at a new place from the wall.

A viral social networking article attracted the attention of local officials, who allegedly sent inspectors to make sure that the cave was up to code.

The internet interest eventually captured the attention of his parents, who approve of the underground lair.

"She [Cantor's mother] came and explained that it was smaller than it appeared in videos," Cantor informed the outlet.
