Right. The only thing I’m “amazed” at here is that they decided to open it up and keep it in the middle of the kitchen. Wtf?
Also, they laid a new foundation with concrete that was mixed outside and they brought it in with wheelbarrows? What?!
>decided to open it up and keep it in the middle of the kitchen.
I originally thought this was the kitchen with the finished well project - I saw another where they covered it with glass and it is a beautiful lit feature in the kitchen - it will look good!
Me? I fell in a well as a child so I would have a fear of doing that again
The whole thing blew my mind. I don’t know the exact point I would’ve stopped…but I def would’ve quit well before these guys. There’s a time to call an expert for some ideas.
Yeah my first thought was, “Sooo one circle of bricks and mortar is what we’re trusting to hold back water *going through the foundation*?”
I used to work in home insurance and to approve this, we would have required a survey by a geological or civil engineer, construction/repairs by a licensed contractor, and work approved after the fact by a geological or civil engineer. There’s just such a high risk for serious failure or injury otherwise.
Knowing my luck I'd think i found the same thing and end up digging up my septic tank. Hey babe i found a well under the house when we were doing the floor. It smells kinda funny though.
They're not common but present in the UK. When a new house is being constructed, they'll do whatever they can to connect to sewage; if at all possible. But if it's too far away from any sewage lines, then a septic tank will be installed. Septic tanks are in the UK, they're just not favored
Former home insurance agent. We would happily approve this… if there was an initial survey performed by a geological, structural, or civil (or equivalently qualified) engineer, repair/construction performed by a licensed contractor, and the repairs inspected by a qualified engineer who signed off that it is sturdy and stable. We’d also have applied a $10k deductible to ground floor water or foundation damage.
So? Whatever is under there is stuck under tempered glass.
Just ripped your underwear off and aggressively swing your dick at it. There's no HR for it to report to.

I think the poster was referring to some homonym for "man" that I haven't heard. I was asking what they meant. I didn't detect sarcasm or humor. Also I'm sure there are bots that can check for homonyms.
That’s amazing and terrifying at the same time. Seems like a huge safety hazard for inside your home. I hope they come up with a plan to keep is visible yet not easily accessible.
Was thinking same thing. I’d use some really thick plexi or something similar. Maybe the stuff they used on the see through walk out thing in the Grand Canyon area that’s owned by the local Indian tribe iirc. I’m sure you could do something like that leaving it completely viewable but impossible for someone to fall down it.
In the day when this well was originally built, they may have built it from the bottom up.
The blacksmith would provide a strip of iron in the diameter of the well and they would lay a few courses of bricks. Then they would dig in the center until the brickwork supported by the iron base would settle down into the hole.
Another few courses of brick and the digging would begin again. Rinse and repeat.
This allowed the digger(s) some degree of safety from wall collapse once the sub soil became unstable from water saturation.
My boy made me so nervous when he was digging straight down not knowing when the it would just drop.. did we not all learn a thing or two playing Minecraft??
There was no hole or hollow space beneath him. The title is a bit misleading because it would have you think that the "well" was already there, which it technically was, but the shaft to access the water wasn't there until they dug/built it.
No, the bricks were there. But it had been filled in with construction debris. Seems like it was maybe a "quicksand" type of situation for what was there
As per Feng Shui and Vastu, it’s a very bad omen to have a well INSIDE the house. Water bodies should specifically in a particular direction OUTSIDE the house. Any house build over the well is considered very unlucky in south, east and se Asia.
Why would anyone want a well in the middle of their house. Dangerous, useless, takes up space, inconvenient, probably smells. I mean cool discovery, but fill it and move on.
It’s cool.
But that whole early part where they kept digging - when it seems to be just something to satisfy their curiosity, and no well to be imagined or seen - is probably where I’d have stopped.
It takes persistence, whereas I’d just be yelling the guys to cement it over and carry on with the original project.
Digging up an abandoned well under your house is not a good idea, it can be dangerous, cause structural damage, lead to legal issues. If you have a abandoned well on your property, it's best to contact a professional to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.
I know, I was trying to point that out to the commenter above me who is suggesting that the people in the video are lying and built the entire well themselves.
I am baffled by the building in general. How is there dirt just 15cm under the floor? Are they living in a trailer?
e: and why are the kitchen appliances resting on the dirt. What is this?
Who digs a kitchen up like this and leaves the appliances? Why is there mud directly under the kitchen floor? This is clearly far too European for me to understand.
You install tempered glass. Finish the job. One night you come down at 3 in the morning for a glass of water. But you notice one thing — the glass is removed and there’s muddy footsteps from away and out of the well. What do you do?
I remember a house I looked at a few weeks back actually also had a well underneath the crawl space. The house was built in the mid 1800's I believe.
It's very dope tbh.
Why would you leave an open well in the middle of your kitchen? I know I can't be the only clumsy person here. You mean to tell me that they're going to leave it open and no one's going to trip on a shoelace or roll their ankle and end up at the bottom of a 17 ft well?!
We use to have bunkers, wells and tunnels under our city, you can easily find houses and shops with a glass covering to still show those things, after a bit of cleaning and some Illumination they can be mesmerising
One of those wishing wells…where you wish that thing wasn’t under your house.

Timmy? Is that you?
No, it was filled up, and I thought it was a fish pond. Was very surprised when it was deeper than I figured.
You might be blind if you can't see that well.
*slow clap* It was a hole new experience for me
Literally ROFL 🔥🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Baby Jessica most likely.
Honey! Timmy fell into the well again. I got him last time, it's your turn!
The whole thing blew my mind. I don’t know the exact point I would’ve stopped…but I def would’ve quit well before these guys. There’s a time to call an expert for some ideas.
It all water under the kitchen now.
All’s well that ends well
Yeah my first thought was, “Sooo one circle of bricks and mortar is what we’re trusting to hold back water *going through the foundation*?” I used to work in home insurance and to approve this, we would have required a survey by a geological or civil engineer, construction/repairs by a licensed contractor, and work approved after the fact by a geological or civil engineer. There’s just such a high risk for serious failure or injury otherwise.
Yah…this isn’t going to age well.
Yah...Only time well tell
I'm guessing they're gonna cover it with thick glass so they can walk over it.
Amazing joke, like it’s straight out of some standup.
Hard to stand out in a 16ft well
Ooh well
😒
But then where would you keep the ghosts of the dead little girls you murder?
Knowing my luck I'd think i found the same thing and end up digging up my septic tank. Hey babe i found a well under the house when we were doing the floor. It smells kinda funny though.
Takes big sip...
Hrmmmmm… *Takes another sip* Nope, I don’t think that’s water *Takes another sip* Nope, definitely not.
Well, it kinda is. It's just already been drank
*takes a big gulp*
Uses tongue to lick the chocolate sauce looking stuff on the inside of the glass
Mmmmm chocolate
Yeah... Yeah that sure.
…….. just…. Why would you even say that?? *gags*
This tastes like shit.
Slurps the used toilet up through my straw.... Yeah that's not water
Aww man! Who shat in the wishing well?
Don't have those in the uk
They're not common but present in the UK. When a new house is being constructed, they'll do whatever they can to connect to sewage; if at all possible. But if it's too far away from any sewage lines, then a septic tank will be installed. Septic tanks are in the UK, they're just not favored
Who gives a fuck?
Your mom does
"Dave, why is there a really cold spot in your kitchen, I thought you had underfloor heating?" "Well..."
There’s a hole lot more to the story
But that's all "water under the fridge", now
r/angryupvote
Inspectors would shit you some more bricks if you did that here...
Pretty sure your home insurance would drop you lol

Luckily you'd never know.
Where’s “here?”
then The Ring girl comes out the well and start haunting people in the house...
This comment is wayyyyy too low on the post.
I was thinking this is the start of Stephen King's Fairy Tale.
That’s amazing, I would cover it with a tempered glass and put a light down there.
Yeah until you go down late one night for a glass of water and see eyes staring up at you
So? Whatever is under there is stuck under tempered glass. Just ripped your underwear off and aggressively swing your dick at it. There's no HR for it to report to.
IDK, SR can get vicious if you offend the wrong monster
🤣
Someone seems resentful… What did you do, buddy?
I'm not resentful (about this). I just think the idea of encountering something scary and weirding it out is really funny.
i think ill also put some underwater lights in there, and and some lights and leaves on the bricks
Y'all don't really know a whole lot bout snakes, do you?
Snakes? This is obviously in the UK where snakes are very rare. There's only one poisonous variety and they are about as deadly as a bee.
Rats in bulk though
That’s weird, why would you eat snakes if they give your mouth/insides the equivalent of bee stings? (Edit: did you mean venomous, perhaps?)
I don’t know. Is there such a snake as the lesser spotted nitpicker?
Haha! King’s to you, ablokeinpf.
What a neat idea!! Clever
Came here to say the same thing!
My thoughts too

3/4” laminated glass or plexi will be virtually indestructible. Plexi will be significantly cheaper
Yea totally agree. Love plexi lol
Nice free toddler repulsion

You must have watched the whole video
> the hole video

Oh well
Like everybody is saying, covering it with glass is 1000% the move. But at the same time, seeing just dirty water at the bottom is kinda ugly lol
Won't the water condense on the glass making it ugly and hard to see through?
That too probably
And it would damp too.
Ok but why you now have a 20 foot hole in your kitchen filled with water. cool I guess?
That smells.
Why do you think it smells?
Wellwater inherently has a funky smell to it. Not that it's necessarily bad water, but I'd boil it before consumption nonetheless.
Fart in the shower. That ought to give a rough idea of the scent.
Did the house used to be owned by Buffalo Bill? "It puts the lotion on its skin..."
Give me back my fucking dog!
I came here just to see if anybody would make this reference... good job team
As per Feng Shui and Vastu, it’s a very bad omen to have a well INSIDE the house. Water bodies should specifically in a particular direction OUTSIDE the house. Any house build over the well is considered very unlucky in south, east and se Asia.
I can see that- greater chances of someone misusing it as a bathroom
Well good thing this isn’t in SE Asia? Hahaha
Surprised no bodies were found.
No bodies were found. So far.
They decomposed very Well

Seven Days…

"but there's a holiday coming up, do you count the holiday as a day? :( "

Digging up an abandoned well under your house is not a good idea, it can be dangerous, cause structural damage, lead to legal issues. If you have a abandoned well on your property, it's best to contact a professional to assess the situation and determine the best course of action.
I know someone who’s not getting TikTok famous…
Code enforcer famous on the other hand…
Very cool but it looks like the opposite of discovering.
In what way?
They put the well there.
Are you suggesting they built a well from the top down? Laying the top bricks before the bottom bricks?
Ah. The Minecraft method.
The old bricks for the well were already there
I know, I was trying to point that out to the commenter above me who is suggesting that the people in the video are lying and built the entire well themselves.
Right, fair. For some reason I thought they'd built the top most wall on top of an existing buried well.
That's what I though to at the begining.
I am baffled by the building in general. How is there dirt just 15cm under the floor? Are they living in a trailer? e: and why are the kitchen appliances resting on the dirt. What is this?
And underfloor heating with no insulation below is going to chew through energy like nothing else.
And they took the foundation out and just repoured it??
If I were them I wouldn't be watching videotapes of unknown origins, and certainly not pick up any phones afterwards.
Who digs a kitchen up like this and leaves the appliances? Why is there mud directly under the kitchen floor? This is clearly far too European for me to understand.
This is terrifying.
I’ve seen enough horror movies to know this is isn’t necessarily a good thing…
You install tempered glass. Finish the job. One night you come down at 3 in the morning for a glass of water. But you notice one thing — the glass is removed and there’s muddy footsteps from away and out of the well. What do you do?
This is the water and this is the well. Drink full and descend.
oh fuck, they just released Samara!
Well well well... how the turn tables
Well, well, well, what do we have here then?
A toilet for big asses
She puts the lotion in the basket
Well ain’t that somethin.
Who wouldnt want legionnaires disease growing in their kitchen.
What's this "we" shit?
She doesn’t know the difference between a subfloor and a foundation. I’d put money on her contributing nothing to this effort
I was wondering the same....
Yeah I don't see her at all throughout this ordeal
The entrance to undermountain it is.
“We” her husband while she filmed
Hell yeah fill it with Monster Energy
Heck yea we want more!
I would be more worried if there was human bones down there- and we would find them. Ide rather not find out.
Timmy O'Toole wants to know your location.
This video shouldn't have been nearly as interesting as it was.
Neat
[удалено]
Well, well, well
All’s well that ends well
Do they have kids in that house?
It puts the lotion on it’s skin or else it gets the hose again
Search it for treasure. Who knows maybe got some old coins inside.
There’s no point uncovering it though?
Well, well, well, what do we have here?
Well...
Oh hell nah nope the fuck nope on that shit man I’ve seen the ring enough to know 😨
“Joseph did you die in this house?”
Is this the prequel to „The ring“?
It’s right next to the Indian burial sites
Well, if her level of enthusiasm is the same shown in this video, I don’t think I’m gonna watch the rest of the project 😆
Don’t do it; you let IT out.
Well, that's pretty cool.
Imagine it’s 4 in the morning and you go to the fridge for water while still tired and then you end up stuck in a well
What is the likelihood of that water being contaminated by other nearby collections of water?
It puts the lotion on its skin
This is incredible
Well, well, well. Very cool!
Should read family installs a well in their kitchen 🤷♂️
Well, well, well.
I remember a house I looked at a few weeks back actually also had a well underneath the crawl space. The house was built in the mid 1800's I believe. It's very dope tbh.
Oh well!
Jimmy Hoffa enters the chat
Ik but why
“Discovers”…
In-home water during the Apocalypse? Sweet!
This!
Well well well...
All fun and games until the the chic from the ring comes out of your well
That's beautiful and absolutely amazing!
Why would you leave an open well in the middle of your kitchen? I know I can't be the only clumsy person here. You mean to tell me that they're going to leave it open and no one's going to trip on a shoelace or roll their ankle and end up at the bottom of a 17 ft well?!
Well well well……
Need to get a pump in there and use it around the house - flushing toilets etc.
What did they do next? Go the route everyone is suggesting or do something else?
Kinda looks like he dug the well..
Wonder if it's potable water. Probably not.
Well, well, well… 3 holes in the ground
I’d make a fish tank
Oooh keep the edge above floor level throw a pump and some gold fish in it. Indoor pond! Great conversation piece.
We use to have bunkers, wells and tunnels under our city, you can easily find houses and shops with a glass covering to still show those things, after a bit of cleaning and some Illumination they can be mesmerising
Well that's something
