A FAMILY spent years building a cave under their back garden and turned it into an enormous playroom for the kids.
The Mylers, known as the “Ninja Fam” online, created a real-life hobbit hole, complete with a pool, endless tunnels and a cinema room.
Shane Myler, his wife, Aly and children, Bryton, Ashton, Paxton, Payton and Kayson all helped to design the extensive underground playroom.
Largely constructed from concrete, they managed to make it look like a real, rocky cave with stalactites and stalagmites hanging down and tunnels that you can get lost in.
On the American family’s YouTube channel, Shane takes viewers on a tour inside their crazy cave complex.
Excitedly, he says: “We have been working on this for years and it is finally ready to show the world.”
“This is one of four entrances,” he explains as he passes through the hobbit door and walks underneath a low ceiling covered in colour-changing fibre-optic lights.
Shane then shows off the cinema room and continues on through a spooky-looking tunnel, called “Stalagmite Alley”.
Bryton then promises there is far more to come at the end of the secret tunnel and tells viewers to “stay tuned”.
Eventually, the tunnels all lead to a larger opening, which features caveman-like drawings carved into the faux rock.
That then leads back to the garden and play area, which is covered in the fake dinosaur fossils and another pool.
It comes as a man spent eight years building a hidden cave in his parent’s garden.
It all started with a familiar story – a teenager fed-up with arguing with his parents and desperately wanting his own space.
However, Andres Canto, aged 14, took his frustrations to new depths by deciding to spend most of his teenager years building his own home underneath the backyard.
Meanwhile, a couple have been dubbed the “Welsh Flintstones” after returning from a Spanish holiday as the proud owners of eight caves – but their transformation is incredible.
Paula and Spence spent £17,000 buying the derelict holes, and after years of work, turned them into their dream rustic home.
Elsewhere, a homeless man carved a cave out of a cliff and now has incredible sea views.
Nissim Kahlon, 77, created a remarkable structure filled with tunnels, mosaics, and winding staircases out of beachside sandstone cliffs in Israel.
