Secret Trap Door: How One DIY Genius Constructed Something Incredible

The most incredible homes aren’t just a few bedrooms, a living room and a dining room. They have twists, turns and surprises at every corner, and it takes some time to learn them all. But we’re busy. We have lives, we have kids, we don’t have time to do all those renovations to take the house from meh to wow, right? Well, one guy (reddit usernoatdeckofcards) most certainly made time for it, and he did it in an unusual way.

He already had an awesome space carved out in his home, that came complete with popcorn and M&Ms. He just needed a way to make it more accessible. And he didn’t necessarily want the whole world to know about his little hide-out. Follow the story to find out what he did.

 A Mystery Awaits

Secret doors — they’re not just in castles and old mansions. You might have one in your house right now, and not even know it.

 Starting from Scratch

Ok, we’re kidding. The odds are that you don’t actually have a trap door that leads to buried treasure. But we stumbled upon a seemingly normal guy who took matters into his own hands when it came to his own treasure. Picture a movie theater in your basement, but the only way to get there is from the outside.

 It Is Cold Out There

That means trudging through all kinds of snow to get to the promised land in the winters, or offending the sensibility of your neighbors if you head outside in your boxer shorts during the summer.

 Why Is It So Hard?

Yeah, no one wants to change into their pajamas just to go outside again. After several nights of running as fast as possible from the house to his movie theater door, he decided that the infomercials he’d seen must be right: there has to be a better way!
