A teenager dug his backyard for 6 years a after a fight with mom

 


Six years ago, an angry teenage boy in Spain decided to dig a hole in the backyard after a fight with his mother. Fourteen years old Andres Canto's mother wanted him to change his clothes before leaving with his friends which he refused. As a punishment she ordered him to stay home. Angry Canto decided to vent his anger by digging a hole. He grabbed his grandfathers pickaxe and started digging which then became an obsession. He used his evenings after school for his newly obsessed excavation project and he even started learning about different methods. The pace of this project drastically changed when his best friend, Andreau also joined with his pneumatic drill and the duo spent 14 hours a week digging almost 10 feet.

They removed the soil initially by using a bucket, but as they go deeper and deeper they developed a pulley system. During an interview he said that during the first three years he wanted to see how deep they could dig, and then they got the idea to turn it into a liveable place. When he starts building rooms, he made the ceilings into arch shapes and used columns to prevent it from collapsing. Currently his newly built home consists of two rooms, a heating system, wifi and a music system. He is planning to further expand his project in the future.

I will first explain why most of us usually wait until the day before deadline to do stuff. It's explained by Parkinson's law which states that " Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion". What it means is, if we are given a week to finish a task we will finish it within the week and if we are given an year to finish the same task we will spend the whole year doing it. Well that's how usually us, lazy humans work. Now that you know what happened there is no time to regret about how we procrastinated on unnecessary things etc. Now it's time to damage control. I will not gurantee you will get 3As by following these. (It's possible depending on
