A British man made a surprising discovery after he found a huge hole under the floor of his kitchen, which is an 18th-century well, which he decided to make part of his home.

The man achieved millions of views on the TikTok platform, after discovering an eighteenth-century water well on the floor of his kitchen, documenting every step of the process in which he excavated and incorporated it into the house, and made it a part of it, according to the New York Post.

And the British man said, in a video clip summarizing the adventure of discovering and diverting the well, – garnering 32.7 million views – “A little over a month ago, we came across something very amazing under the kitchen floor, we did not know that we were walking over a 300-year-old water well every day over the past twenty years.”

The forty-year-old man, whose name was not revealed, said to Insider He’s a “48-year-old retired plumber, he wanted to install underfloor heating, and he was pulling out the original foundations to put them in,” he continued, “While removing some sand, we found a really strange gravel mixture in one place,” he explained in the clip, “After investigation It turned out to be a cavity and filled with water.”

Find the well

The man suspected a leak and kept digging, which only led to more water, then a ring of bricks, at which point he was almost certain he would come across the original water well in the house, and at this point he made the frightening decision to incorporate it into the new kitchen.

To implement his decision, he needed to build the well and fill it with bricks and cement to make it level with the finished floor, and then repeatedly had to drain the well because it was full of water, while the project was still incomplete, but the current plan is to finally fit the well with a transparent cover, which is a sight It will surely impress the guests.

“Obviously, we wouldn’t really want a giant open pit in the middle of the kitchen,” the plumber said in another video, noting that placing the well in the kitchen makes it necessary to walk over it, so we’ll light it and cover it with a pane of special glass.
