Default 125 ton pillbox moved to neighbours!

At Weert, The Netherlands, a pre-WW2 pillbox was moved off the premises to a neighbour one's. One really wanted to get rid of this pillbox, but could not demolish it, because it is a listed historical building. But his neighbour gladly saw it coming and €12000 was spent on moving it to his backyard.

See the clip here: http://www1.nu.tv/video/show/4695

Default New shed at the bottom of the garden?

How would you describe the new addition of a 125 ton bunker to the assessment office?

That's quite impressive. Moving such a pillbox isn't a everyday event. Nice of the folks to take over such a big concrete block.
