A New Zealand man has built a Hobbit house.
Carl Gifford, a stonemason from Wellington, says he used a 10-tonne digger to make the hole.
He's put rocks either side of the front door and plans to install a chimney and lantern on top.
He told the Evening Post he was embarrassed as he was constructing the home.
He said: "I must admit I was hiding as the cars were driving past. I thought, 'These people think I'm an idiot'."
The house is part of a series of stonework mounds, designs and sculptures dotted around his land.
"I'm just having a bit of fun. Things that were built by those ancient people like caves have always fascinated me."

Hey! No fair starting a new hole while half of us are asleep!
Hm...the title may be aptly fitting for a lot of us over the next coupla months.
A pic for you. This is Maggie.

I ~already~ had enough to do today without having to move.
But somebody pour me a pint (or two) and I'll just mellow out over here in the corner.
Whoa...flashbacks...
