Американец Мартин Лакин из штатa Нью-Йорк разрушил собственный дом изнутри и построил в его стенах аквариум. Весь проект обошелся в 230 тыс. долл.

Как сообщает Metro, на установку аквариума объемом 5 тыс. литров в стенах бывшего жилища потребовалось полгода, весь проект обошелся в 230 тыс. долл.

Строители предупреждали хозяина, что здание может рухнуть, но это не остановило мужчину.

PIC FROM MERCURY PRESS (PICTURED - Martin and Kay with the fish tank in the living room) A fish fanatic told his wife to go on holiday for a week while he installed a new tank ñ only to ëtear the house apartí installing a 5,000-litre aquarium that saw the family kicked out of their home for FIVE MONTHS. Martin Lakinís designs for his 120-fish and live coral reef extravaganza were so extreme that his first architect told him he was ëmadí and their three bedroom detached house would collapse. So the architect was promptly sacked and Martin, 49, brought in a structural engineer to oversee him rip out walls and wedge a 250 cubic feet monster tank into the MIDDLE of his house. Wife Kay, 53, claims her husband ëdefied gravityí installing the £150,000 tank, which saw her living with her mother for months on end as walls, ceilings and floors were removed from the family home. At times she worried she ëmight never get her house back in one pieceí. The tank is so big that Kay and their 15-year-old son James were able to SWIM in it before the wildlife was brought in.

Как пишет издание, в доме 49-летнего Лакина, его жены Кей и сына Джеймса ранее уже был аквариум, однако главе он казался маленьким.

Чтобы увеличить его, он предложил переехать в более просторное жилье, но супруга ответила отказом.

Тогда пара пришла к компромиссу, решив, что переезда не будет, но аквариум будет увеличен.
