Fish pond
Mr Forestiere ate well. Here is a water pond (now dry) that he kept. Whenever he went fishing and caught fishes, he took them home and put in this underground pond. He could just take the live fishes out of the pond and cooked them in his underground kitchen.

Underground ball room
It's just incredible that Mr Forestiere even digged and built an underground ball room but he didn't finish before he passed away. His brother completed the roof and the floor.

The End - A salute
Witnessing Mr Forestiere's works was truly an eye opening lesson about a man's determination on his goal and his accomplishments to realize that goal. A goal and journey where he single-handedly completed over a course of 40 years, with the simplest hand tools and under the most adverse weather. Mr Forestiere, I salute you.
