Damp and Dread: 48 hours in a flooded HOUSE UNDERGROUND. Bunker PART 19

[@alex-wild]

Friends! Thank you for your support. Very soon, I will go to the house underground with a friend to finally clean and dry the room. Don't forget to include subtitles! See you soon!

[@lorettawhiteside3153]

Hi Alex, just an idea for you maybe you put varnish on everything inside so hopefully it won't be as bad next time. I'm hoping that won't happen again.😊😊

I am so sorry this happened but I really have faith in your skills and expertise. You will turn this disaster into a Alex Wild triumph. We are looking forward to your renovations. Good luck and take care

[@Lazarus142]

I praise your can-do attitude, Alex. Can't let these things get you down when there's work to be done! Think about preventative measures for next time. Wood varnish, mini trenches to divert water, or even putting some sort of barrier around parts of the house to prevent inflow. You can even build a small trench/pipe under the house to help move water out in the event of future flooding. Lots of ideas! 😊

[@jamilaogrady7042]

Alex my heart gos out to you Nature can be both wonderful and cruel but you dear friend will sort out your house and return it to its beauty

[@rosaliegloege4498]

Unbelievable! My heart aches for you. You worked so hard to make a beautiful underground home. Trust you are able to restore it to its former beauty. I'll be watching.

[@alex-wild]

thank you!

[@talkingaboutbeing385]

Maybe a difficult thing to do, but perhaps you could try draining the surrounding area (digging a trench towards an area that is situated lower) so the water does not accumulate around the dugout?

[@ThePaulv12]

Maybe the river has come up due to annual thaw. It's apparent now that even hundreds of meters or even KMs from the river that it rises and floods the forest annually and it will happen again. Even a water table rise in this friable sandy soil is going to flood the dugout it seems. I couldn't live with this. I'd have to dig another hole, reclaim the wood and start again further up.

[@Exiles800]

@@ThePaulv12 Tough reality but only thing they can do really...I would deconstruct the dugout, find a well-drained spot, and rebuild with the same timbers...

[@natalijalitosh4489]

​@steiner554Well, yes, do a complete drainage😅. Especially considering that most likely this dugout is illegal 😂

[@mademoisellekaya1438]

Do not forget, this year was a Record Height snowfall where he lives.. So, yeah, could it happen again? Yep. Not? Also. I guess that the best is to know the lay of the land over a couple of years spread. But then, still, something always can happen what one does not expect, that is nature for all of us.

Со временем весь налет-мусор обсыпится со столбов и брёвен и будет - зашибись 😊‼️ Не падай духом ‼️ Почаще приходи в это жилище , протапливай. Высохнет. Ты, мужик рукастый , всё сделаешь как надо.

Oh my lord! My heart bleeds for you, so much work put in to see this happen, I'm not even sure how it can be avoided again, bleach that wood heavy to slow the mold down, all the best to you from Canada

Don’t use bleach on mold it creates a deadly toxin. Use white vinegar.

[@debbielewis6479]

Oh, dear!! So sorry for your water troubles, Alex. You just walked in, evaluated the damage, came up with a game plan, rolled up your sleeves, and started working...with a smile on your face! 🙂 I'm sure you will come up with some clever ideas about how to prevent this from happening again in the future (if at all possible). My recollection is that you were running electricity in your underground home in the last video. You might want to try running a dehumidifier to pull the moisture out of the wood. We use one in our basement and it's amazing how well it dries out the humidity. Glad you didn't try to get the house all cleaned up during the 2 days you were there. That's a LOT of work. Please pace yourself and give your body proper rest. Take care and see you on your next video. 👍

[@chucks_88]

So sorry about you house. It was so dang heart breaking.😢 You could see your frustration in your face. But in true fashion you just laughed a little and went right to work cleaning . You are such a hard worker I'm sure you'll have that place looking like new in no time.

While you were building that bunker last year, I noticed the consistency of the soil and it looked like eroded soil from the river. I knew that place had a flooding history. That place will always be flooded in the future. Sad reality.

[@johnwest7993]

You're a strong man Alex Wild. My motorhome looked just like that after a flood. It can cause a lesser man to turn and walk away.

[@thevocalcrone]

Alex I'm glad you retained a sense of humour about that lovely disaster. just a tip, when it comes to cleaning a giant mess - its always easier to scrape the excess off the floor (as you did) and my approach would have been not to add water to the floor initially but shovel the mud out, light the fire as you have done and created the space for air circulation, and pull down all the fittings (curtains and so forth for washing), then start at the top and work your way down, all the walls, chair legs and bench tops and shove it all on teh floor, and then reshovel the stuff out. when the bulk of the mud was off the floor (and the crumbs) then i would have put the water on the floor to do the final wash. its much easier and saves time. Having said that.. rather you than me cleaning that mess.

[@Thundergod001]

Alex. I'm so sorry this happened to your cabin. When you get it cleaned, don't for get to check for mold. I would hate to find out you and you're loved ones got sick. Best of luck brother. You can do this!!
