Props for being upfront about the cost of this project and not just ignoring the hours the team put into it.

[@Narinjas]

Yeah, but i am wandering about having proper end caps, having it one piece long from the start, and having the crane from the start, that would reduce costs total... And wandering if Linus would be open to build his own bunker that is built a bit more, like 3x this one, having "secret tunnels" connections between them, and having secret exit shaft's and actually having it armored and shielded from radiation and acid/radioactive rain.

[@GerblerM]

@@GerblerMhis assessment of labor cost was at $25/hr but that’s general labor costs and very low. something as specialized as a welder would command far more than that. I think true cost of labor would be much higher.

I have a similar but smaller bunker, 8'x27' 10,000 gallon tank buried about 1999. I've spent several tornado and hurricane warning nights and days there. Once hit by lightning while inside it was a loud bang but I was safe not touching any metal. I can't wait to see this finished as mine so far is just temporary shelter from storms. My best advice from experience is constantly maintain ventilation and low humidity. Mold ruins wood quickly and rust never sleeps.

[@ClasSickClips]

Omg that's amazing, definitely utilize the under floor space, storage, you can hold a ton of water under there. Just get some type of water containment system, or make some type of system to fit under the floor. You Can also get rain water to run down in the system.

You should take the same concept as you did with your floor system and create a small “ceiling” and use that upper cavity for water storage. You’d get the benefit of being able to gravity feed your sinks in a power outage.

[@just_saw_dust]

And a sprinkler system in case of fire when unoccupied.

[@ekinteko]

This is a GREAT idea, but the execution is very difficult to get it right. You don't want any dead spots where water gets trapped or stagnant. Bacteria will become an issue, and even worse is a mould outbreak. Especially if they seep into the floorboards/ceiling, since Black Mould loves those materials. Thanks Zack for being open and looking at comments and listening to feedback. We're here to help. I think "Jerry" should just keep this simple. This is NOT a bomb shelter or doomsday cabin. This is a pretty chill man-cave, or a spare bedroom for guests, and kids. Staying true to this fact will mean his overall build will be quicker, cheaper, and more practical.

[@Bruke53]

I think he made a mistake permanently affixing the floor structure this early on. Sure you have tons of storage under there, but it isn't going to be much use if it's hard to put large things under there. For one, he's going to need probably several thousand gallons of water storage, both for clean and dirty water (maybe even a third for drinking water). He also needs to find a place for all of the batteries. It would probably be more beneficial to have them outside the living quarters (ie not under the floor) since they will give off a fair bit of heat. Maybe it will work out and it won't make it crazy hot in there... He also needs to figure out what to do with all of the wiring, waste removal, and air circulation. It would have been a lot easier to go ahead and bury all of the conduit prior to full coverage. Those solar panels (or in all actuality mains power from the grid) need to get in there somehow and have a place to mount in the case of the solar panels. Also, waste water is going to be a huge issue for them. Where is it going to go? The will need a lift pump of some sort, and unless they have a septic system, they will need to plumb that into the city sewer, which they probably won't be a huge fan of without significant permitting. They also need to work out ventilation and cooling for in the bunker. Heating is easy. It will always be heated as long as it is in use. People, batteries, and electricity use generate a lot of heat. Having a way to cool it is going to be important. There are some air "powered" geothermal options that may be of some use. However those will require a lot of underground piping which would have been a lot easier to do prior to filling the hole. Also, Where is the exhaust/ventilation system going to be. 2 box fans laying over the hole isn't a a long term solution. I only bring it up because that probably should have been addressed while the pipe was exposed. Probably would have been good to make redundancies for these systems, as in a situation where you need to use the bunker failure of life support isn't an option.

5:06 I never understood this. Atlas bunkers also shows storing water under the floor. You have an excavator on site, a huge hole, put in a water storage tank outside the bunker and save the interior space for provisions. You could also have a pretank that the sump pumps into, then filter that into the main tank.

[@surfingtothestars]

Atlas has that nice Swiss air filter that would have been a nice addition and they also have a way to keep the condensation out along with the over pressure blast valve

[@TheNicog1]

That would require making the hole massively bigger.

[@deemey95]

​@@TheNicog1not really. It would go next to the bunker. And because the tanks would have a smaller height than the bunker, they don't need to sit at the same bottom depth, the sloped sides of the pit give plenty of room for water tanks next to the bunker with plenty of earth above them.

[@Pestsoutwest]

For water storage in a bunker: I propose the installation of a substantial underground tank, seamlessly integrated with the bunker. To ensure a continuous water flow and prevent stagnation, connect the tank to the city's water supply. From there, channel the water to the main house, creating a significant, dedicated water source within the city water system. In case of an emergency, the city water supply to the tank can be shut off, providing a reliable reservoir of clean, fresh water. The daily water use in the house will naturally keep the water circulating, eliminating concerns about stagnation.

[@BobfromHolland]

I was thinking something like this as well. Though the cost of installing such a pipe is actually hilariously expensive (we just had our main pipes replaced). It would be really ‘nice’ system to have. But I think a large underfloor reservoir that you just have pump water in and out of every few months or so is probably a better option, with a stabilizer and secondary filter you can keep water down there for quite a long time

You should have buried earth tubes around the shelter. Then the air intake flows all around the shelter before entering the shelter, raising or lowering the air temp to your in ground 60*. Humid air would condense on the walls and flow downhill into a sump to be filtered and added to your water supply (or pumped outside if contaminated).

Speaking of Ventilation, have you thought about RADON ? Concrete surrounded Steel bunkers still get radon leaching in through the walls.

Idea to heat air on the way in: Use a loooooong coiled tube buried deep in the ground. Not sure how long it would need to be, but the idea is to allow the air enough time to absorb warmth FROM the ground during the winter and release warmth INTO the ground during the summer.

Looks awesome, but I would have used marine ply for the floor instead of OSB which will disintegrate overtime if it gets remotely humid or damp.

Imagine your bunker essentially like a strand of carbon nanotube fiber tow in carbon fiber plate- except you you have the thickness of the Grand Canyon and each “strand” can be modular for either simple strength, power delivery/storage, or just a water reserve. Also, your “dirt” would be graphene, alongside carbon fiber “mesh” like in concrete. You still need foundation footings though for an O Neil Cylinder (if you’ve been paying attention to the cybercriminals watching me)

You're so wholesome, it makes my teeth squeak! But seriously, great job, thanks for the journey and hope you will continue to tell us how it's going!

[@Aayushh07]

Hats off to your planning and execution. Watched all your underground tube make video its quite a journey. You've done a superb job zack bro. You're a perfect engineer 💪

[@699hazard]

I thought you would have put a septic tank/ water tank and battery under the floor. You could have even made a sewage drainage field at the bottom of the hole. It's coming along nicely 👌

[@Drewbo]

You are the only big channel i consistently see interact with their comment section. Love your videos.

[@JeanAnnne]

So much excited to watch your video on finished output of this underground backyard bunker using your untouched redmagic magic 9,hahaha, send it here in Philippines 😁, thank you

[@AriannaChelsea1]

You are doing AWESOME work Jerry! Keep it up!!!! Love the content!

[@jabjab1010]

Perfect amount of letting us see the work, and letting us NOT have to live it for too long. Really well done! Thanks.

[@hauntedcaptainphoenix5363]

You just need a fog collector a Water filter make sure you put in a submarine periscope so you can see outside and a drill so you can get out if your door way get destroyed. Also you need a Plant that can make arrows. And have medicinal plants I would also be growing cranberries for juice and farming up some shrimp and I would like to make jerky from squirrels. And chicken for breakfast.

Can't wait to see this thing in use. When is the apocalypse?

[@SkyGuardianHelmet]

6:23 I'm kinda concerned if that'll destroy the outer waterproof coating as it's welding on the pipe

[@banpridev]

He went to great lengths to prevent that and in this video it looks like he forgot.

[@rucheeification4945]

It will, but i think the sacrificial anode covers its effects??

[@BobfromHolland]

I think the plate he’s welding to was already in place before they lowered the bunker, but not sure cause he only talked about the rails

[@BobfromHolland]

@@rucheeification4945I didn’t think about that, could be, I would’ve just jbwelded that little plate at that point 😂 The whole floor looks pretty overkill to me

[@SammyBR99]

I was looking for this comment. I really believed I couldn't be the only one to notice this

[@jrock718]

I get these videos in my recommended and I think that I'll just scrub through the video to see what's up but I always end up watching it all. Really great content.

[@JerryRigEverything]

Thank you!

[@codymcarthur1932]

Multiple Jerrys was trippy, excellent editing!

[@daniii5438]

Happy New Year, Jerry. Thanks alot for the metric :)

[@Christophtopher]

As a C6 Quad, you have no clue how fun its been to watch a wheelchair accessible bunker come together. Looking forward to the next episode!

[@tassadarforaiur]

Are you sure about the 90" tv? This is a very light controlled environment, and any damage / wear on the TV would not be viable to replace. An ultra short throw led projector, with a spare under the floor, sounds easier to maintain for extended durable use.

[@OneTrueKing23]

The series of these videos will pay the bunker in less than a month. Congratulations on your bunker Jerry, you deserve it!

[@doomlordkaka]

only found you today, this series is excellent! super well thought out.

[@matfeje]

THIS IS WHAT I LOOK FORWARD TO EVERY WEEK!!! THANK YOU!!!

[@rjb]

Very invested in this series. Been very fun to watch. Wondering what the elevator will cost.

[@NocturnalToothbrush]

Awesome, now I have JerryRig and Colin Furze to watch when I want to see amazing underground bunker projects.

[@chaseleim4773]

Water Reservoir with a system to oxygenate it to keep the water clean and fresh,along with u,v lights to keep bacteria etc from forming

[@ExtremelyRandomStuff]

I don’t think an 8 Sleep will work during an apocalypse because there will be no internet😂 Great content and I have been enjoying this series and can’t wait to see the final result.

[@demodifyable]

Even without an apocalypse, subscription to sleep is crazy.

[@juraj_b]

He lost me with the mention of subscription. For such an expensive product, that’s simply unforgivable

[@deliciousfewd]

I really appreciate how transparent you are about your goals. It's not about the bunker. It's about the wheel chairs!

[@rubikfan1]

The area under the floor seem perfect for power lines but also for storage.

[@MaadReapeR]

Those small plates, welded to the tube bottom, that's supporting pillars for the floor - I don't remember you show them before, so they were welded now? What about insulation of those spots outside?
