You know... I've never once stopped to watch an excavator dig a hole from start to finish. It's mesmerizing af.

Wow I can't believe all the negative comments I give you an a for effort at least your moving forward trying to protect your family ld be willing to bet half the trolls couldn't work a hand shovel if their lives depended on it!! Your a smart guy if there are flaws at least you have time to figure out and fix!!

[@Kathy-ec2nd]

Hi Keeping It Dutch - I watched a video of a guy that had 12 people in his during a tornado. It was exactly like yours and it saved their lives. He did say in the video that the tornado was pulling at the door and it was all he could do to hold it shut by pulling on the handle. If it were me, I would have a iron rod stored in there to help hold the door shut. He also said it was really dark as they only had 1 flashlight. I think I would keep stuff stored in there so I wouldn't have to hunt for them when needed. Great video!!

[@sarahw.mcelyea5655]

I would install a stick-on led light switch (like the one Harbor Freight sells. I love those things!), and the battery operated Christmas lights. Also, I have some 5-gallon buckets with padded seats. Great for a few bottles of water, a first-aid kit, and a couple of tools. I would also keep a few tarps, a blanket, and a flannel shirt in there. .. That’s just me. 😊 .. Hope you enjoy it and it serves you well! (And my husband says, “I’d paint Psalm 23 on the wall!”) 🥰

[@snoopu2601]

That's great, to think ahead. I saw on the news this guy in a wheelchair had him a shelter built for him above ground thinking he would never have to use it. That he would just use it for storage. A week after it was done a storm came through and whipped out everything around his storm shelter. He was glade he had it built he was amazed it took him some years to save up to have the storm shelter built and just when it got done it came in handy.

My concern would be a tree or debris blocking that door when I needed to get out. I'd put an old cell phone in there and a good quality whistle like a Fox 50.

[@aturner4078]

We have a similar underground shelter and we get great reception but if a tornado hits odds are towers will be out. We have emergency kit with futon, chairs, portable fans, the works. We have lighting but you never go in without alerting someone. We call several people there and away so if we get hit or shut in they know we are in it.

[@Shane_O.5158]

the lid opens out , you better put a jack and some anchor points and assortment of steel beam in there, so if anything lands on the door.

[@adonian]

This is a really GOOD video, thanks. Glad they make these shelters. When I was 13 I lived in Colorado, and one really bad storm came to town. I was on the roof of my house and there were 4 tornados within view (and damn close too), I swear, 1 from each point on the compass. Scarry as heck.

[@whyask8044]

love the skills of the crew that installed it.

[@carlmassey8837]

Step-daughter bought one.. Very nice looking to start with then the rain came.. Leaking problem due to the Rain.. Sent their warranty man out to inspect the problem made a few adjustments tightening bolts and the a leaking never stopped when it rained! Notified the supplier once again and the supplier said it wasn't their problem anymore! So there they were stuck with a shelter they could not use half full of water!! So my advice would be anyone that sells these things stand behind what they sell because your satisfied customers are the best salesperson you will ever have!! Word of Mouth by satisfied customers!! *"AMEN"* !!!

[@HiddenHeightsFarm]

Great shelter and video! Thanks for sharing..

[@stevefoster5822]

Good job. The only thing i would suggest is segregating the clay and topsoil when excavating. Therefore when backfilling you can keep the topsoil at the finished level.

[@LK-bz9sk]

Good point. I just leaned something. Thanks. Going to be putting a shelter in soon.

[@theresagrosscup1968]

Oh heck no! Glad we don’t get many tornados. I’m major league cloister phobic. Love your channel. I always though there should be a law where all trailer parks and homes with no basements, be required to put in large shelters. It’s sad to see the injuries and deaths because they have no where to go. Especially in tornado alley. They are consumed with making money and not care about the safety of humans and their pets. Would love to know how to get a bill passed to to retrofit older parks and new communities to have a shelter. Saving money is not worth the loss of life. Btw last month in a storm we had 2 tornadoes by our house. Never experienced it before and was scared to death. Sounded like 2 freight trains going down our driveway. I hope this video encourages others to follow suit. 👍❤️

[@SmiTTyy-sh8nc]

[@jivanvasant]

CLAY WARNING Clay will expand and contract with increases and decreases in moisture content, so too much clay in the soil to the depth of the installed bunker could be problematic due to stress heaving. Maybe a foot-deep layer of gravel and then some sand would provide sufficient drainage and stability. Houses with slab-foundations are structurally damaged in Texas and Oklahoma with clay soils, and disaster insurance may not be available in some areas.
