Colin, When you do the tunnel to your bunker. You should do a side small bunker. And use it for a kitchen to do your tea and snacks. And with that, you should have an escape hatch there. But not any ordinary one like the others. It should attach to an old well. And use a spiral staircase to go up-and-down from the surface to the bunker. With a door at the bottom. From the surface, it'll look just like an old-fashioned well with a bucket. Just cut the side of the well to access the staircase. Love the videos.

There's a fine line between "dangerous fun" and needless risk. He crossed that line and didn't acknowledge it.

You’ve successfully undermined your buildings foundation. Your foundations elements work on a 1:1 triangular zone of influence beneath the footings. They specifically bear on clay a typically weaker soil type. You should underpin the exposed foundations to the base of the tunnel/garage.

@@Courtesyflush52 handyman is quite the downlplay to the guys fabrication experience. Also the likelihood of sagging onto a concrete superstructure below the house seems minimal, I may be a lowly engineer, and not the right variety, but my inclination would be that if the house sags minimally on a height of soil, it’s also going to sag minimally on a sandwich of concrete, steel, and soil. That being said he’s dumb for not wearing a hard hat. I’m sure he’s consulted with a few structural engineers at some points during this process, it would be more than dumb to just guess your way into a tunnel network of this size and scale without so much as a secondary look.

I am a civil/environmental engineer, the natural ground where he is building is clearly extremely strong, and the tunnel will not hurt the structural integrity as he has built it.

I'm not worried about what he's building and how solid everything will be once he's done. In the long term, things will likely be fine. I'm worried about the digging process. Having a large hole made and leaving it like that for weeks at a time where there's nothing holding the dirt / rocks back during that time, allows the ground to swell into the hole during that time which is very bad for a foundation of a house or garage.

Holy smoke that milk bottle find is amazing! Even in the modern world there are omens to be discovered. It goes without saying, performing anything dangerous, one should be careful. Keeping in mind there’s so many levels to careful, from an engineering point of view. Always take everything into consideration and account for the unknowns. Love your channel 🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼☮️🍀😎

[@IndySidhu88]

Colin, for concern of safety for yourself, your family and your property is why I am saying this after years of watching your channel. I applaud your engineering efforts for making your home a more unique design AND as a Civil and Structural Engineer specialising in ground works / temp works I would be seriously remiss / negligent in asking you to PLEASE wear a safety helmet and or some protective gear like steel cap toes. These are not hard to obtain. By law even visitors to a Construction site are required to wear this basic PPE. I would also caution you never to cut walls direction under a foundation vertically without not considering the 45 degree zone of influence and load distribution. The issue of direct cutting can cause differential settlement which is a serious undermining condition.

[@themilkman7265]

fully agree with you!

“The only freedom which deserves the name is that of pursuing our own good in our own way, so long as we do not attempt to deprive others of theirs, or impede their efforts to obtain it. Each is the proper guardian of his own health, whether bodily, or mental and spiritual. Mankind are greater gainers by suffering each other to live as seems good to themselves, than by compelling each to live as seems good to the rest.” ~ John Stuart Mill “Government exists to protect us from each other. Where government has gone beyond its limits is in deciding to protect us from ourselves.” ~ Ronald Reagan

[@Watchyn_Yarwood]

I would have government defend the life and property of all citizens equally; protect all willing exchange; suppress and penalize all fraud, all misrepresentation, all violence, all predatory practices; invoke a common justice under law; and keep the records incidental to these functions. Even this is a bigger assignment than governments, generally, have proven capable of. Let governments do these things and do them well. Leave all else to men in free and creative effort. ~ Leonard Read Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government which impartially secures to every man whatever is his own. ~ James Madison

[@icelolly4277]

I was wondering about that 45 degree zone of influence myself. I'm sure they should make it 46 degrees.

Honestly, it's because he can enjoy the fruits of it. Most of us, the labor we put into life pays someone else more than it pays us, IE: our basket is almost always shared. Projects you do for yourself are your fruits of labor. More fruit that turns out juicier. Okay I'll stop with the food

I can’t believe the scale of this! Like many I thought the car lift was just going to be in front of the garage where the current hole is.

He ruined his house, FYI. It won't show immediately, but long-term. Because he undermined the edges of the foundation on both his house and garage, those columns will begin to settle and shift horizontally until the house literally falls apart. If he'd simply moved the edge of that room forwards a couple more feet to clear the foundations he'd have been fine, but no, he ruined it.

[@chucksekafetz9764]

Hoping you are thinking about putting tubes around all of the piping and cabling into the house before pouring concrete over them. That way if there was an issue, you would have an easier time pulling those out and replacing them.

[@mrbadger9920]

I'm pretty sure he is aware of the need to protect the services. He's a plumber by trade I think

I’d say rock aggregate around the utilities. Either that, or have the utilities inside the room just at the ceiling height. With penetrations on either end. It would be kind of cool to expose the utilities in the room.

[@davew8799]

Hey Colin, i work with paints. You were looking at rust prevention options. Have you looked into PENETROL ? it is made by an American based company and owned by P.P.G . It absorbs into steel 4 times deeper than any rust converter, surround any rust molecule to stop oxygen getting into the steel and reduces risk of the oxidisation process. It may be worth a look as a treatment for the steel. It can also be used as a primer for epoxy enamel metal paints 24 hrs after application. Hope this helps. Great job, looking forward to seeing it completed. Cheers from the convict settlement down under 👍
