Amazing! I sometimes forget Mike is not just some crazy guy who does these amazing projects. His skills are a culmination of years of experience with hundreds of hands on projects. There is no one like Mike Patey.

[@funnythatsfunny]

Or his Twin

[@travisweide9071]

Na... he's for sure crazy

[@KrautSpaceMagic]

He's definitely crazy but he's still really good at what he does

[@portnuefflyer]

I've got 40 + years of construction experience, and am a certified crane operator besides being a pilot, involved in many different types of projects, and YOU ARE CORRECT SIR! Mike is the best! A interview of the concrete contractor Mike used would be hilarious. As would a clip with the local county building inspector. For those with no construction experience, there is not much anything more intense on a job site then an unusual pour, with an equally unusual method of bracing, a "blowout", in aviation terms, is like a micro burst down draft. You're screwed, game over, it's to be avoided at all cost! Viewing this remotely, weeks later, my pulse rate still went up.

[@lexteakmialoki5544]

Mike, sitting in a pile of PVC shavings, making a simple part, way better than the original design, all the while building this engineering masterpiece, sums it up for me. You are an amazing individual. Thanks for inspiring me and raising the bar.

[@davidswanson5669]

Yep seeing him sit and hammer out those skimmers helps people like me connect with him. He’s not too big of a hot shot to not get messy doing the menial chores. A true builder.

[@markhottman2652]

Am I the Only one who thought that Mike was just an Aerospace guy? I NEVER KNEW he was a General Contractor as well. 19:00 Concrete is 150 lb/ft^3 the pressure is by elevation. Mike you are the Engineer of Record.

[@LeRoyLincoln]

This is a structure that your local Fire Department would like to do several walk-around with you. Fire Science and Building Science are advancing, and seeing boundaries pushed is an excellent way to keep knowledge moving forward.

[@Discodoug79]

I’m building a big steel frame and glass house in the U.K. Its pretty challenging and sometimes I think I have pushed myself a little too far and should have built a more conventional house. Then I watch Mike and think I haven’t gone crazy enough. What an inspirational dude!

[@ChandraSlyFoxPatey]

That’s exciting for you! I wish you the best with your build.

[@dennisg6963]

This is absolutely awesome!! The amount of thought and engineering Mike puts into every thing he does is remarkable, and inspiring to say the least. Mike, you took the saying "if you want something done right, do it yourself " to a whole new level!! I just appreciate the fact that I can watch the progress and follow along.

[@waynenocton]

And what’s even more amazing, is he not only thinks of it, and designs it, he builds it too!

[@Berend-ov8of]

The tricky part is you have to trust others to do things exactly like you told them to do it. Being intimitly involved is sometimes as close as you can get to doing everything yourself. Remember, Mike is simultaneously building entirely different things.

[@steveegbert7429]

Not only thought, but forethought too, and all the what if's and how about try this that or the other, and what happens if we do this thing. He's always outside the box. Genius right there.

[@Pedro5antos_]

Mike is out of this world! Amazing work

[@mkblack069]

You should go help Muscle before he loses his house and pool down the mountain. He had some contractors that didn’t know what they was doing. And now he had heavy D helping and not knowing what he is doing…

[@wpherigo1]

I hope you’re creating a maintenance manual for your systems so you won’t be the only one who can keep track of what’s going on!

[@flynlr]

probably already leather bound and available digitally in 70 formats etc

[@doughudgens9275]

Mike built pools. That explains the crazy pool design. No one else would even try!

[@RealRickCox]

Anything the Patey's make will be studied 100 years from now with people wondering how the stuff they built is still around.

[@clinty51]

Mr Patey, you are next level. While most of the world is taking shortcuts and cheap crummy products flood our markets, you are building your family a home that will likely survive the next ice age. I don't know how you do it. But do it, back to work!

[@Dee-cannon]

Wow, doesn't Matter what the project is, airplanes, re-bar and concrete, Mike and his passion is where it's at.

[@x.nwx.x1620]

Best series on KZbin right now!

[@MikePatey]

thanks for following along!

[@FredWhosDead]

Mike, you are just on another level than the rest of us. Amazing job. Keep on trailblazing brother.

[@theresacaron4238]

Nice glimpse of Draco X at start of video, finally!

[@PetesGuide]

I came here looking to see if anyone else noticed that at 0:03 ! You can tell it’s not an old clip of the first Draco because it’s white!!!!🎉🎉🎉

[@TheCebulon]

Now, we finally know what „building an aircraft, while building the house“ meat and is. Awesome projects, do even better. Love from Dar Es Salaam. You are such an inspiration!

[@chriskelvin248]

I am so interested to see the entire concrete structure bare with all of the formwork removed. I know you have a full understanding in your mind of the what's and why's and their interaction with each other...but the brief time we have with these videos isn't enough for me. Please, Mike, deep dive (oops, pun slipped out) of the whole concrete shebang before it's all buried in house!

[@djwilliams4714]

LOVED the Red Bull content, but I was Missing the pool/house updates!!! Back to work!

[@MikePatey]

Glad you enjoy it. thanks for following along!

[@smunro7888]

The explanation about the strength of the round skimmers has peaked my interest as to why then are the pool windows rectangular?

[@doradosurfcharters]

Red bull was awesome but your plane and house projects are so much cooler for some reason 👍💯

[@ChandraSlyFoxPatey]

When you’re working on something for yourself, you get to go as crazy as you want with it 😅

[@mitfreundlichengrussen1234]

What an incredible massive construction - that's why the earth turned 0.3 degrees out of N/S-axis

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

By FAR one of the most interesting builds I’ve ever watched!! I’m so excited to keep watching it all unfold!! Such an engineering masterpiece!! Thank you for sharing all this with us!!

[@damienhammond6449]

The mathematics underpinning this incredible project does my head in. Awesome 😊

[@montealegre_rp]

Yeaaaay! Back to work, no circus stunts ever again that doesn´t advance the entire world!

[@owensparks5013]

Green Wilga in intro? Ooooh...

[@wturn5354]

Guy is an absolute genius!

[@PAsst-ec3lb]

Now you should be able to land a plane on your pool deck 😀 Great project, thanks for sharing!

[@tomcoryell]

Next Red Bull stunt: landing a float plane in Mike and Chandra’s pool!

[@mojo6524]

MIKE PATY is the perfect fusion of genius and mad scientist.

[@dbel7953]

Anyone else catch the Wilga (that isn’t red!) right at the beginning of the video? 😊😊😊😊

[@geeco1333]

I think he owns a white one as well.

[@davids.9707]

Mike Patey you are truly the best ENERGIZER BATTERY on two feet. "Now Back to Work".

[@johneufrazio8349]

MIKE A ONE OF TYPE POOL ! NICELY DONE !

[@thomasnelson2463]

I live in northern Wisconsin, we get the FULL winter experience up here. After over 40 years working in construction, I have come to the conclusion that the only thing worse than working in winter, is NOT working in winter!

[@ChandraSlyFoxPatey]

😂😂

[@kylelaw7210]

I think we need to bring back MTV cribs just so they can show off Mikes house.

[@Russellsperry]

Mike always goes the extra mile with everything he does, and I love that about him.

[@AnarchyEnsues]

This series is over a year old. You can see his house on Google Earth about this stage from a year ago.. Keep up the good work mike 👍🏻

[@PhilDugre]

Only 310k Subscribers have the chance to have notifications on your upload. You are amazing Mike, thank you for sharing this with us

[@rodneywroten2994]

it is amazing to watch a man that knows what he is doing

[@joelwendland1880]

Man, Mike…this project is absolutely awe inspiring! Your attention to detail just blows my mind! I had no idea of how much history and background you’ve got with all this! I met Mark at Sun N Fun Wednesday, the first day it started…and I gotta be honest..had a little fan boy giddiness going on! I would love to meet you at one of these events.. But sufficed to say, just watching these videos really and truly just blows my mind! I really enjoy them…now…BACK TO WORK!

[@shaunroberts9361]

Your amazing Engineer for sure. Absolutely what a house build for sure.

[@johnfitzpatrick2469]

Hello from Sydney Australia. Thank you for the critical stage inspection and explanation of the concrete forms and reinforcement. I was always reminded to ensure full bar length cross overs at T and corner intersections. Also consistent MPa and slump (delivery dockets). Ingenious idea the pipe skimmer drains: I am wondering about the pool edge finish level and capping the skimmer drains? 🏊🇭🇲

[@davidmendonca5992]

So glad you experienced so much that your vision has increased to the possibilities to almost the impossible and better yet you bring us along on your journey, thank you.

[@JRs-Garage]

Epic ,epic , concrete work for a house build …….this is why we all watch your channel Mike ! Even in a commercial concrete build you never see forming like this , this house will be safe in an earthquake for sure !

[@TylerR909]

Mike, waking up to a new video from you is literally better than Saturday Morning Cartoons.

[@chriswardrep]

I never thought I'd be so engrossed in the designing of a pool skimmer! Looking forward to watching your videos.

[@OldinMariner]

Beautiful job as always! I designed and build my own home in the 1980"s and then hand built and 45x13 foot pool with 8ft deep and 4ft shallow end. I designed a system to treat the water that seldom needed any bleach treatment by using a Ozone injection system. It could produce over 10 times the output of any other product then built for installing on and inground pool and didnt cost that much to build. I should have started to produce it but other personal problems came up thata kept me from doing that. It was nice to have the clean water with no eye problems.

[@ChandraSlyFoxPatey]

That is nice!! Less chemicals is so much better.

[@jtropfenbaum7931]

Talent for sure. Blessed with successful businesses and unlimited budget !

[@nanookdan]

Sometimes Mike's videos just leave me gobsmacked and this was one of them. You're an inspiration Mike!

[@muttleysmith]

Love watching these eps here in Australia, thanks Mike keep them coming mate.

[@clide427]

Stop waiting so long for the videos please Mike I build pools as well and am dying to see this project completed... love what you do, and it's my favorite channel on KZbin, but none.... worth every free penny to subscribe.... keep up the engineering 👍

[@Don_Johnson521]

Your pools don’t look like this! Let Mike do it right not for views big papi

[@clintharris1898]

Being a wing nut, then you're familiar with the fuselage failures of the first commercial jet - the De Haviland Comet. The failure was attributed to the squarish windows. Future versions had round windows.

[@johnwalters878]

Mike, your skimmers are brilliant. Way better than the junk you buy. One question? Have you thought about a floating Weir door so water level is not so critical for skimming effectiveness?

[@allenpeachy3987]

Mike, it's guys like you that make me wish there would be a 2 thumbs up "like" button. Great work. 👍👍

[@drumswest5035]

I love the way Mike is always thinking outside of the box, thats how you get to great design!

[@8eightfab520]

Every time I watch one of your videos, I have a "that's a really good idea" thought. Early engineering student here. The mountains around your house are beautiful, that's one heck of a view.

[@BeechSportBill]

Breathless every second of this…🎉

[@naimiles]

Underneath your pool makes a great Faraday Cage.

[@davidrobins4025]

Loving the update on the "pool." It will be fun to see the finished product in use. Hoping to see progress with aircraft as well.

[@johnp9581]

I would like to see some of the classified stuff you build, there we would see really amazing fixtures, tools & equipment. Thanks for sharing!

[@sysfx]

Ref sealant for skimmers: Boats are using butyl ( isobutylene-isoprene rubber). It's easy to use, remains soft, acomodates a wide range of expansion/contraction between different materials, easy to remove, and easy to reseal.

[@tomt7258]

After 30 years of inspecting pool construction, pool maintenance, and pool repair, I think your skimmer idea is spot on.

[@goatflieg]

Your concrete contractors and crews deserve an international lifetime award for their workmanship on this incredibly complex project.

[@portnuefflyer]

Yup, the (mostly, Mike gives them credit), the unsung heros. That crew will talk about this project for years!

[@ChandraSlyFoxPatey]

They’ve been so great.

[@wdg200000]

These videos are literally never long enough. Compile the extra footage, sell them as DVDs, and I'll buy them all and never watch Netflix again :) The same goes for Draco, Scrappy, and the rest!

[@Avrohomperl]

It's wild how competent people are at things. Amazing.

[@redpillpirate111]

Absolutely phenomenal! Just the logistics to coordinate the building and the pour event is a massive undertaking. You have every right to be proud of the finished product as well as the team of subcontractors that you assembled to complete the task. Very impressive 👏

[@steveegbert7429]

Mike, you are an animal! And I mean that in the most respectful way. I don't know why NASA or someone else in that aerospace industry has not stolen you away from us, but I'm glad they haven't.

[@thereefaholic]

Great idea. How will you be dealing with the noise these will make? You will get two types of noise. The suction will make a noise and the turbulence of the bubbles will make the pipes noisy. In the reef tank community they pot ball valves on them and adjust them so they slow down the water and keep the pipe filled. But leaves will clog those regularly so you will need some auto valves that can open and close to clear the lines periodically.

[@RGCobra]

Mike... the more you Do the better you get.. I have to say.. life doesn't get you down .. Life seems to get you Up ..and into exciting and rare projects ..Keep up the massively awesome work .. your customer's know they are getting the best ..when they get you to do a build for them.. your knowledge to the finer points of building is Brilliant 👍👍👍👍👍

[@edwardstephens247]

Can't wait to see the finished product!

[@getoutwithrockandsherri]

An amazing build; sure do appreciate the updates along the way!

[@tealcheif1949]

Thanks for the new video. Great job Mike!

[@Z-Bart]

Brilliant!

[@DigitalAwareness]

Well done man. Great job!

[@Leland189]

Just proves that Mike is the smartest man on earth!😊

[@colinwallace5286]

Mike, I loved your comments about “going the extra mile”. I’m not rich, but I don’t build stuff based on cost alone. My garage sits on 32” footing walls, with the floor poured afterwards, and keyed in around the perimeter, with rebar projecting out and tied to the grid in the floor. I guess it was overkill, but it didn’t cost much more, and after almost thirty years in Northern Alberta, there is a single hairline crack running from the corner to the sump out in the centre. Someone said to just pour a 4” pad with mesh in it. That would have been a waste of time with two levels and attic storage on top of it. Corner cutting is for commercial guys with no conscience or common sense.

[@ChandraSlyFoxPatey]

It takes just a little more effort to make thing exponentially better and easier on you in the future. You’re now money ahead on your concrete. 🙌

[@mattbolton8230]

One of the most Awesome buildings ever on KZbin

[@inmyopinion6836]

Again, just WOW! Monster Mike

[@mikewillis2934]

Simply amazing!

[@Lapse-a-lot]

I certainly didn't subscribe for videos on house engineering but I'm certainty digging it!

[@TheBrotherKane]

There's done, well done, over done and then Patey done. Mike, you are the man!!

[@Justforfun-ek7et]

Such an incredible build! Thanks for sharing everything!

[@video80634]

What a build! Amazing!

[@davidfitzgeraldva]

As a Master electrician, I am really excited to see how you are controlling your pumps and the platform that moves up and down. Are we going to see PLC controls? Would love to see the controls on a touch screen!!!

[@JoePelusoMedia]

Amazing! Definitely looking forward to seeing the finished product.

[@d33w]

So much progress, getting really good.

[@joerehm5975]

I see Draco X is well underway. I love a good Easter egg!

[@billjamison2877]

Two words Mike...AMAZING, WOW!!!!!!

[@Txdvsz]

Mike, Amazing engineering based on years of experience. It would be a great learning experience for young engineers to see a video of the failures you have encountered throughout your career and the processes used to overcome them. I've worked with some great aero and mechanical engineers in my life and learned so much by watching them overcome design issues along the way.

[@jimiemick]

I am glad i waited till i had 30min where i could sit down and watch this with out interuptions. Great video mike, its all starting to come together!!

[@bobdiederich7087]

Amazing engineering by an amazing individual, thank you for who you are.

[@radlyfe]

I wrote my (Mechanics of solids I) final exam this morning and now hearing about thermal expansion right of the bat what a coincidence. I love your videos and every semester that I progress through my engineering degree I can appreciate your videos even more from a technical viewpoint (the little comedic additions are always gold!!) although I’ve got a lot to learn. The grind never stops also loved the Dubai project carbon cub that you helped make happen! Anyways back to work 👊🏻

[@ChandraSlyFoxPatey]

Thank you for your comment. All our best wishes for success to you!! 😊

[@patrickheavirland3599]

Good morning from Minnesota!! Outstanding! Keep it up!!

[@robertjones9723]

LOVE this content!!!

[@richglaser4566]

All that engineering is just amazing. What a amazing view

[@kevine300]

You are an inspiration Mike, there is nothing you can not think up and do, keep doing what you are doing and keep sharing. love watching the house build and the planes too of course
