Episode 23 - Quick update on the digging and concreting progress

[@baxterboy23]

Amazing progress, considering you haven't been doing it that long. 👍👍

[@poppalee]

Still going through your videos. Maybe you do this later, but could you run a garden hose down on concrete days? It would save lugging buckets of water. I know these are old but I interact with them to help the channel.

@@poppalee I really appreciate the interaction and watch time :-) The bunker is actually a long way from the tap and I don't have a hose long enough.

hell ya 🍻cheers thats some good progress

[@That1ufo]

Great progress.

[@dimitar4y]

Only argument I have is that the rebar should've been closer to the center of the shaft, and more concrete to the outside. The metal is first, then the concrete, then the load, as concrete resists the compression and it rests "on top" of the metal, spreading the load.

You're a pretty amazing woman with some great skills! If I actually had some disposable income I'd donate some to you but unfortunately I'm living paycheck to paycheck. I'm enjoying watching your progress & will be excited to see what things will look like once completed! Stay safe!

[@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild]

Thanks for your kind words. Most people assume I'm a bloke which I find amusing LOL. Watching my videos is support enough. I have some grand plans but they're going to take a while to complete.

I was thinking about your concrete mixing last week... pretty much came to the same conclusion. Maybe a bigger mixing tub so you can do one bag at a time..but then it will be harder to put it in place.. Nice progress though. It will be good to see the concrete walls when they're done.

[@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild]

Makita do a 40volt mixing tool which is like an oversized drill which could speed things up but they are a few hundred dollars to buy so won't be buying one any time soon.

[@daledigsdownunder]

You need to turn the setting on your drill to drill it is on hammer drill. It will chew out the screws to quickly. It is annoying the piss out of me lol

[@LexsBudgetBunkerBuild]

Have I been using it wrong all these years? LOL. I will investigate . . . Thanks Dale. Nice to hear from you - I have been checking your channel every day hoping for an update. :-)

Had a HDD failure, it was my fault. Lost all my footage. I put a video out on patreon for all to see and up on rumble. Had to release a proof of life video. Your doing a great job Lex keep it up friend.

[@dimitar4y]
