Final Touches on My 24 Foot Deep Scuba Pool | House Build #19

I'm so close to filling my pool full of water! I've got just a few more final touches to do and then it'll be full before long.

There are bridges in the world that cross large bodies of water that have less engineering prowess that have gone into them than this residential swimming pool. Incredible!

[@fredbugden6935]

And less concrete.

Finding out the pool floor moves dropped my jaw. This is insane

[@Isaacmantx]

At the beginning of this series, I was SOO disappointed by the temporary move away from building aircraft..... But I was TOTALLY wrong, this build has been AWESOME!

[@CherokeesJeepLife]

I bet this pool system is probably the world's most expensive, over engineered, and complex pool in the world. Excluding pools made out of precious metals and gemstones for bling. Amazing pool. Congratulations sir, for the vision, drive, and ability to design and execute a engineering masterpiece. 👏 👏 👏 👏

Mr. Patey, beyond any shadow of a doubt you possess the GREATEST MIND of ALL TIME when it comes to physics, all disciplines of math, engineering, construction, mechanics, design, and pretty much anything else that, as a random thought, rifles through your mind!!! I am completely in awe of all of the projects that you highlight in your videos. I am simply unable to get enough of your videos! Anytime I find myself with free time on my hands, I jump to your channel and start binging to my heart's delight! Thank you for allowing us to enjoy all of your awesome creations!!!

[@user-lx1jx7tg2v]

I watched this guy build planes and new he was extremely good at it, but this engineering on his swimming pool is incredible, his brain never shuts off I’m sure

[@dedwin8930]

You have mega money, but at least youre having fun with it!!!👍🏼🇺🇸

I just like looking at the orange lines that mark the areas he's talking about. It's fascinating how it's the first time I've encountered this technique in YT videos of builders that explain stuff but this is genius and is so helpful for the viewer. I watch so many similar videos that should use that effect. Bravo to the editor Also, cool house ;)

[@StevenCampbell1955]

Another exceptional video. It occurs to me that as the videos come to and end, I am left wishing that it was longer, the explanations deeper and that I too was a part of the project.

[@carstenmeyer3956]

Ich mag es, wie die Dinge erklärt und wie er Probleme gelöst hat. Die Längenausdehnung der Leiter 🪜 in der Befestigung zu beachten ist brilliant, und so einfach in eine Richtung zu lenken, durch einen senkrechten Passbolzen. Ein wahrer Ingenieur! 👍😀

[@brianwillmore4493]

I would watch every second of a 2 hour in-depth tour of this highly engineered and functional masterpiece. I have loved every video and wish they were longer!

[@SarahKchannel]

I so fun to watch. I built a giant water feature with an ex Nasa engineer, that did everything you are doing right wrong :). Its a pleasure to see somebody that does not cut corners and thinks things through.

[@Sgt_Church]

I haven't seen this comment yet but thank you so much for the mid video highlights about which part of the pool you were talking about. I know doing that was a little more work but it was a very much welcome addition. This is looking really nice.

[@alanbloodworth2653]

Mike will eventually reveal that the moving pool floor is a piston, and a cylinder head is currently being designed. In times of trouble Mike will be able to power the neighborhood with his low rpm high torque pool power station. Good work!

[@K1W1fly]

Of course the Patey kids a competent TIG welders... no surprises there!

[@cosmicninjaSN8]

I wish there were safety rails along the pool edge, great job!

[@relaxingnaturevideos1203]

Yeah amazing, the ladder at the edge, all the cables, just a little oversight can end catastrophic.

[@shibasurfing]

Well they wouldn’t be necessary once the pool is finished. So it would end up being quite a waste of money and they would get in the way during construction. And then more money to remove them when the pool is finished.

[@sixtomidnight1492]

Hats off to knowing a few people in the world have such a diverse knowledge base. Most I know, even the smart ones are very good at one thing and not great at others things. Plus I am pretty sure there is zero sleep involved in most days. So to handle all of this and all the engineering involved shows us all that we can all be better at what we do.

Amazing knowledge shared freely with lots of clear moving pictures. I've worried over Mike's nonchalant attitude toward personal safety during his fabrication & construction videos; I've eased that by concluding since he operates on such a higher level than most of us, he has plenty good karma. I don't want to talk about it because it's working so freaking well.

Build them for the homeless. You're awesome, and I love hearing about the engineering. I often wonder what it is like to have your thoughts together like you do. You don't seem to skip a beat.

I've been remodeling high end residential interiors for 25 years. Nevermind the rest of the house..... this project alone has enough details to make your head spin. I'm shocked that you were able to find the right sub contractors to build your vision. I'm in the process of developing a new career path because its nearly impossible to find like minded craftsman who subscribe to the building sciences. Great work!

[@bladesofglorylawnmaintenan6354]

Out of EVERYTHING I watch on KZbin, this build is absolutely the most interesting thing I’ve seen!! I wish like anything I was 1/4 as smart as @MikePatey !! Holy crap talk about an engineering PRODIGY!!! Mike takes the cake 100%!! I’m seriously blown away by this and can’t wait to see him finish his vision here!! I’m sure this is going to be in ALL the magazines, all the diy/construction/engineering/pool/home and garden videos on the internet.. When you really watch this, and think.. “Ok, a gallon of water weighs 8.33lbs… x however many hundreds/thousands of gallons PLUS the weight of the moving concrete floor” this is almost unfathomable for my brain to comprehend.. Just pure genius.. Stay blessed @MikePatey and Merry Christmas to you and your family brother!!

[@RocketinExile]

You are a genius man....the levels of engineering that you've put into this are staggering.

Don’t forget to put the sharks and aquatic life tile inlays in the tile. I put a manta ray on the bottom and starfish in the shallows. People love them. I wish I would have put a giant shark on the deep end wall.

Very cool pool. The irrigation setup that you had for the valves is genius. You should have a safety railing around the pool. That is a long way down if someone was focused on taking a video and fell down there. All the kings horses and all the kings men couldn't put you back together if you took that fall.

Mike please show us more of the process of project management, design, engineering, and coordination.

This series has been absolutley incredible to watch. I am astonished with your level of attention to detail. One thing that is surprising to me is the tile work in the bottom of the pool seen up close at the 12 min mark of the video when Mike is laying down. No one will see it when the pool is filled up, but when it becomes the dance floor, they will be clearly visible. Small detail I know, but just surprised me with how particular Mike is with every single detail. Not trying to be a controversial commenter, just something small I noticed. Other than that, this is insanely incredible!
