I BUILT A HEATED TENT OVER MY UNDERGROUND MOVIE THEATER

I am rebuilding a run down mansion on my farm. I have gutted, rebuilt, and redesigned the entire thing and today I am attempting to build a heated tent around the new underground movie theater so I can waterproof it during freezing outside conditions. Welcome to the 100% restoration of my mansion.

One thing you need to keep in mind is when you get old, stairs and spiral staircases will not be your friend. Try and make something that will allow one level living. There are several other things that I could mention but I won't take up the space or the time to go into those things. Thanks for sharing this adventure with us. I have so enjoyed the journey.

[@justmeiniowa]

Cole's bedroom will be on the ground floor in the new addition. This was shown in the plans.

[@JimG31547]

Cole not telling you what to do but if you have never used a spiral stair case I would highly recommend you find access to one and use it a bit. They are hard to use if you have anything in your hands and older you get the harder they are to use.

I was also thinking about how would they get stuff up stairs to put beds and stuff in there rooms or furniture.

[@danielmarek4609]

Over the years watching I'm always impressed with the skill that Cooper has servicing all the equipment. I can imagine having the skills at home rather than having to pay a mechanic to come in every time is a real benefit to the farm. Cooper always does a good job explaining what and how he's doing anything. Also always interested in the home addition and how it's been going. Once the basement walls are waterproofed, I imagine the construction on top of the foundation can begin. Cole one thing to think about is to make an allowance for an elevator from the basement to the 2nd story. Not that it'll be unused/saved for the future place but what would be a closet where the floor can be removed and expose a shaft for an elevator. A friend built that into his design, and he did eventually end up putting an elevator in due to a family requirement. If you never use or need it then its at least allowed for as a future possible need.

[@argo12]

The house is going to be amazing. I love how far ahead you're looking, to your children being married and having families and coming back to the homestead to hang out with Grandma Hneiva and Grandpa Cole.

[@suzannepolder3929]

Cole, please consider including a space/shaft for a future elevator. That is important when you are thinking about having older family in your home or a child with a disability who would need an elevator. It’s easier to plan it in the design now and use that the needed shaft for storage on each level. Elevator can be installed in the future.

[@robdeaton9910]

Cole I figured that you would have an area for an elevator for the future. Just thinking ahead about the possibility of someone who may be handicapped come to visit. With that many floors and spiral staircases would be disheartening to get to places in the. $7000 mansion. Just My humble opinion, besides having at least one bathroom handicapped accessible. Just thinking forward for you Cole.😊

[@gamingit1]

nope! He would then need to make a concrete shaft that goes almost thru the roof and he would need to have a machine room for that elevator either in the basement or in the attic. By his layout that is not possible and he would need to reorganise his whole house just to fit an elevator

[@robdeaton9910]

@gamingit1 I'm sorry but you are wrong, one does not a concrete shaft to have a lift system. Modern hydraulic systems with a steel frame can handle the load. He isn't building a hotel, there are lots of options available for lift systems to fill his needs.

[@gamingit1]

@robdeaton9910 nope, that has 3 floors+ basement and steel frame can't take force of those floors plus the basement. I've saw elevators colapse just beacuse engineers thinking like you "we ain't buildin' hotel for concrete shaft" and then regreting it after having to rebuild the whole elevator just beacuse it was "cheaper" (it was not*). Plus he would need to have a seperate hydraulic machine room in basement and hydroelevators are known to be bending steel frames which it would not work. He would either have to have one more floor for elevator machine room, concrete shaft and/or construct his house to hide that floor. Do you need mor reasons?

[@NVMDSTEvil]

​@gamingit1smoke much fancy grass? This isnt a hotel.

[@gamingit1]

@@NVMDSTEvil first, go learn how physics work and then come back. Second, it has to be a concrete shaft beacuse of force that is applied to shaft walls. Steel would not be able to withstand all that force. Third, that elevator has 3 floors+ basement, so no residential elevator would work beacuse they don't make them for 4 floor setup (2 floor max) then he would need to install normal elevator which is not safe nor practical

[@wethenorth6437]

Hi Cole, I agree with some of the comments below where an elevator would be a good design choice for the future. I'm only 59 but I haven't been upstairs in my house since 2020 due to health reasons. I'd like to think I'm still relatively young but things change fast and I could never have anticipated my current health issues. Had I known or had foresight when I bought in 2018 I would certainly have bought a bungalow but I wasn't planning for any issues and now I have a whole upstairs that I can't use. Something to consider because you never know what the future holds. Love you guys and always look forward to your videos.

[@elisebb3765]

I don't understand anything that Cooper explains, but I am amazed at how much he knows about mechanics even since he was in high school when Cole first started his KZbin channel!!! Cole, I'm so glad that you are feeling better and proud of you for thinking of others. So many people hurry right back to work or school before they are completely over an illness spreading it to others. 😨 I like Roman's optimistic attitude! Cole, all of your "secret" stairways remind me of the houses that they used for the "underground railroad!" LOL! But honestly, your thinking ahead for family and friends shows that you are such a thoughtful person!

[@davidgekler]

My Aunt and Uncle had an old victorian house. It had two Secret Spiral staircases from basement to attic - four floors, like you! They were actually for the "help". None had real doorways , always a hinged panel in a bedroom or even hallway would get you in/out. Very cool.

Cooper for future reference when you split that cat. If you switch the hoses on one of your steering cylinders reversing the flow in the one cylinder.

[@thenotoriousyumz]

Hi Cole, great design. You have an absolutely enormous house on the way. May I make some suggestions. Add a waiting room and direct access to the office when you build the garage, or make the gym/office hallway a waiting room and have access to office directly from garage entry. Visitors for business should not access family sections of the house needlessly. Second floor access of the spiral staircase can be solved by widening the side hallway (2 feet off of big room making slight L) and line with bookcases and have secret bookcase doorway. That way you can go from office balcony to book lined hallway to secret spiral stairs. Lastly, the attic area should have no internal walls, only dividers that hide murphy beds. That, and maybe a small bathroom will allow for a slumber party/celebration guest crash pad/large family stay overs as families grow... while also allowing for a large open area for other celebrations and activities. I envision a "convertible bunkhouse attic rumpus room" big enough for games of tag or ability to sleep 16.

Two things, 1st. Plan for in floor receptacles in the theater under the chairs for power recliners or just to plug phones/devices into them. 2, the worlds largest hallway should be your gym. With it in the basement and under your office and mudroom the noise transfer of weights/machines would be minimal. You can then utilize the space on the main floor for more useful floor space. Bonus, spiral staircases are bad (where I live building codes doesn’t allow them to be added due to safety issues). As others have stated look into a residential elevator for the one staircase by your bedroom (or at least plan for the elevator for future).

[@gamingit1]

Nope, elevator is not a possible optio beacuse he would need to have one more floor for machine room or make part of his basement as one machine room for elevator. Beacuse of height he would need to make a concrete elevator shaft and shaft would need to go thru the roof to the machine room floor

[@SWOInstall]

And at that point I assumed of course the upper floors would connect to the house, but I didn't expect a whole other addition to those upper floors outside of the footprint of this new basement.

I’ve been watching you for many years and enjoy your adventures and family dynamics. I have to say though that your home plans are amazing and I enjoy watching the evolution of it all, however I think you must take some real time going up and down spiril stair cases to understand the dynamic off using them. You seem quite romanticizes by having them, but they really aren’t practical for daily use and are quite dangerous when you have anything in your arms or hands when navigating their use. They seem like such a fun and beautiful item to have, but for as many as you have in the home I think you are going to regret having so many in critical places for coming and going. Think about how much you will be going up and down from the locations you have them and possibly a standard staircase in a few of those places you would actually be more practical. Some food for thought. Good luck.

ROMAN, CLEAR PACKING TAPE, BOX TAPE. WORKS GREAT FOR FIXING HOLES IN PLASTIC SHEETING. JUST WIPE DUST OFF PLASTIC, STAYS STUCK PRETTY GOOD. USE A TAPE GUN, QUICK AND EASY.

Spiral stair cases are a good second option to access lesser used areas of a home, however they’re not practical. Very hard to climb and not for regular use like normal stairs.

Your crew did a good job. Get well soon

[@pinanolady]

Love the priority of family! Great plans!

[@david_golfs]

best video yet. i have been DYING for you to show some full plans! looks awesome, thank you cole!

[@ArtzyJ9]

Do a little furniture shopping now with a measuring tape - most of the stairs and doorway openings will make furniture near impossible to get in some of your rooms - I get the library spiral stair but the the rest should be regular 36” stairs and I would do 36” wide doors as well, they look grander and allow for wheelchair access if ever required - the distant future will require accommodations for a family member as you never know how anyone ages. I think a 1st floor in- law suite for any long term guests would be very useful. You could also rent it out for a farm hand or nanny.

[@warrenmichael918]

The spiral stairs ARE NOT the only stairs he has. He has regular stairs in the house. He is NOT using spiral stairs only!

[@Scheffy93]

How are you going to get furniture and stuff up spiral staircases?

[@richardradawetz8788]

No thought process

[@ILGuy2012]

He has two other standard staircases in the existing house that will be used to move furniture between floors. The spiral staircases are more convenient access between floors without taking up as much space as standard staircases.

@@ILGuy2012 So ever notice how so many don't pay attention to the videos? He's explained the stairs several times,lol.

[@Scheffy93]

@@norm-nas the attics don't connect smart guy.

[@ILGuy2012]

@@norm-nas Yes. Maybe their mind wanders when they watch, so they miss key details like that? Or, maybe they have short memories?

First time I didn't have to turn down the sound at the start of the video. Please do not take this the wrong way Cole, but please keep it up with the mellow intro! (and I hope for a fast recovery on the food poisoning)

Food poisoning? Remember to promptly and properly refrigerate your food. Watch expiration dates. Cook food thoroughly to proper heat temp. Use a meat thermometer. That said, a lot of viruses are going around, probably caught something.

[@DianaStuckert]

And wash your hands thoroughly before you touch your face, before handling food, after using the restroom, after changing diapers. Also keep those babies hands clean 😊

[@80srockerable]

Could be norovirus.

[@mrsdig57]

Your house is going to be beautiful and if you and Nave love it that's all that matters. Love to you all! ❤

[@Nonya-k6i]

Put a multi level continuous shaft in somewhere for an elevator. You can always install it later...

[@newlyenlightened8775]

Where do the children sleep? Maybe I missed it. Ever thought of at least one elevator instead of all of the spiral staircases, especially for the older people? The spirals are cool, but mess with your equilibrium at any age. Your ambition and love for family is absolutely what more people need in their lives today. This is going to be awesome!

[@JOHANNA-qd6iz]

Spiral Staircase if you have never used them then I surgest you do, they look great but on daily use they are a nightmare.

[@JudyJohnson-l7z]

Your house is going to be a kids dream. Hide and seek. Cops and robbers. If I were a kid in that house..... I would me in heaven.

[@johntilson2535]

Jeez, the original home will look like the 'addition'. The new design DWARFS IT!

[@ladywendy0]

If I had one bit of advice for you on your absolutely BEAUTIFUL home design, I would put in an elevator that accesses all 3 levels. one day you will be old and if you only have all those staircases it may be problematic to add it later. If one of you ends up wheelchair-bound or you need to move a big item an elevator would come in handy. I am so excited watching all this come together for you, Nave, and the boys.

[@benhur520]

What's your favorite part of the design, the half mile walk between the garage and the kitchen?
