IT IS TIME! Building a Bunker part 1

[@TechMasterRus]

Such a shame that the real interesting bunker construction can't be placed on KZbin because you don't want anyone even know it exists.

[@TheDIYScienceGuy]

LOL, no, it's not going to be a secret bunker. It will all be revealed in future videos!

[@nicodesmidt4034]

You’re surely located in the above sealevel part of the Netherlands 😂 as there seems to be no groundwater seeping in. Great idea though to keep the wife happy 😃

Every few months I come back to this channel only to see an even crazier project in the making

[@spamator12]

Nice! I'm doing a renovation my self, it is very time consuming money black hole :) I can't wait till you make an HHO update! Please do it!

[@diabsiniman]

Very nice, good thing you have nice soft Dutch sand to dig in, makes your work so much easier

[@Maxjoker98]

You should dig a tunnel from NL to UK to meet up with Colin Furze. Call it the KZbin Channel tunnel, it's sure to get the french jealous!

[@diyathomevn]

Thanks a lot. I really like this project Very nice, luckily you have soft Dutch sand to dig, your work is great👍👍👍

[@peachyt6296]

Southern USA, we have very dense clay soil that would make heavy equipment most welcome (or, it would be several weeks of hand shoveling!). I didn't know soil could be so soft before watching your video haha Awesome project! My vote is b. shelter!

[@kapytanhook]

Mini Graafmachine huren voor een paar dagen valt best mee and werkt prima. Maar dit is leuker inderdaad.

[@diyathomevn]

Thanks a lot. I really like this project Very good,This video is sensational, thank you for bringing this video to us, 👍👍 👍....

I was worried about you and your project, but have seen your update on the heatpump. :) This video is awsome, but there are a few questions if you could include the answers to your next video it would be splendid: - How did you drill the 3 meter deep and 250mm wide holes (and how did you come up with the dimensions)? Were the auger extensions not flexing? (How did you place the columns?) - What are the dimensions of the shed? - How did you come up with the thickness of the floor stab? You mentioned that in the next video you'll say how you plan to retain the send etc I am looking forward to it. BTW did you do a soil test on your foundation? ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/bWjOgoN_rZKmf7M )

[@TheDIYScienceGuy]

Thanks! No worries, I'm still here! 😉 In this short you can see how I drilled the holes etc. The dimensions of the shed are 5.5x3.5 meter. For the thickness of the floor ther are guidelines which I looked up and I made it 3 cm thikker and added extra reinforcement to make it stiffer. I did no soil test because we don't need deep foundations where I live, because it is all sand. but thanks for the KZbin link, I will definitely check that out!

[@nikdonic]

Nice, I was considering to make a screw conveyor after My first experriences with digging tunnels but I did not get to the point to dig another tunnel yet

[@wxfield]

Wouldn't a DIY Science Guy rewire the stator himself?

[@TheDIYScienceGuy]

LOL, good point, but no. That is beyond my DIY skills and interests.

[@th0master]

Bij ons wouden ze 40.000 euro hebben voor alleen het graven van een gat in de achteruit, voor een zwembad (alleen het gat dus! Geen beton, installatie of tegelwerk!!). Omdat het grond water op ongeveer 20-30cm diepte zit, we hebben veen grond en we hebben een sloot direct achter de tuin. We hebben er dus voor gekozen om het zelf te doen, met de schep, geen graafmachines of wat dan ook. En ik kan je vertellen, na heel veel tijd, moeite en gedoe, is het zwembad bijna af!

[@TheDIYScienceGuy]

Gaaf! Zelf bronbemaling geregeld?

[@th0master]

@@TheDIYScienceGuy yes, of nou ja soort van dan, gewoon met een Gardena dompel pomp was de boel wel ‘droog’ te houden, volgens mij zijn er wel 2 pompen gesneuveld, maar het werkt prima.

[@markgeurts258]

Gaaf! (how) are you going to make it waterproof? Groetjes, Mark

[@TheDIYScienceGuy]

Hi Mark, Thanks! I'm going to seal the concrete from the inside with sealant. And probably insulate the wals to prevent condensation. The ground water is at 4 meters deep, so that is not a problem.

[@markgeurts258]

@@TheDIYScienceGuy Ah super!😄👌

[@spamator12]

@@TheDIYScienceGuy You should paint the walls with "Dysperbit" it's some kind of chemical pitch. Also it would be nice to insulate the bunker thermally. You can use XPS styrofoam for that (does not absorb water). Hope it helps, take care!

[@w3bb0y]

Any update? :)

[@TheDIYScienceGuy]

No, not yet. I'm working on the triple expansion solar steam engine at the moment. But I can really use the space, so I think I will continue digging next year.

[@watzeroorda5601]

Waar blijft je grondwater? Woon je op een heuvelrug?

[@TheDIYScienceGuy]

Het grondwater zit bij ons op 4 meter dus dat is ideal!

[@termitektermit7889]

How it's going?

[@TheDIYScienceGuy]

It has been raining a lot, so I've stopt for a while. Now the weather is becoming better, I will start digging again in a couple of months or so.

[@termitektermit7889]

@@TheDIYScienceGuy yea I know the pain. I needed to use a small pomp to drain the water away (clay).
