There's a little channel of a guy in Appalachia in the US, where he keeps rescuing enormous old steam engines and their boilers to restore and set up on his property for school groups to come by and see them operate. By the time you consider that he has to go rescue the engines from remote mountain locations, restore/rebuild them, then do all of the brickwork to set them up similar to their original operating conditions - it's the only other project I can think of that gives this one a run for its money. The channel is Jonathan W, and he's a very hard working, intelligent, salt-of-the-earth type. Enjoyable content.

I have to say, given the soils where I live, the practice of brick foundations in the UK always gave me jitters… but if that’s the sort of rocky subgrade you’re building on, I can see why it persisted. I could never get away with that, but I’m on deep ancient glacial lakebed clay, so anything short of a deep, poured concrete wall, or a poured concrete grade-beam on 3m pilings is just going to either sink, or be shoved around by frost heaves.

Don't let your foundations naked and unsupported during the underpinning process for too long. Sag is a huge issue with stuff like this. You don't see it now, but the bricks have 100% moved, but also, if you see cracks in the mortar, don't be too afraid either. If they do crack (knock on wood), just hire a crew that does forced injection repairs on brickwork. As is, the foundation spanning the portal is good indeed. That's a solid structure there, it would've been pretty bad if it wasn't like that. Whomever made the house, they knew what they were doing, because you see SO many houses where this isn't done right and segments are either floating or built on "hopes and dreams" as my teacher used to say.

... that we know of. Secretly he already may be a cyborg, with many parts replaced for ... reasons. That also may explain how he pulled off some of his stunts.

[@TAP7a]

Right? The clips of him in the tunnel with the bucket going all out just a couple of feet from him were slightly concerning

[@masondegaulle5731]

I can guarantee he would have had a couple of injuries, but they would have only been very slight due to his plot-armour skin.

[@VWrijder77]

It's all thanks to his Safety Tie

[@samuelfricktaler5843]

Next project should be: "Digging secretly a secret tunnel under the secret tunnel"

[@nasirebrahim1]

a second deeper secret tunnel and a garage under the garage

[@TheAnimeFaction]

Bigger DIY project - Matt Carriker (OffTheRanch) bought and is renovating an entire abandoned resort. Technically might not be "Do It Yourself" since he has a ton of help, but Colin is technically getting help as well. I recommend the videos of them using dynamite to blow up solid rock so they can dig a new road down a steep hill.

[@alw1217]

I'd say him renovating the mansion was bigger than this. Also that Alan guy from Heavy Sparks channel has an entire compound he's hand built and the Ghost Town fella has a huge thing going. Hell, I follow this lady named Jenna that is redoing a huge ass house with her boyfriend, Colin's project really isn't that big if you really think about it.

[@kolterdyx]

​@@alw1217 Idk, Colin's project is also bigger than it seems. It may not be bigger in terms of size and volume, but in work it definitely is. It's one thing to redo something that already exists, and another one to build it from scratch by hand until the workload is just physically impossible for a human to do. He started with a hydraulic chisel, a winch and loading dirt in the trunk of a friend's car lol

[@strokiinyourmom]

Nah. Andrew camarata. That’s the diy project

[@BillyBob38846]

I swear Colin you by far have the biggest home dyi job on KZbin! I have watched your channels from the beginning of you starting your tunnel and have loved it ever since! See you on your next video man and take care of yourself and be careful. 👍

[@bluegizmo1983]

And just think, even once this whole front section is done, you still have the tunnel to dig that will connect to the backyard bunker! 😂

[@TechySpeaking]

Changing the bucket on the digger FROM the digger, that was cool

[@s3b_Leney]

Tom's accuracy an skill with a digger always amazes me

[@sisaktamas]

The most impressive thing must be that Colin is doing all of his crazy stunts and ideas while being a family man.

[@Fyreflier]

For anyone wondering white label tunnel dirt (the original) is sold out red label tunnel dirt (the second run, launched in this video) is sold out and it has been two days since this video premiered and run 3: blue label tunnel dirt is also sold out I think we like tunnel dirt, Colin!

[@JonTheGeek]

*Digging the coolest DIY project in the world* **Ice cream van music starts** Colin and Tom together: STOP EVERYTHING. This proves that men are just big kids. And we love them.

[@conspirasteve]

Alright Colin - when the garage is done and you do the back garden tunnel - the people want an elevator shaft going down. As far as you can go.

[@BLenz-114]

The elevator should be the pantry. Like the whole thing, pickles and all, so when it's in its "up" position you wouldn't even know.

[@Kevakazii]

A second lower level would be epic lol

[@conspirasteve]

@@BLenz-114 I was thinking more when everything else is complete - like how far could he go down? 50 ft? 80 ft? I'm not talking about an elevator shaft from his house to his tunnel. I''m thinking an elevator shaft from his back garden tunnel system down to the water table as far down as he can go.

[@BLenz-114]

@@conspirasteve Ahh. I see.

[@JustOneOfThemThings]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Tom is in that digger, some control that

[@AR-ed3xw]

What if some of the rock chips were glued to a small piece of wood, covered in epoxy to seal. I would think that could be sold worldwide as either art or drink coasters! I don't know for sure, but there would probably be enough buyers to make it profitable!

[@dougaltolan3017]

Rockcicle!

[@kungfuhskull]

That would be really cool! But that would take some time and effort - and I wonder if that would be available

[@jones81381]

Given how popular this project is I think it's safe to say that a lot of us humans, Colin included, are dwarves at heart. We all yearn to dig big holes and build our homes and sanctuaries underground.

[@akhagee4707]

Diggy Hole!!!!

[@zorod5475]

That tin can only contain 3 things, buttons, biscuits, cake.

[@GreenJimll]

Or seeds.

[@PrograError]

I thought it can only be pins... and needles... and money...

[@SeanBrittnyShyanna]

my grandma has a piece of the Berlin Wall... it's not anywhere near as big a deal but it is still a piece of history... your secret garage and all will out live us all. you're a legend Colin... and don't you forget it.

[@Psoewish]

What do you mean "not anywhere as big a deal". Owning a piece of that wall is one of the coolest things I've ever heard.

[@Jrakula10]

if its not the biggest DIY project its probably the biggest in the smallest available area. cant wait to see that delorean rise out of the ground

[@gordominioo9145]

Hi Colin, you should offer a small number of exclusive gold tunnel dirt jars, dirt going in the jars as Tom digs it out of the ground live👌I can’t get enough of your crazy videos 👍

[@BorisBIELECKI]

I'd like to pay an hommage and give all my respect to Misses Furze and her high patience!

[@seancoleman8528]

Great as always Colin, I for 1 won't be buying the tunnel dirt but I admire what you do, an eccentric Englishman in his prime bravo

[@ben_1]

13:38 the biggest "do it yourself" project, he says, while watching _someone else_ do the work.

[@CorneliusOswaldFudge]

For some reason I found myself reminiscing The Sensational Alex Harvey Band playing The Tale of The Giant Stone Eater plays in my head whilst watching this one...

[@MikesMeltdown-sj8df]

Colin, For your window, make a frame between the interior wall and the dig wall. Seal it thoroughly. Add a plate on the interior about 4 inches tall. Pour resin no more than 3 inches deep at a time. Once cured, more your plate up and repeat for the next layer until you get to the top. Sand an polish it and you should be good. Doing it in smaller layers also allows you to vac between pours in case you dislodge anything.

[@cobytenpenny5269]

That would be about 9,000 gallons of resin.

[@MikesMeltdown-sj8df]

@cobytenpenny5269 we're talking about a window, not the entire wall.

[@Gyppor]

I'm half way through and already thinking Tom's got a machine that's a bit small for that depth, and Colin just said the middle has to go 2 feet deeper. Good on Tom for fighting with a deep excavation and very hard material. Not to mention limited access to whatever rolls into the existing excavation with the metal floor. Nice one Tom!

[@rhyswilliams9138]

Perfect Thursday. Thanks Colin 👍🏻

[@Tomppa8.2]

You mean Furzeday?

[@Nick-Gotrel]

so what's with the house next door? have you bought it off the neighbours or paid for them to go on a years cruise?

[@schenkov]

Do have to get your neighbors approval to do construction during the day in the uk?

[@Nick-Gotrel]

@@schenkov Colin is using their front garden and drive for the works so one would assume he has asked them nicely ;-)

[@schenkov]

@@Nick-Gotrel When is he using their front garden?

[@Tyler_Charman-Smith]

​@@schenkov He has the aluminium cover thing going over the neighbours garden too, I think they use it for the digger sometimes. It's a pair of semi-detached houses

Double intro?

Haha. Adds to the casual vibe?

Just get to see more Colin!

[@camerongordon2378]

Twice as good

complaining?

It was triple for me because I wasn’t sure I heard the first intro right, went back and then discovered it was actually a double intro
