He works so cleanly and professionally, considering that I am also currently building a family house (in Europe, we mainly build the whole house with concrete and bricks)
So impressed Why didn’t you make a ramp to walk down. Especially when you get older it would have made it so much easier You still can change it You put a drain at the very bottom for rain Your project is sweet 💯
Are you planning to have an organized playlist? This project starts at day 34-36 then 42-44, 45-47, 48-50, 51, 52-53, then jumps again to 56, jump to 60, jump to 65. YOU might understand what all is and has been done but we dont.
Good observation, Yes, I actually did have all the full set of videos posted but once the RUclips channel became monetized it received Copyright violations on the music that I inserted. I then had to remove the videos, I am having difficulty removing the song in some of the videos. I will get this done probably in the next two months or so. Thanks for watching.
I ran out of time, I was going to insert the vertical rebar for the tie in of the walls but the concrete set up too fast. I ended up drilling the footing and inserting the vertical rebar. Thanks for watching.
Its hard to see but I have two more 3" air passages in the stairwell. Depending on what direction the wind is blowing two are for intake and two are exhaust. I also have one vent down on the floor that doubles as a floor drain. I was able to do this because of the Cellar being built on the edge of the hill. Thanks for watching.
6 mil thick plastic that I am using as a vapor barrier. Many people say I should not have used this in a root cellar. I put it in because I did not want 99% humidity with water dripping off the ceiling constantly. The cellar is holding around 70% to 80% humidity and naturally 99% when it is raining outside. I have a cardboard box that I keep in the cellar as a test. The cardboard box is still dry and free of mold. Thanks for watching.
Short of a direct hit it will be a fallout shelter. A place to survive for typically 3 days until all of the radioactive fallout lands on the ground. But do I really want to survive after a nulcular bomb? Thanks for watching.
That's not the point of this build, and if your base metric is direct/near impact of an ICBM survival then there's not a diy build on RUclips that'll meet your baseline.
@Nova-m8d yes, that's what I said. That's not the point of this build. You're baseline is if it'll survive a direct or near icbm impact evidently, and you're not going to find any build on RUclips that can survive that. This build is, currently and most likely, for short term survival of natural disaster given the relatively shallow depth and no evident air filtration. As the originator said, given some basic air filtration this type of shelter could be used for surviving until the majority of fallout has settled and decayed to more stable isotopes, a few days.
@Nova-m8d why build any house if it can't survive an icbm strike? Your question is totally out of a logical frame of reference. Unless you're living in a city center or major metropolitan area, there's no need for a hardened bunker dozens of feet underground (which would only survive general proximity to a strike anyways), your biggest concern is being shielded from the fallout radiation traveling on ejected material from said strikes or similar disaster. Concrete with compacted earth overhead, even a relatively small covering, will block most all types of ionizing radiation. That radiation is only going to last (significantly above background) a few days. Again, this type of shelter will survive that (with air filtration, water and food reserves) and most natural disasters of the region he is in.
@Nova-m8d yes, because that was a reactor meltdown. Completely different isotopes used for reactors vs. nuclear weapons. The materials in reactors are formulated to deliver a significant power output for years. A icbm's payload is designed to deliver virtually instantaneous energy output. A reactor is akin to a battery whereas a icmb is akin to a capacitor. Chernobyl, specifically, is a testament to the fissile material having lower output, whereas Hiroshima and Nagasaki were able to be investigated and repopulated within a couple weeks. You can hold weapons grade fissile material for a long time with no problems, be in its unshielded proximity almost indefinitely because it's incredibly stable. Look up the demon core, a real life example of how safe weapons grade material is to handle IF YOU DON'T DO SOMETHING STUPID. The material used in reactors, if left exposed in the same way, will basically microwave anyone before they could ever get close enough to touch it.
My channel became Monitized and the music that was in them NOW shows up as Copyright Issue. I am having to go and edit all 50 videos using the You tube Studio. I am replacing the copyright issue song with a new song that has a valid license that You Tube accepts. I did not see this coming. They will be resolved and Public again soon. Thanks for watching.
This dude is a badass
Thanks for the comment, and thanks for watching.
Wow...there is basically zero spillage on the footing pour...very clean!
Pouring and finishing the concrete took much labor. But I think it turned out well. Thanks for watching.
the fact that this only took 65 days is mad impressive and good job this is insane
Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
WOwwwW that's great 😁🤙🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This Guy takes prepping to the next level.
Thanks for watching.
So impressed
Why didn’t you make a ramp to walk down. Especially when you get older it would have made it so much easier
You still can change it
You put a drain at the very bottom for rain
Your project is sweet 💯
man this would be awesome have all the best tools and materials and do a job like this from start to finish
And lots of LABOR and SWEAT. Thanks for watching.
Excellent! A change for a future build would be to install an elevator shaft to make it easier to bring things in and out.
Good Idea on the elevator shaft. Thanks for watching.
Great decision on narrowing the staircase, that would have wasted so much space
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.
This man is genious , really it a good video that i want cross everytime i open youtube , god bless
Good job Steve
Thanks for watching grace. I am going to be late but will get it to you by next weekend.
badass!
Thanks for watching.
exelent my friend
Many thanks
your build looks like very professional. love it. regards from germany
Thank You for the compliment. And thanks for watching.
24:50 : we do not need a structural to support the ceiling, we use pretentionnned concrete bars..save a lot of time
I like your idea. A big time saver. Thanks for watching.
It's men like this that makes the rest of us men look bad! Great job on the build out
Thanks for the comment and thanks for watching.

I never saw footings look any better! It looks like you poured them yourself, did the cement driver give you enough time to spread out the concrete.?
I ran out of time, I was going to insert the vertical rebar for the tie in of the walls but the concrete set up too fast. I ended up drilling the footing and inserting the vertical rebar. Thanks for watching.
Air intake and outtake right next to each other like that means you're breathing in your own carbon dioxide
Its hard to see but I have two more 3" air passages in the stairwell. Depending on what direction the wind is blowing two are for intake and two are exhaust. I also have one vent down on the floor that doubles as a floor drain. I was able to do this because of the Cellar being built on the edge of the hill. Thanks for watching.
@5:00 What material is the sheet between compacted soil and pour? How thick is it?
6 mil thick plastic that I am using as a vapor barrier. Many people say I should not have used this in a root cellar. I put it in because I did not want 99% humidity with water dripping off the ceiling constantly. The cellar is holding around 70% to 80% humidity and naturally 99% when it is raining outside. I have a cardboard box that I keep in the cellar as a test. The cardboard box is still dry and free of mold. Thanks for watching.
taking those supports out would have terrified me. I would have gone to homedepot to get a day laborer.
That was a bit challenging bumping my head a few times. Thanks for watching.
Why the cut PVC pipe around the rebar??
Never mind saw that it makes it easy to put the vertical rebar in tied to ones in foundation.
The gray PVC is for electrical conduit from the service panel location to the stairwell for lights.
The small pieces of PVC are place holders to keep the conduit in place when the pouring of the concrete splashes and moves about. Thanks for watching.
While that bunker will survive a tornado, it will not survive an ICBM.
Short of a direct hit it will be a fallout shelter. A place to survive for typically 3 days until all of the radioactive fallout lands on the ground. But do I really want to survive after a nulcular bomb? Thanks for watching.

what happened to all your videos???
My channel became Monitized and the music that was in them NOW shows up as Copyright Issue. I am having to go and edit all 50 videos using the You tube Studio.

@@puremichiganliving9952 that sucks and i’m sorry for you, can’t wait to see all the videos back and all your new ones to come
