That's a serious achievement Dave, great work. I think that pour was every bit as complex as the one you did with Colin, nothing worse than being against the clock.
Could tell there was no way you were gonna make it on time with the rebar but excellent work, nothing a few friends and beers can't fix! Thanks for the videos, glad I got introduced to the channel.
Mate... you're a nutter, so much optimism about getting all that rebar in and how long it would take lmao. Good effort though! I love hard work.... Could watch it all day! :D
i think when all is said and done , the entrance to the well should be concealed somehow , so no one can randomly wander into the yard and enter the bunker. Incredible build progress
Very cool I call you space man Dave because you utilise all this unused space...love the railway effect as you go through the tunnels.You should put in an underground rollercoaster ❤
Great video this. Your editing skills have come on leaps and bounds! Well done for getting the footage whilst grafting! It's easy to jib the camera off when you're knackered 😂
Thanks Dave, I am sorry I missed the video when it came out, But I am really pleased to see the concrete poured. As the son of a concreter, it lovely to see the job come together. And I might be getting over/around my claustrophobia. Cheers
Hi! The video turned out really cool! It’s clear that you put your heart into your content. If you ever need help with editing or creating videos, I’d be happy to support you! Keep up the great work!
I have checked every day for 3 weeks because I am always exited to see if you have made a new amazing video thank you for entertaining me and inspiring us all. Thank you.
Looking good, can't wait for the next instalment! I was in Poperinge, Ypres, and Bastogne last week (also the Nürburgring for the OldtimersGP) the history around those places is amazing.
The base in this episode is for the retaining wall only. So in the temporary case the ground is held up by the retaining wall. A separate base will be constructed on top to form the floor. Look at the section on the drawing Dave is holding at 8m 18secs.
This is the foundation for the walls the waterproofing is above this and below the main floor, if you pause it on the plans you should be able to see it
@@Tornado_Davewill there also be a sump pump included in it as otherwise you could see issues especially when the structure ages and it’s alot easier to fit one now
I was going to if I got stuck, just wanted to get the 3cx to do all the digging if possible as I started the channel doing videos in that so thought it would be good for the viewers
My thought is a French drain so that any water can be drawn out by a submersible pump so you have no water problems that’s my thought be having rebar or membrane or shot create its all about reinforcement of the floor and wall wishing you the best mate 👍🍺
Hey Dave, Found you on FB, I’m retired miner, You’ll want off grid Fresh air bro, I’d put off grid everything from Air to Sump for floods, Just Neve know, Enjoy 🥳, Belus Southern Asia
I've done many concrete jobs. They are always painful. Glad you've got the worst of it behind you. Do you have an ad up on marketplace for free fill? Maybe someone has a hole they need filling.
So... random hole in the middle why? Also, I'm surprised there was no inspection of the rebar before pouring. We can't do that here. Gotta put rebar, wait for inspector to tell us we did it right, then schedule for concrete. It's like a 3-4 day wait to do what you did in 1.
Yes you are correct, I sent the pictures across and it was passed off that way, didn’t want to leave it a few days as if the walls caved in with rain I would of had to remove the mesh to dig it back out
I got a bit nervous when that concrete lorry backed up closer to the hole edge lol.
I think it would of delayed my progress a bit 😂
Ohhhh heck yessssssss!!! Now I can take a break and watch TORNADO DAVE !! Excellence!! Thanks for sharing !!
It's a Tunnel Dave Friday!!!
Always a great day when you upload Dave. Thank you for the awesome content. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Glad you enjoy it! Positive comments like this make it worth it for me 😀
@@Tornado_Dave You and Colin are my favorite channels. Always looking forward to the next upload.
I always give thee a thumbs up Dave lad...
Thanks for the support 😀
Amazing you got all that done in one day! Thanks for another Great Video!
It was a hard day 😀
That was some serious graft! Really enjoying your videos. Much appreciated. 👍
Glad you like them!
Wow what a day! Great work!
Thank you! It was a big day to get that lot done 😀
Loving the progrsss Dave, can’t wait to see the next video.
The important thing is you got it done, good job, great job...
You're an inspiration Dave, and very talented, thank you for sharing this project!
So nice of you 😀
I was exhausted after watching this video - that was really cutting it fine but you got it across the line - epic!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I can't wait to see it done and what you have planned 😊
That's a serious achievement Dave, great work. I think that pour was every bit as complex as the one you did with Colin, nothing worse than being against the clock.
It was the temperature that day that was worst, it was so hot in that hole 😂
It's coming along nicely
Could tell there was no way you were gonna make it on time with the rebar but excellent work, nothing a few friends and beers can't fix! Thanks for the videos, glad I got introduced to the channel.
I’ve always been the same, I think everything can be done in 5 minutes then end up working all night 😂
Mate... you're a nutter, so much optimism about getting all that rebar in and how long it would take lmao. Good effort though! I love hard work.... Could watch it all day! :D
That's a big milestone. Well done.
You deserve a holiday. Come on down-under, we've got plenty of holes in the ground for you to play in. Admiration from Australia.
One day I want to come and explore Australia for sure 😀
Good mates you've got there. Top blokes!
Hell yeah!! Awesome progress!!
Thanks!!
Huge progress, Dave. Well done! Hopefully those friends still come around after all this. 😂
Good video. I love seeing this bunker taking shape.. Looking forward to next update. Have a nice weekend,chers from norway
Yes I’m looking forward to getting the walls done 😀
i think when all is said and done , the entrance to the well should be concealed somehow , so no one can randomly wander into the yard and enter the bunker. Incredible build progress
I have loads of ideas that will stop people from entering don’t worry 😂
Well done mate. You've told me alot about it, but actually seeing it is something else. Your doing brilliant 👏
Yes it was a tough day 😀
Well done Dave fantastic job and look forward to the next so,glad you got it all sorted in the end mate.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very cool I call you space man Dave because you utilise all this unused space...love the railway effect as you go through the tunnels.You should put in an underground rollercoaster ❤
Yes that would be good 😀
Some graft there boys, you earned a beer or 3
Yes it was my round that night 😂
Great video this. Your editing skills have come on leaps and bounds! Well done for getting the footage whilst grafting! It's easy to jib the camera off when you're knackered 😂
Yes it was hard to keep the filming going but it’s worth it afterwards
Great work Dave. It's great when you reach each mile stone 👍
Absolutely, the walls are the next Challage 😀
Yeah, pouring concrete is hard work, especially if you're not used to it. Heck of a job bub
Yes I massively underestimated the job as usual 😂
1 day, thats some serious graft, I hope lots of well done beers were had 🍻
Yes plenty of beer after that 😂
Thanks Dave, I am sorry I missed the video when it came out, But I am really pleased to see the concrete poured. As the son of a concreter, it lovely to see the job come together. And I might be getting over/around my claustrophobia. Cheers
Claustrophobia isn’t so bad now we are working on the bunker I feel 😀
Hell yeah finally a new one💯 Why do you not have more subscribers??
Hopefully they will keep coming, YT is a bit behind Facebook is at 150k and TikTok is at 55k, it’s still going up so that’s the main thing 😀
Love it Dave. I Want to come round Dave.
Great work Dave, I've been against the odds with the concrete truck before. We once moved 16m3 by wheelbarrow in a day 🤣😭
Hope you’re enjoying your holiday! Time off is important to reset for the every day life!!!
Absolutely!! I’m back now, ready to get these walls done 😀
Thanks for sharing Dave awesome work as usual , and thank Collin for introducing you to me
Glad you like the content 😀
Remind me halfway through to like instead of at the end as youtube tries to jump to the next vid
Great team effort that Dave
Yes I couldn’t of done it with out the help from friends 😀
Hi I have just subscribed to your channel your the tunnel is amazing and the new bunker will be incredible.
Thanks for subbing
Hi! The video turned out really cool! It’s clear that you put your heart into your content. If you ever need help with editing or creating videos, I’d be happy to support you! Keep up the great work!
I have checked every day for 3 weeks because I am always exited to see if you have made a new amazing video thank you for entertaining me and inspiring us all.
Thank you.
Glad you like them, I aim for upload every 2 weeks but I put the colin video out in between so this is 2 weeks after that. 😀
powerful work, keep her lit
Looking good, can't wait for the next instalment!

Sounds great!

Yes that’s what I was going to say Chris 😀
Didn't realise you'd got planning for a high-rise tower, how many floors?!? Some serious strength in that foundation...
Think it will be bomb proof 😂
@@Tornado_Dave But will it be Tornado proof?
Proper graft day! Love it
Yes it was!
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
A lot of work in a short time, impressive!! 😊👍👏👏👏
Thank you! Cheers!
Surprised you didn't put polythene under it, the ground is obviously wet mate so how are you tanking this to keep the wet stuff out ?
This is the foundation for the walls the waterproofing is above this and below the main floor, if you pause it on the plans you should be able to see it
@@Tornado_Davecould you show us all the details of how the waterproofing and structural reinforcement goes together in a future video?
@@Tornado_Davewill there also be a sump pump included in it as otherwise you could see issues especially when the structure ages and it’s
alot easier to fit one now
Man done good. Exelent job, looks supurb. 👍 👍 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
nice vid Dave.. thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great video
MM77 Approved 👍🏼👍🏼
After that effort it made me happy to see you taking a break traveling.
Yes it’s always good to a have a bit of time off sometimes 😀
This is brilliant
Proper youtuber doing it the last second 😅 now you only have to start each video making a mug of Coffee 😂
It added a bit to the video of just pouring some concrete I feel 😂
You got your 'well' done.
Love these videos!
Glad you like them!
I am just living a comment to remember when you have million subscriber that i am you're old subscriber ❤🇮🇳
@@backbencher_004_ I do hope the channel does grow big, can really do some cool projects then 😀
Good video.
That’s an insane amount of rebar in there for a residential basement.
Yes I think it’s going to be safe enough 😂
Keep Pressing!
Good job good job
respect
Good job
Just know this, if Alan Partridge ever met you he'd call you "a mentalist".
Nice 🍺
Hi tunnel dave
Nice video dude!! Looking good
Appreciate it!
Bit surprised you didn't ask your mate Tom Lamb to help with the dig. Would have made an interesting collaboration ;-)
I was going to if I got stuck, just wanted to get the 3cx to do all the digging if possible as I started the channel doing videos in that so thought it would be good for the viewers
@ 12:34 is that how you celebrate the concrete being poured?? Lucky boys! 😮 😮😮😮 😂😂😂😂
We went to the pub for some proper beer afterwards 😂
😂@@Tornado_Dave
I worried about how near was the lorry. Great progress
Yes I’m glad it didn’t fall in 😂
Nothing like a bit of time pressure when the concrete is booked, we do it regularly. Get it done though. 😊
Very true!
Nice work, concrete Dave 😅😅
Thanks 👍
My thought is a French drain so that any water can be drawn out by a submersible pump so you have no water problems that’s my thought be having rebar or membrane or shot create its all about reinforcement of the floor and wall wishing you the best mate 👍🍺
I’m having a sump just outside where the tunnel entrance is 😀
Sounds like you were being buzzed by the Luftwaffe at the start
Those were piston engines.
Hey Dave, Found you on FB, I’m retired miner, You’ll want off grid Fresh air bro, I’d put off grid everything from Air to Sump for floods, Just Neve know, Enjoy 🥳, Belus Southern Asia
Thanks for the tips!
I've done many concrete jobs. They are always painful. Glad you've got the worst of it behind you.
Do you have an ad up on marketplace for free fill? Maybe someone has a hole they need filling.
Just my thought I buy you 3 pints of beer because you do your best but that’s me
Yes the best thank you
How many cubic meters went into that slab? And how much did it cost if you don’t mind me asking?! Great work 🙌🏼
Niceeeee
Wow😅
I hope you are planning a lockable, watertight bulkhead type door for the tunnel entrance.
Yes, blast proof as well 😂
Toptastic grab a beer 🍺
I would love to make my own but upper management (the wife) won't let me lol
Is that traffic cone funnel from Furze, or is it a standard thing that concrete mixing people use?
After being at Colin’s I thought it was a good idea, tried it and it blocked up straight away and fell in 😂
Why do you not use a Putzmeister to pump the concrete to exactly where you want it?
Yes for the walls we will 😀
So how often have yah hit your head on the tunnel roof?
Not often now I’m used to it 😂

This is a footing, not a bathtub.
@@stephensaines7100 Did you reply to the wrong comment? There's nothing about a bathtub in mine.
Yes you are correct, I sent the pictures across and it was passed off that way, didn’t want to leave it a few days as if the walls caved in with rain I would of had to remove the mesh to dig it back out
@@Tornado_Dave Oh, it was nice of your inspector to allow that. It's always a welcome option.
@@StapleCactus Google:
"What is bathtubbing in construction?"
Good days worth of work! how do you eat a whale? one piece at a time! good on you!
Yes it was a monster day 😂
Hmm. The plane one minute in probably was a Russian spy that wanted to investigate your bunker building technique. 😅👍
It’s given me an idea 😂
@@Tornado_Dave Oh no!? 😅
Why have you left the bit in the middle? Is it for drainage?
This is just the footing for the walls, floor pour is after this stage
Was that a spy plane
How were the concrete guys when you say yeah I just gotta do this watsit.
They were a bit annoyed I wasn’t ready 😂
What an amazing project you have underway. Missed the origin of your story, not sure how you can afford all this equipment but keep it up 👌🏻
Why only just a little crawl space.... wouldn't a full size tunnel be better... I'm sure you've been asked this a million times.
It’s themed on the great escape and when finished I think it will be better like this 😀
@@Tornado_Dave that is awesome, i like that idea now. thanks. i will follow along to see the end
Why didn’t you go abit deeper
