The content is always great. I just want to shoutout to whomever is doing the graphics illustrating what Mike is talking about! They’re so smooth, and tell the story without being distracting. And, like everything Mike is involved with, they’re well engineered, and tight!
Mike - Just awesome and as a retired executive project manager from one of the world's largest E&C companies, I am absolutely impressed with your engineering skills and installation work. Have to add that I never thought I would see the word thermocline used with a home swimming pool 😄.
I've been following your house build since the very beginng and its just jaw dropping to see it practically complete. Kudos to you and everyone who had a hand in the amazing build. Side note, I have discovered this is my dream house. One day, I will build something like it!
Pretty amazing timing for a full-systems check. I know all about how oddly satisfying plumbing can be. The chemical mixing system is amazing; hope it all works as advertised. The Pool Lives! All your system design detail is paying off. Well Done!
Legend Mike! Would love to see the AV setup you have (like your sound systems, TV's, wifi, comms rack). I know all my fellow tech nerds would also love to see it.
Mike your home is absolutely beautiful. When will you get back to building airplanes? I an old man but it’s awesome to watch your builds than for sharing Gos bless !!!
It looks great. Thanks for letting us into your new home. Are you planning to have a rigid cover for the water which will: 1) Prevent debris from entering the water, reduce filter use and pump wear 2) Minimise heat loss, running costs and ultimately, pollution 3) Provide a larger floor area for other activities during the many times when the pool is not being used?
Nice job, Mike. Thanks for showing us the execution of this build. We hope you and your family can enjoy it for many years. 🙂👍 Now, how are your aircraft builds progressing?
I love watching your engineering Mike! Your work ethic and attention to details is epic! Keep it up. I miss the airplane builds but I love seeing the house build. Keep it up! You're an inspiration to many👍
Your planes and houses are amazing dude. I'm hoping to see you and Mark in Oskosh on Tuesday. I was also at the 2018 and 2021 EAA Airshow in Oskosh looking foward to seeing you both again soon, Keep up the hard work!!!!
Hi Mike, my ADD usually makes it harder to follow along with a lot of details of things I don't have a whole lot of interest in, or didn't know I did, and/or the technical side of things I don't totally understand and I get lost in the details along the way, then lose interest, but have to say that I believe you are a very good explainer/teacher when describing pretty much everything you do, so it is easy for me, and probably a whole lot of others, to follow and understand what's going on with everything. I appreciate that side of your personality, with not only being very knowledgeable on so many subjects, but also sharing and simplifying the processes so most people can follow along. After watching your channel for years, I've learned you're a planner and don't leave anything to chance, or any rock unturned, that could be hiding a snake under it to come back and bite you later. I can not even imagine, while sitting here right now, the amount of research you had to do on all the different mechanical systems, with all the reminder notes for each, and the structural engineering marvel/s you have created throughout the Patey dream home. With seeing DRACO every time I watch your channel, I often wonder if there are plans in the future to build another, or is SCRAPY the alternate replacement with enhanced features, that best suits your needs? I sure did like DRACO, and it's climb rate off the deck, but if I were in your shoes, not sure I could build another DRACO, that might remind me of the "what ifs" of the day the huge wind guest pushed DRACO so hard to the right, immediately after take off, making straight and level impossible, especially so low to the ground. You all stay safe..."Back to work!!🙂
Looking good Mike. If those peristaltic pumps fail, I would replace them with a nice Stenner. You should have a decent amount of run time on the elements. I would also do a second containment if they do fail. Atleast the chemicals will not be all over the place. Some of the pumps have a knockout or extra port for a drain tube, but they never work. I’m not sure injecting the acid and chlorine so close together is ideal if you have the space. I would also inject the acid first. Those checks at the injection points might be a pain along with build up of calcification at the points. They do make injection “quills” which are nice. They put the flow of the chemical directly in the middle of the pipe for better mixing and less buildup. utilize “water treatment” grade materials and mechanical items. It seems like a lot of “pool” grade or labeled products just don’t last or are less superior to what we use in the large scale water and wastewater treatment industry. Love you guys. Keep up the amazing work.
@@makerpat Mike installed stadium lights on the back of the house to create a light curtain so people walking by at night could not see it. Problem is it's not a stadium. Light pollution pissed off everyone on this channel. Mike responded .
mike, have you ever though of making a lifting body/ blended wing plane? been toying in flyout using 2X pusher and pull engines facing in a V, basically an electric plane with thrust vectoring trough linked airduct (after air streams meet). i know electric planes makes little sense BUT i also think if there ever is a plane for it, it ought to be some form of flying wing.
I'd like to see the pool floor move and how that is all supposed to work. Especially so people can't get trapped underneath. I've had a hard time conceptualizing that.
Lol, what part is hard to conceptualize? Picture a mesh floor that is able to move up and down through the water. There isn’t an easy to access way of getting under that movable platform. If you were swimming and someone started raising the floor it would simply push you up through the water.
@@savage6394 Apparently it's pretty hard to visualize, since your description is way off from what Mike has already described in these videos. The floor he's said he was going to install is a floating solid platform held down by a cable system. It's not installed yet as far as I can see.There's supposed to be a curtain that comes up with it to keep anyone from being able to swim under it from the shallow end when it's all the way up.
@@TomInGulfBreeze That's what I thought he had said. If I remember correctly, it is also supposed to be able to come up out of the water to make solid surface in that area.
Amazing setup, but do you plan to use a pool cover? There will be massive heat loss by evaporation if you don’t. It is the main mode of heat loss, this is why all public pools use covers
When Mike turns on the lights and gas fired heaters in his house I have a flashback from Christmas Vacation When Clark Griswold turns on his lights . LoL 😂
Glad to see the video back! I didn't get to finish it when it was originally posted. I hope you can ignore the handful of folks being shitty in the comments. There are lots of us who appreciate the amazing engineering, enjoy the content, and appreciate the time you put into sharing these.
Lol " folks being shitty ". Imagine thinking putting stadium lights on the back of your house for "privacy" is a good idea. You would 100% think different if you ever used that park or lived near him.
Mike mentioned the frisbee golf course nearby so I did a map search to see his neighborhood. The light curtain would only have been a nuisance to people walking directly across the river and that was enough to stop the stadium project. I like that he took it down but no mention of it is odd.
I really hope we get a whole house tour when he’s finished. I feel like we’ve only seen the outside, pool, basement and part of the kitchen.
@@Daniel-tc1dw and dog wash down yard
Beautiful house, still waiting to see the movable pool floor.
Mike this is all so amazing but where have you been? Haven’t seen any RUclips videos lately miss you, brother.
I enjoy your videos but Mike anytime you wanna take a break, feel free. You owe us nothing. 😇
Your attention to detail and organization is nothing short of phenomenal!
Would you honestly expect anything less? Make it neat even if noone sees it except yourself!
The content is always great.

Can't wait to see the moving platform in action!
That place is awesome. Great engineering and planning.
just did a binge watch on this build. incredible!!!!
Mad at RUclips for not putting this in my feed the day it was posted.
Liking Mike for posting it when the country needed good and amazing creativity.
Yes exactly I have to type mike patey in weekly just to check to see if he dropped anything on his home build
yeah same here! only getting to it now!
I really love your redundant and failsafe engineering. Great fun to watch.
Keep on sharing the correct way to build! Back to work.
Mike "Void The Warranty" Patey! Something tells me he can fix what's broken.
Great video. Can’t wait to see how you built the “floating platform “ for the deep end. Keep up the good work
I've been following your house build since the very beginng and its just jaw dropping to see it practically complete. Kudos to you and everyone who had a hand in the amazing build. Side note, I have discovered this is my dream house. One day, I will build something like it!
Mike you are truly a role model, I badly want to see you in person, please plan a trip to India, God like perfection!!!! insanity
Pretty amazing timing for a full-systems check. I know all about how oddly satisfying plumbing can be. The chemical mixing system is amazing; hope it all works as advertised. The Pool Lives! All your system design detail is paying off. Well Done!
Good morning from Minnesota!! So fun to see it all coming together!! Great episode!
Haven’t seen you for a long time, really enjoy your stuff……Roger (Australia)
Congratulations Mike, what a beautiful house, enjoy you deserve it
Wow. That's incredible. I wish I had the technological know-how to do stuff like that.
You're an inspiration Mike!
Snow this early! I hope this is a sign we are going to get a good snow fall this year. Skis are already calling my name.
Spectacular home. Well done Mike and family
Looking forward to your next video, i hope to see you next weekend at the Spanish Fork airport 👍🏼
1:36 Was looking forward to seeing the ice melt system doing work.
Glad you're getting to enjoy the benefits of all your hard work!
Absolutely amazing, Mike! Thanks for the video!
Cmon Mike tell us what's up with the light curtain thing! Looking forward to the next video. Excited to hear about the floating floor system.
I wish I would have seen the original video, curious to know about the light curtain others have mentioned. Such an epic build.
🔥🔥🔥 so amazing Mike!!! I love all the attention to detail and additional measures in place! So proactive!!! This house is super dope!
This must be fun !
Legend Mike! Would love to see the AV setup you have (like your sound systems, TV's, wifi, comms rack). I know all my fellow tech nerds would also love to see it.
Can’t wait to an up to date video of the completed house with a summer pool party!
love your videos.... and I hope that we soon see the pool floor go up and down...
man! your pool pump and filtering system looks like it could handle the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
Everything with Mike is the ultimate. But it's never enough.
Never seen a man more passionate about a pool.
Absolutely stunning!!!!
Mike your home is absolutely beautiful. When will you get back to building airplanes? I an old man but it’s awesome to watch your builds than for sharing Gos bless !!!
Looks great!
Love this whole series and couldn’t get enough! So many great content creators out of Utah…must be something in the water 😉
Filter system costs more than my entire real estate portfolio 😂😅
Whoa that shower!
Keep the videos coming! Cheers
Looks Amazing!! Well done

This is officially a mansion!! The Patey Mansion. :)
More like a Fortress.

Great blogs, also realy curious about how you going to place / install your adjustable floor.
are you going to upload an video on the making on the pool deck that gose up and down ?
Thats an epic house. cool ideas. Ive been thinking i want a giant aquarium i can swim in
nice to see that all of your heated areas worked to remove the snow.
This guys TURBO CHARGED 😮
Stunning
Beautiful build! I had to laugh, when you said it was alot of work, in the filter/chemical room! Everything, is alot of work!
Awesome and then some!

Amazing 1° a minute 😮
Hoping to see some aviation build content soon!!!!!!!!
Always great videos. I saw when it was first posted and the light curtain was a great idea.
Is this just a repost with the controversial “light curtain” (spotlights to blind neighbours and passers-by) part cut out?
Waaa. It was cool information. Literally wouldn't have bothered anyone complaining.
I missed the earlier post - what was cut out?
@@makerpat Mike installed stadium lights on the back of the house to create a light curtain so people walking by at night could not see it. Problem is it's not a stadium. Light pollution pissed off everyone on this channel. Mike responded .
@@gravityfuzz what, why? Seemed like a great idea.
@@gravityfuzz Better to be pissed off than pissed on (unless you are into that sorta thing lol )
I'd love to see the pool in deck mode!
It’s still a dream of a home
mike, have you ever though of making a lifting body/ blended wing plane?
been toying in flyout using 2X pusher and pull engines facing in a V, basically an electric plane with thrust vectoring trough linked airduct (after air streams meet).
i know electric planes makes little sense BUT i also think if there ever is a plane for it, it ought to be some form of flying wing.

Mike, after you finish building awesome planes and awesome houses, you can swing by Boeing and Airbus and help them get their stuff together.
I love that this is basically what Tony Stark would build for a vacation home.
An engineer's DREAM HOME!
Difficult to balance a scuba hobby with a flying hobby!
That's awesome, but wow is it complicated!
This is a repeat video , but I don't mind since it is always great to see the engineering.
Mike, are you okay???
Snow in July is nuts
I hadn't made it through the last video when it got taken down, I'm bummed i didnt get to see the whole thing!
Mike we have all been worried about you and the family glad your all good
Wow it really is cheaper for you to fly first class to any deep dive around the world at this point for the rest of your life XD
Mike. You should help design Cleetus's new house at the airport.
His house is already designed... The build starts in a few weeks and for all you know he did consult with him
Jeez Mike. If you ever sell that house, the new owner will need a University Degree to run it :)
Are you going to post a video demonstrating the floor moving up and down to change the depth?
Amazing setup, but do you plan to use a pool cover? There will be massive heat loss by evaporation if you don’t. It is the main mode of heat loss, this is why all public pools use covers
I had a weird feeling of déjà vu through most of this video. :-)
Amazing...........!
Amazing America 😮
Deja vu I feel like I’ve seen this before mr patey
When Mike turns on the lights and gas fired heaters in his house
I have a flashback from Christmas Vacation
When Clark Griswold turns on his lights . LoL 😂
I hate the long breaks between the videos, but I know you're doing crazy things. Hope to see what you're up to now
love it
I love these videos, but damn do i feel broke right now 😂
It looks like you're going to need a full-time facility manager.
