Timber is crazy expensive here in New Zealand now, and that's if you can even get it. It's the same with steel. The last project I did, the steel cost me 50% more than I was expecting based on previous purchases. So Mike's build is surely going to be eye wateringly expensive.
I know there is a time delay for Mike to post these videos. But, a few weeks ago, I went to the local box store to get a couple of bags of cement to set some fence posts. The store was completely out. When I asked an employee about the shortage, he said that some dude In Utah had been buying all available cement in the western US. 😊 Amazing stuff, Mike!
Can’t wait to see where the negative sub wave warp field propulsion cells are going because we all know the house will fly as well and be able to orbit the earth.
NSWW propulsion is so 2022. Mike will, obviously, use a Quantum Tunneling Universal Coordinate Phased Array so that the house will exist at all possible location at the same time.

Right now, in other multiverses, there are 4,397 versions of some poor concrete delivery truck driver trying to explain just where the heck his load went.
@@timwatkins6559 Yup...the engineering is incredible. I doubt we'll ever hear the entire cost of the house but it's got to be many many millions. Maybe he can write part of it off as a business expense since he's building it "for" the channel...lol.
@@timwatkins6559 A swimming pool with a moving floor is not cheap. But to a poor man a tent is expensive. I think what Mike learned on this project is worth the expense.

@@barrydoman1749 Mike is a master at philanthropy. The temporary wall elements probably will become roof rafters for homes for the needy. I enjoy watching Mike for his problem solving ability. I only know Mike through his actions. Waste will be minimal.
Mike is a particular type of person that is absolutely necessary to Humankind. No matter the individual viewpoints, politics, preferences, or beliefs, a better world will be attainable because of people such as the Patey's. Their on a path to use less resources to accomplish more while a better version of more simultaneously. Best part is, THEIR CAPABLE OF DOING IT! Proving their methodology to be accurate. Inspiration in advancement of technology and materials is quite astonishing to learn for free if a person just takes a breath to pay attention.
The best thing about watching any of your videos for me is watching you work through every possible engineering variable on such an incredibly complex build, and you just keep checking of what-ifs and maybe-we-coulds until every box is checked. Eventually it gets to the point that you've answered every question and you run out of ways anything could go wrong, and you know the design is complete. Then you build it exactly as designed, down to every spec and tolerance. Very satisfying to watch.
Mike, I love your energy and passion for designing, and engineering new things! Everyone knows there are simpler ways to build and live, but you exercise who mind, body, and soul into remarkable tangible expressions of your being.
I discovered this series and your channel yesterday as I searched about building an unusually deep indoor swimming pool in a home. As someone who has always loved freediving it's been an interest of mine and something I've always envisioned for my dream home build when the day comes. This is an incredible project you're working on. I love the extent of over-engineering on this build and I'm very excited to see the finished home. I'm also very into airplanes and other engineering so very glad I found your channel. I'm subscribing and will follow along for the rest of the journey. Thank you for sharing.
I can just imagine all the stuff that goes on in your head when it hits the pillow. You are amazing Mike, much respect for your intellect and enthusiasm.
This is right on the edge of my ability to comprehend the design and execution of this project. Pretty much like any other Mike Patey dreamt up endeavor. I'm as hooked on this one as I was when I first followed the Draco project. I can't decide if Mike's brain is a curse or a blessing for those around him. It's definitely a interesting ride for sure.
I deliver concrete, mixer driver, so I know how much 10 yards of concrete costs. Not to mention the pump truck, labor, materials etc etc. I’ve done the math and so far you’ve spent 1 BILLION dollars!! Love watching this build and I can’t wait to see this house finished. Absolutely a work of art! Keep it coming.
About $1k-$1.5k delivered for 10 yards of concrete, yeah? So if his pours have added up to somewhere under 1000 yards, then we're looking somewhere in the realm of $100k worth of concrete. Still a whole lot of concrete though.
My Rule of Thumb for my home building projects is, "When the drywall is finally mud and taped, we are about halfway in the build." Mike is not even close to starting drywall. Still, this is an amazing design and I admire his ambition and I am optimistic he will have a fantastic structure/sculpture when he finally puts the key in the front door.
Your killing again now I can't wait to see the cabin you might build ( 17:15 ) with the lumber your taking out, Here goes another year of Mike Patey and I'm loving it. Thanks for sharing
One would think that with a project as amazing as this that Mike would show a little bit of enthusiasm and excitement. 😉 You can certainly see pride in workmanship when temporary work is neater that most subdivision final work. You have an amazing crew of people Mike. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I would much rather see your work footage (not sped up) and then have you do a voice-over explaining what is happening. The way you do it now, it's almost like a podcast. There isn't much to look at. Just staning and you explaining stuff. Great construction work and design! Love your vids!
Mike I just love you and Marks enthusiasm and you're incredible engineering ability's. I just want to say I find it up lifting and brightens my day. Thank you. Daryl from Indy.😀
I would for SURE drive 31 hours to come to get that timber! Great job!! These videos are something I probably wouldn't have looked into before but I'm finding them completely captivating.
The prep detail and experienced thought that Mike has put into this is fantastic! Logistics, loads, thermal conduction, assembly sequence details and coordinated execution are case studies in excellence!
For small quantities of concrete in low temperatures, you can even mix with hot water. I like your curing solution with space heaters and covers over the concrete. Due to different ages of concrete parts you will aways have some fine cracks at interface between old and new. There is a concrete repair mortar that you paint on, which migrates into the cracks and gives a good seal. (Sika or Flexcrete)
Careful Mike! (If you're using kerosene) Last time I heated a basement concrete pour in winter with a Kerosene heater, the concrete cured extremely dry, and crumbly! Was weak as well, as we needed to hammer it all out from the heater damage.
I showed up for the experimental aircraft builds, but stayed for the household engineering. This project is fascinating. And with all that wood coming out, how much would be salvageable to make, say, a wooden aircraft frame and body?
I'd assume it's the wrong kind of wood for that - just way too heavy. For aircraft you want to maximise strength-to-weight, whereas for construction you're looking at much bigger loads and you're optimising for strength-to-volume (and don't really care about the weight of the wood itself). Caveat caveat of course, I'm not an expert. I actually discovered this channel when Mike crashed Draco, but beyond that I followed the same path as you: subscribe for the experimental aircraft, stick around for basically anything else he wants to upload because it's all interesting.
Hello. I saw your pool project and was blown away by the idea. A floating floor that will go up and down on cables is crazy. I would like to see the end of your project and how everything works. I'm wondering, when the floating platform is raised, there will be no gap between the floor of the SPA area, people won't swim under it??? And when the platform is on the surface, it will not warp from the weight of the guests?? And if the floating platform is at the bottom, it will be affected by a colossal pushing force. What is the volume of water in the pool? I was confused by the number of fixing dowels on the wall, at the bottom of the pool for the passage of cables.
Well it's starting to look like a space program you going to have anything you can ride to space in unbelievable progress better be in every magazine in the world great job change the world that's what you do
Mike when you have a narrow column and a slab, you get a thing called punch through, we overcome it by making the column wider at the top or by using a beam.
mike you are an amazing man. it is the can do attitude that I love. and have to laugh, I grew up in your Neiborhood. it was just fields back then but I recognize the dragline in the background. the owner of that rig was an amazing man and he is missed. thank you for the videos and the lessons you bring with them.
Mike I trust you are going massively prop under that timber formwork prior to pouring the concrete? I work in the industry here in Australia and have witnessed first hand what happens with wet weight of concrete. Catastrophic failure and death. I admire your work, I feel like I’m watching a nail biting movie.
Shouldn't compromise the strength - tension cables in concrete are only held under tension while the concrete spans are first poured anyway. Once the concrete has set, each point along each cable is balancing the tension of the cable against the compression of the concrete. You're not relying on anchors at the ends of the cables - instead the entire length of each cable is made of anchor points where the cable is bonded to the concrete, so you can trim as necessary and the remaining pre-stressed concrete span won't lose any strength. We are used to seeing those cables (or untensioned rebar for that matter) sticking out the sides of precast panels, but that's because in some applications you want to embed those ends in some other concrete that you're pouring (or tie to other panels or whatever). In this application, the spans don't need any of that - all their loads are just pushing them down onto the supports that they're sitting on.
Haven't seen the details yet, but he has said that the entire volume of water will automatically drain into underground storage tanks if the pumps lose power - that's specifically to avoid damage from the water freezing in places that aren't designed for that. Also I assume he's got backup power planned, but I don't think we've seen details of that yet.
Amazing build Mike! Having rebuilt after a fire, I think the wood coming back out of your build cost as much as my entire rebuild! Lol! Awesome engineering, and glad I didn't have to deal with engineering in my rebuild. Crazy enough learning the General contracting side of things let alone adding other "trades" on top of that! Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing this! Looking forward to seeing it finished! (And of course airplanes too! 😉)
This is awsome Mike! I have watched all you videos and these ones of the house I'm loving! I'm a builder by trade and in the process of building my own concrete house in New Zealand. Concrete is such an amazing product and and gives you so much scope for crazy designs that can't be done with any other materials. I have never had the privilege of going to America but given the chance then I would love to see this place if I'm ever in your neck of the woods.
With the cables in the span deck, aren’t you supposed to NOT cut the end of those since their tension provides structural integrity? Talking about the large curve,cut with masonary saw.
Need to add one detail... not only heat, but humidity is very important for the concrete... moisture, as You said, is needed for well maturation of the concrete... 7 days minimum, to arrive at some 70-75% of its hardens, and portability...after 24-28 days it arrives at its full load capacity...
Mike, Do you have a topping slab on top of the Spandeck slabs? Usually we have a reinforced topping slab to act as a diaphragm to transfer all the lateral loads to lateral load resisting system. If no topping slab is used there are usually some embedded connectors to connect the planks together to transfer shear loads. I am just curious and i am a structural engineer very inertested in airplanes.
Livermore laboratories reported yesterday that the Earth has begun to tilt on its axis. The cause of the tilting is somewhere in the state of Utah, more investigation is required.

Did the tension cables in those precast spans get cut when you trimmed the ends to size? Wouldn’t that cause a significant loss of strength?
Shouldn't compromise the strength - tension cables in concrete are only held under tension while the concrete spans are first poured anyway. Once the concrete has set, each point along each cable is balancing the tension of the cable against the compression of the concrete. You're not relying on anchors at the ends of the cables - instead the entire length of each cable is made of anchor points where the cable is bonded to the concrete, so you can trim as necessary and the remaining pre-stressed concrete span won't lose any strength.
We are used to seeing those cables (or untensioned rebar for that matter) sticking out the sides of precast panels, but that's because in some applications you want to embed those ends in some other concrete that you're pouring (or tie to other panels or whatever). In this application, the spans don't need any of that - all their loads are just pushing them down onto the supports that they're sitting on.
Outstanding feat of engineering.
I'd say you're in over your head but I know better. If it were myself I'd definitely be in over my head. Time to get back to work!
Hope you've planned a backup generator for say heating and a heater for anti freezing water(low power needed of course for that) and for storms?
Haven't seen the details yet, but he has said that the entire volume of water will automatically drain into underground storage tanks if the pumps lose power - that's specifically to avoid damage from the water freezing in places that aren't designed for that.
