Hi
Hi
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nice
Giga chad
I'm genuinely so proud of a man and his tunnel
First
swag
You should do a TunnelSmart down there
HEYA max... I love your content!
You too are fantastic
didnt expect Foshy here
Don't worry, you can keep on showing the digging, welding etc, we love it! Would watch a 10 hour marathon if it was available!
Yea
You posted 3 min ago and you already have 50 likes 😂
Yes i would love to watch that
yes
If he had a go pro in the corner live streaming it I’d watch it
Loving this series Colin! Every child in the world has imagined having secret tunnels and bunkers in their house, I know I certainly did when I was younger. Thanks for making my dream something that I can see actually done. One thing you could do to really nail it, you mentioned a lift in the pantry. I'm picturing a SECRET lift, to follow the theme of the series. Like, you pull a fake box of tea bags or a book, like in the movies, and the floor just psssssh's down. Thanks again, I hope you see this.
NO, it has to be a fake box of tea bags!!!!! LOL
the fact that he went through it repeatedly like 4 times at the end when it was finished speaks to literally everybody's inner child
Guys, HERE is The Savior
YaH The Heavenly FATHER HIMSELF was Who they Crucified for our sins, NOT jesus, and “HERE IS THE PROOF”
From the Ancient Semitic Scroll:
"Yad He Vav He" is what Moses wrote, when Moses asked YaH His Name (Exodus 3)
Ancient Semitic Direct Translation
Yad - "Behold The Hand"
He - "Behold the Breath"
Vav - "Behold The NAIL"
i fucking love how close friends you've gotten with tom since the bunker build XD amazing how insane projects build bonds
The fact that you manage to make something that is absolutely devilish with details of planning and consequence so ingestible for a layman is really what I love about this. It's comments like "we need to do this to stop that from happening" that really trivialise how complicated and hard it is to do what you're doing. The last episode with the foundations of the house etc, just the diagram you drew made it look so elementary in nature that even a layman could just say "Oh yeh of course", but the reality is that you had to realllyyyyy graft and put in the hours to make sure every part of planning is done and covered - and even allowed (from a council perspective). You hide all of those boring parts and break them down into easily ingestible parts and for that, I thank you :)
@George Washington i wish
@George Washington Okay comrade.
I agree, I didn't even realise 20 minutes had already passed when the video was over.
I'd love to hear some of the boring parts
Well said
Every "secert" tunnel needs a "secret" entrance. Like the standard head bust with a button on it. Or bookshelf with book lever. Maybe pantry has that too. Twist a bottle and the door opens.
Yes! Maybe there's a possibility of a collaboration with James Bruton and a 3D scanner to print out a bust.
Bruce Wayne
@@scubarick1 by Bruce Wayne do you mean piano or grandfather clock?
Secret elevator button
A turnstyle in the cupboard, that activates the door when you enter a special combination
Alright, you've officially gone mad!!! I absolutely freaking LOVE what you have done! Who cares that it takes 22 seconds to use the tunnel!!! IT IS A TUNNEL!!!!
yasss
It’s a FUN-NEL!!
the might be useless now but it will be very useful once he connects it to the bunker and maybe puts a batman type of car platform that lowers in to the tunnel
IDEA TO REPLACE THE PANTRY : A lift would be awesome, especially if it still looks like a pantry.
You could push one on the tiles to activate the lift and then the whole room goes downstairs ! After that, the wall on the right would unlock and open. You just have to push it like a door to enter the tunnel :) it's much cooler than a simple lift and acts like a secret passage
I’d love to know the practical elements from this build:
-Did you have to get city approval?
-How much would this cost? (The material cost seems insane)
-How much did this increase the value of your house?
Based on the amount of steel he's using and how much the value of steel has gone up, this is a ludicrously expensive project. Because he is an incredibly successful youtuber, he is basically one of the few who are capable of even considering this project, not even including the skills and engineering knowledge/connections to make this project get off the ground.
like to know 2!!!!
It's worth as much as someone is willing to pay, and since it's not on the market, nobody knows.
Other comments have summarized the approvals and permits Colin went through.
2m x 1m x 2mm cold rolled steel sheets are about £100, and you'd need about 4 of them per 1m section of tunnel. At a *very* rough guess, it looks like about 1.5 - 2 cubic yards of concrete per 1m section, which would cost of around £125 delivered. Electrical, plywood, taxes, other odds and ends, would push the total up to at least £575/m in my quick estimation, assuming Colin and friends do all the work.
As for increasing the value of his house, I wouldn't take that as a given, at least not for the appraisal price. Builds like this can be a liability. It seems to be built well, but even so, not everybody wants a tunnel or a bunker, and there would be required insurance and maintenance (or risk causing problems above ground or in the house). But, hey, it's fun as hell, and *I'd* love a house with a tunnel, so I guess if you find the right buyer, who knows.
E
Full send option- line the walls with shelves so as to disguise it as a regular pantry and retain the pantry's functionality, but the floor is a secret elevator that can slowly descend or ascend up and down the shaft at the pull of a concealed lever disguised as a food item. That would undoubtedly be the coolest option. Like a batcave entrance. IMO.
Have the down downstairs sign light up and it will reveal the opening to the tunnel.
Maybe he could get an old British telephone booth and build a floor like that for the front of the house haha
"Could you please grab me a can of beans from the - NO NOT THAT CAN OF BEANS!!!"
Even better extend the shelves all the way down to the bottom and double up the pantrys usefulness
Read this just as he said "if in the future, if we ever install a lift..." lol
You are built different dude. Just amazing. There would still be a big empty hole in my back yard.
Polk county where?
Love what you’re doing, tell us the scary part, THE COST
and total number of hours... (days, weeks, months, years...)
@@jonniiinferno9098 Probably not as bad as you think. Cost drops when you buy in bulk or have hookups. Time to completion drops with experience as well. I remember taking apart my car interior.... first time took me easily 8 hours. Subsequent times took me less than 1 hour. If I had to guess, this tunnel probably took ~3 months and around 100k but it really comes down to how much he is working (8 hour days vs 12 hour days).
he’s mentioned he can’t say exactly bc most of the costs were paid by sponsors and he can’t say how much the sponsors have paid him
@AllYourBase420 10K?
I don't think that's remotely close.
Do we cost in man hours?
Tool and equipment hire/Purchase?
Cost of electricity?
Cost of research, legal advice, contacting service suppliers etc.
The cost will have been far higher in my estimates.
But sponsors will have covered much of the cost, I'm sure. No doubt some of the tooling/equipment was covered by sponsors of previous jobs too.
So in truth, it all comes down to how you break down what the "cost" was.
@@richardwillson101 100k* whoops lol missed a 0
Can we all appreciate ricks friendship and help with everything colins done with his whole channel and building this tunnel especially. What a lad!
I'm pretty sure he is atleast partially hired
And of course there's Tom Lamb with all the machines. I think he's a farming/construction contractor
Work hard, play hard. Why not do both at the same time?! I’d like to see a couple of videos about the team behind Colin’s mad genius!
@@44dam4: I don't know why, but Tom seems like the friendliest chap you'll ever meet.
this man is living our childhood dream of connected underground tunnels at our houses. congrats man!
If you see this Colin would love to see a logistics video after its done... materials used... how many miles of welding wire used... planning permission from council? All the goodies please!
for real!!!
@@i-_-am-_-g1467 Seconded, especially the last part. Don't know how you'd run it by Buzzkill HQ.
@@dawidblazkowicz2702 It helps that he's famous and charismatic, the council's probably 1. Proud of him, and 2. Would rather not push him into moving to another town that wont stop him.
@@TheGrumbliestPuppy That and depending on where you live planning permission for underground structures isn't that big of a deal.
When I was younger my mum had a basement added to the house, no issues at all getting planning.
Glorious!!!! I’m loving the underground sign and tiles. You’ve really give the space character without being too overwhelming. I love it 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I don’t know what’s more impressive how much work it took or how good of a job you did. Pretty impressive
When he started talking about a car lift to go straight into the tunnels, mind exploded with excitement. This project is now INSANELY awesome
yeah like, it was awesome before but with that i can't even think of a word describing how awesome that is.
For real! Same!
Yep, exactly, i had to replay that part - i thought 'did i hear that right?!' , how f***ing awesome!!!!!!
sameeee i was like are you KIDDING me no fucken way
Just imagine this house 70 years from now.. It'll be for sale, and the house tours for this bad boy are going to be insane. Your work will live on forever :)
So this is the house… and down this ladder is an entrance to a secret labyrinth.
Get covered up, 70 years later.
We found a secret bunker/tomb. 23rd century history.
@Anel Zukic It is implied that Colin will not live forever and it could (potentially) go up for sale if no family members want it. Though, how could you turn down such a masterpiece?
I swear this man is a gem,hes sooo happy and content with his work,i have never seen such a genuine person, also crazy to the bone,just love him
Lots of sheet steel, welding, digging, and above all, quality workmanship. You clearly made a beautiful solid underground complex. I can't imagine all the work but it looks great!
Hey Colin, my suggestion is to finish the cut board so it look like a finished pantry. But, when you step in and close the door, the floor hydraulically lowers into your tunnel. A secret entrance of the sort. Plus it would be great for groceries when you get the front tunnel completed. You could trigger the floor by tugging on the Colin Furze spice on your spice rack or something like that. Great channel, keep up the awesome work.
@zuygj bnsv let’s be fair, it more than just a basement haha
I'm going to be terribly disappointed if the whole pantry floor doesn't eventually descend like in a cheesy spy movie.
Do this, PLEASE!!!!!
Yep, good suggestion! Big numbers on the wall to indicate level.
Shout out to the guy helping you on this, lad looks like he's putting alot of sweat and effort in and isn't complaining or showing any signs of slowing down 👊
I hear he's Furze's son travelled back from the future to help him...
He's Definitely getting paid for it.. I doubt Colin would let him volunteer all that work for free, even as a good friend.
Just gonna say, this is right proper! Just an awesome chap, building what he wants, having a blast doing it -- and all the while, putting out quality content for 11.9M subs.
Can't get any better than that! Well done, and bloody brilliant, Colin! You've done a heckin' amazing job!
What would have been really cool was if you had put a pressure switch on the ladder so that as soon as you stepped onto the ladder, the lights would pop on below.
If I'm reading the illustration correctly.. It looks like the section that is complete is the short section. So that means you have a ton of work left to do for connecting the bunker! I don't envy the work! But I can't wait to see the result!
Oh hey David, fancy seeing you here!
Well considering they had to dig carefully because house foundation and pipes and such, I would hope the dig to the bunker would go faster
At some point, I'm pretty sure he said the section in the yard is getting dug with a backhoe. It'll be the easy part.
@@korniestpatch And they had to deal with the bend, the next tunnel is gonna just be completely straight
It might be easier give he won't have to worry as much about plumbing, electrics , the foundation or the big one was the 90 degree turn.
I would add:
- a fireman pole
- fake window inside the tunnel so u can see the rocks (might look cool with some led lights)
- One entrance that looks like The Hatch from the show LOST (or u know, replica of on of the rooms from inside the hatch)
A fake window wouldn't be very functional, the entire tunnel is lined with concrete.
a fake into the rocks windows is a really good idea!
We need the button and the alarm that needs to be pressed every 108 minutes
Traps: nets, blowguns, a giant boulder, etc
I'd add a fake door that you open to just the rock face.
I like your tunnels. I apreciate all the work and effort you've put into them.
When I helped my mate Pete build the tunnel from the base of his tower (Tower has a five storey periscope inside it*) to the underground dry dock we made sure the tunnel was curved so you couldn't see how long it was :)
I wish I could share pictures of it.
*The periscope made a support for the winched platform and a great datum as the tower was built.
You're living life to it's fullest Colin... you are a super inspiring guy!
I'd love to hear the stats on this project. Man hours, quantities and costs of steel, concrete, services etc, also a flavour of the permissions and regulations involved. I never tire of your talk about details on the things you do.
Yea, I was about to ask the regulations/permit’s for this project.
@@skycloud7623 I guess as he's been doing it 'in secret' he's not bothered!!
Can't imagine what his house will be worth in the future though!
@@stepheneyles2198 (mission impossible theme starts playing)
I doubt it's anything other than the planning permissions that were involved with his bunker...
It's got to be an absolute insane amount of money. That steel alone costs a fortune. I don't know if he's using a weathering steel like COR-TEN, but I would hope so, especially as moisture rich as the UK is. But that would be an incredible amount of money.
For your Q&A: How are you disposing of all the rubble? Your neighbors have to be pretty used to your shenanigans by now, but it would be fun to hear their take on your new tunnel. What part(s) of the process have been the most difficult? Come across anything interesting in the digging process? Artifacts?
I love the whole tunnel idea. But not sure if being a neighbor to Colin is a win though. :p
He dug another tunnel and put it there.
@@matoatlantis Colin grew up after having kids of his own. No more clearing snow off the front yard with a pulsejet. His courtesy towards neighbours is sold as this tunnel being a secret project and thus not wanting to make a noise while neighbours are at home.
He puts a bit in his trousers, then goes for a stroll. The entire neighbourhood is a few centimeters higher elevation now.
@martin i I'd be helping if I were his neighbor. Ask him to build one secretly into my garage so I can come hang out with him when the wife is mad at me
What a talented man! Incredible! Not just the tunnel but your other projects.
Two things I love, is youtubers who are super passionate and who puts in a lot of effort for just an ad, most ads I skip cause the classic stand infront of a camera. Love the shark and love the engineering behind every part of this project.
Speaking of current events: Make the hatch able to be hydraulically assisted in opening. Even a bottle jack would work. Or you could adapt the mechanism from a floor jack. If there are several hundred pounds of debris laying on top of the hatch from a building collapse, you’ll need something like that to get it open.
genius! I thought just cool idea but yeah! How are you gonna lift all that fallen debris?
@@zTribalstylerz there will be pockets and cavities you don't have to lift all the debris but an assistance device would lift more than you could on a ladder that maybe a nice addition and another video idea
The mower shed might be the best bet in that case, lightest building of the three.
And cathodic protection so all that steel doesn't rust away before you need to use it
or you could just go through one of the many other hatches...
My boys and I love watching your content and they’ve been asking me almost every day for the past couple weeks when we can watch the next tunnel video-thank you for your hard work and fantastic content!
and at last you have a video to show them lol
You are walking on the Edge man. They Will ask you to build One as well.
@@colinfurze yeah thank goodness they’d probably be knocking at your door torches in hand if they had to wait another week
@@nerdwwii8081 haha yeah they already have, sorry to disappoint kiddos
@@josephcoyle8126 how dare you dad!!! You gotta do it. Might have to become your full time job or it will never get done. But that is a sacrafic I'm willing to make.
You have to give thanks to Rick and your friends for giving you a hand with this massive project, very well done all round.
Absolutely love the little shout-out to This Old Tony with the sticker, that poor guy always seems dwarfed whenever he's put beside colin, the hacksmith, and all those other makers, but the guy does his best nonetheless, he deserves the support
Colin, do you plan on getting a house appraiser to re-appraise your house after its complete? Im super curious how much value this would increase your house by. I also really want to see the appraiser's face as they explore it all.
In a previous video he mentioned that there's basically no way he could ever sell the house because of codes and regulations and things
@@Jmross808 no quite true, he stated that the bunker would have to be sold with a house instead of a house with a bunker. So basically the bunker would be listed first.
In some earlier Video, he mentioned that if he wanted to sell it, it would be better advertised as a Bunker with an attached house. Not the other way round
Now that would be a great video to watch.
@@aaronpreston47 lol imagine the listing for the house
"Bunker (includes house)"
I envy the people who find this series once it's completed and they get to binge watch it. Definitely my favorite thing I've watched in a long time
So… people 30 years from now? We all know that this project ain’t stopping with the secret car lift and the secret bunker entrance.
Project binky but underground
Same. It's one of the best RUclips series I've come across in a very long time. It's what made me discover and sub to this guy actually.
ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! The fabrication and end result is top notch!
I bet you’re REALLY happy to have this built now with the crazy recent events! Great job on ya
Man you probably hear this all the time, but still, I just can't express how much I love the content you have been putting out all these years! When I first started watching your videos I was in highschool and now I have a job of my own. All throughout your videos have inspired and entertained me. And after all this time you still appear to be that same old down to earth Englishman in his shed.
Love this project and I am so looking forward to what is to come!
Much love and thank you,
Jordie
Colin - so down to earth he tunnelled under it.
When its all said and done you should make a 1.5hr cut of everything from start to finish and put it on Netflix as a Colin Furze Special.
We need more humans like Colin on this planet!
I love this idea so much. I plan to make a bunker one day and have always liked the idea of a secret tunnel
The driveway lift for the car will be amazing! Can’t wait to see that.
Stuff being quicker, it’s about living life fun! Love it Colin. Look forward to the next video.
I hope he wears a batman costume for that finale.
I hope I speak for everyone when I say that we love seeing the digging stuff, even if we've already seen it. It's fun to watch the progress even if its not new content. Also, loving the car lift and the closet lift ideas omg. Congrats on all your success Colin, we love you!
It's safe to say we are digging his content
i love this. ive always wanted to do something like this. good on you for actually doing it, cheers mate
Incredible undertaking! amazing work.
Will you be installing any Smoke or carbon monoxide alarms in the tunnel? Now that it has gotten extensive, and you will be working inside the tunnel extensively in the future, it would be nice to have a monitoring system to keep you safe until your completion, or even from now on?
Good point nbs
Especially since he’s planning on having a car lift down to the tunnel
Safety tie is all the safety need.
I already can imagine Colin holding a cage of canaries in the next episode.
@@CrazyAJ_ Didn't he have a "canary" in one episode😆
Idea for your hatch: Fireman's pole with an automated foot-plate that you can stand on to go up or down. You don't need to use it on the way down, but would make it awesome to get back up AND have the benefit of sliding down the pole!
Just what I was thinking!
1000X better than a lift
This is THE ONE!
The The Batpole from the Adam west tv show
Telescopic firemans pole ;)
or, just have the pole, with a platform on the top, (like hydraulic lifter under a steel plate) instead of a full lift :D
This makes me want to build a tunnel of my own! Love your work :)
I'm absolutely amazed at the amount of work and professionalism you are putting into this. Bravo.
Question: would you be willing to do a video/short where you get a realtor to come out and assess the value of your house? For bonus points, you can have them do an evaluation without knowing about the tunnels, then show them the tunnels and see how the price changes :)
Also, how does the wife feel about this? LOL
yes this
That’s a great idea would be hilarious to watch.
Only downside is that a bunker is a specialty item so the realtor would have no clue how to value it any better than the average joe using google to search them up 😂
The wife obviously doesn’t know
I think he already said that he technically can't sell his house anymore. He would have to sell it as a "bunker with a house on top."
This for sure, though I think he said it would have to be advertised as a bunker with attached house at some point in the past.
"If you are thinking about tunnelling up into your own house, come up in a bigger room. It will make your life much easier."
That's the kind of down to earth, practical, common sense advice we watch these videos for.
Maybe this will pioneer a new way to think about house design? I must admit that I already considered building secret passageways into my house (build from scratch) and some of the ideas I get from watching this are a lot easier when you can do it as you build the house in the first place :D
Down to earth... lol
@@peptobismol2921 He is well grounded. 🤦♂️😁👍
@@c.j.cleveland7475 No, he's undergrounded!
ok
I've seen many many ads, so I like to consider myself an ad expert. I can say that, without a doubt, this Surfshark ad was the best one I've ever seen.
can we just appreciate the effort they put in just for the sponsor? its crazy how much they work for entertainment. I like it!
Please continue showing the digging, fabricating, welding, concrete work etc.
I do believe that most people would tune in to just see more of what you've done, I know I would!
Same. Love watching the Timelapse of digging and such!!
the way that it hit the back of the washing machine i couldn't understand who must've been able, or been worked up enough to develop the arm strength, the fierceness, the anger involved after he woke up from the incident and he saw cars all out in front of his shake shack
I love that logo in the intro, good job whoever designed that!
Great series, thanks for letting us follow every step. And Rick really is the unsung hero, he does all the work while they other guy is chatting on ;-). Two suggestions: 1/ A geological window, just a strip from top to bottom (or all the way around) where you still can see the the clay and limestone layers, would be interesting to see where you come from, possibly polished or with some nice lights. Second suggestion: Please tell us a little bit about the permitting procedure or whether you got a structural engineer, or are you really allowed to do whatever you want? Really curious about that, and I think many others as well.
ooo I like the idea of a geologic window. But having a section not reinforced by concrete might make an issue. Although it would be a great engineering issue to solve.
Yes, but rick ashley does sing so...
@@NickGreyden Maybe he could use (copious amounts of) epoxy resin in stead of concrete in this section.
..amazin Colin, brilliant. Best part by far was the Colin Furze branded jars and boxes of tea in the pantry, so funny and done just right, not too serious, fair dues mate, fantastic work!
Quite a bit late in seeing this, but have to say hats off to you for this unique project! it reminds me of Wallace and Gromit's house from the films with all the contraptions, saying that I'm sure you would easily create a pond that doubles as a driveway when flipped over.
This guy has 100% of my respect because he has never clickbated us when he says he's gonna do something it gets done. Thanks for the awesome videos man love em.
Build in a lift that has all the kitchen necessities built into its wall, so that it just looks like a cupboard. That way, all the equipment you'll need for tea and toast goes to the bunker with you.
Genius
It would also be nice if it had the option to be manually operated (maybe retrofitting an hand crank winch) or, either, wouldn't require external power at all to go down (obiously at the apropriate speed).
That way it could still be used in an emergency even if there's a power outage or the main driving system fails.
@@qdaniele97 definitely
Yes! A lift made from metal beams making a cage, with rails and maybe a pulley system of some kind that he can operate with a crank, alongside an electric version if he doesn't want to crank himself up and down. Only issue is that there's no space for it.
You've done a GREAT job Colin! Don't know anyone who could build a tunnel as well as you have.
I don't know anyone who could build a tunnel in the first place :)
This is all so cool, and surfing the flying shark made me pay attention to the sponsorship promo.
Speaking of current events; Install a landline. Regardless of what happens, if you're stuck down there due to a cave in, exit blockage from a storm, or even if a criminal forces you to hide down there, you'll need a means to call for help. Cell phones are not reliable when their batteries go dead, or if you don't have it with you.
So, I say install a landline and set it up at the mid point. As you grow the tunnel, extend the line for another emergency phone. I also suggest adding a bell pull system to the outside of the garage and in the house. That way you can pull either to alert those nearby that you need help or they for your help. Because calling on a phone can waste time.
bell pull system would be cool
The land line needs to connect directly to the line with no batteries in the phone.
This is a very sensible, and practical idea... And I approve wholly. In keeping with the Furzesque nature of the channel however, I feel like an SOS button that triggers an air-raid siren, fireworks, and calls Optimus Prime would be keeping in theme. Maybe.
He'll have 4 different exits by the time he's done, if he can move enough to reach a phone he can probably get out too.
@@raymondhayes3299 , I wonder how many people today realize that old timey phones didn't need any electricity, except from the line and that one could make a phone call purely off the power coming from the phone line itself.
At this point he should call it 'DIGGING THE WORLD'S MOST FAMOUS TUNNEL'.
Awesome work! Can't wait for the next one!
You have a good one there! "Digging the world's most famous *SECRET* tunnel" lol! I wonder what the next people who buys this house are going to think 🤔😏
i think el chapos tunnel has him beat
@Jesus has given you all. Repent or die. ??????
Hi
Otis
This series never gets old
This is so ABSOLUTELY amazing!!!
just keep digging just keep digging ⛏
When RUclips itself comments you know the video is a banger
What an OG account, they joined 52 years ago.
LMFAO - Everyday I'm Shuffling. "Everyday i'm SHOVELLING"
But I'm tired of digging
Dang youtube
IDEA: You should live streak digging the tunnel just mount a camera onto the roof of the tunnel so that it doesn't get in the way and BANG you can livestream. i am sure a lot of us would like to see you build the tunnel in real time and see how close you are to completing it. i know i sure would. Also definitely put in a firefighters pole that would make it so much quicker and easier to get down and be much more fun. Love the vids keep up the good work and happy tea making
That would be pretty cool
Colin does digging on Twitch 😂
The Furze Mole-Cam!
fireman’s pole to get down, along with a tiny seat/hoist system hooked to a super powerful winch to get back up (safety not considered since it’s colin furze)
That would be amazing
OMG! This is amazing! I dream of this exact same idea every day. Kudos!
The music in these Videos is always so good! Never heard any of it tho!
Question: Have you considered locks on your tunnel access to prevent someone from gaining access to your house from the tunnel?
15:07 Red lock
His whole tunnel system is inside the border of his house fence, if im not mistaken, he has a 5-6ft brick wall with a gate on it. if you mean, if someone breaks in and the door is locked, then his shop door would also probably be locked.
@@sleepyninja345 he should make some razor wire for his wall
@@Rick_Sanchez_G420 knowing Colin, he'd probably make a chainsaw around the wall
@@Alienguy500 Or a Tank of sharks surrounding the wall for his Sponsor Surf Shark
Yes! Underground garage with hydraulic lift for the car - can't wait to see that one finished! These tunnels look like the inside of a submarine - captain Nemo would like that. I hope no problems with condensation and moisture will arise in the future.
I thought he was ambitious just building the tunnels. When he announced the car park idea my jaw dropped. Can't wait to keep watching
@@RyanRostron right? And more often than not he delivers, I think I’ve only seen him fail once
This man is building the batcave before your very eyes
Living out every mans dream for him.... I love it... This is now on my bucket list.. Thanks for the inspiration!!!
I have to say this is my 1st of your videos, Colin and you seem completely mental, but in a delightfully giddy way. I compare your zest for invention, whimsy and exploration as similar to Marc Rober. I shall have to explore more of this channel. Subbed and looking forward to catching up. Cheers!
3 YEARS OH MY GOD, seriously i didnt think this series would have been going for 3 years, i remember watching the first ones like it was last month, wow time flies quickly.
He did first post it not long ago.
The last 2 years don't count 😆
Nar bro it's been 7ish years ahah
he started the project 3 years ago, but only started uploading the videos he took back then fairly recently. time is not linear on the internet in that way
Thank you Colin for the enterainment and sharing your projects.
Questions for the next video:
1) How have you accomidated for ventalation throughout the entire tunnel? Do you have something to move the air around or filter from the outside?
2) Have you thought about an emergency notification system to people outside of the tunnel that someone is down there? Example: What you or someone else got hurt in the tunnel but could not physically climb out, maybe they have no cellphone and cannot physically move to the bunker?
3) Have you textured the ladders in any way to help prevent accidents suchs as materials drop on the steps? Example: Any oil or loose rock that some how falls on the ladders could cause dangerous accident.
4) Have you considered possible drainage incase there was a leak into the tunnel? Example: In the unlucky chance, say the water pipes in the kitchen burst and water floods into the tunnel. Would all of the electrical be safe and would the water have directed areas to drain or be pumped out?
5) Is there an consideration on additional storage in the house or underground now that a the pantry has less storage space?
Have a great day!
Great questions
These are the type of questions a health and safety manager would overract with, If you watch all videos closely you can see fans and the core ventilation holes Colin has drilled throughout the project. This project is not finished yet, and Colin will find a way with the ventilation no doubt. Question 5 isn't necessary, some newly built housed don't even have pantrys. Everything else is just common sense...
If this were my tunnel project, #4 would be my top concern, but I have a phobia about drowning that is somewhere below my phobias about heights and slugs.
This is the coolest most awesomest series of videos I have ever seen on youtube! I wanted to be an archaeologist, geologist, or a heavy equipment machine operator someday because I love digging deep into the earth to see what's down there.
Switch cupboard in the kitchen with some sort of little display area for statues on all 3 sides that would be nice to see climbing up
How do you deal with the moisture? I notice the steel is raw. How will you prevent it from rusting? Also, is there a floor drain/pump system in case the tunnel floods?
I had the same question, those panels will last maybe 10-12 years at best unless he coats them
@@WilliamBrinkley45 guessing from the stuff he painted on before insulting & flooring the tunnel, he is going to coat them
Judging by the earth and rock around him, the ground literally has no moisture for some strange reason. If most of us tried this, we'd have a muddy mess and a lot of water to contend with.
That clay soil is never going to hold moisture. Flooding would be the only way that steel would come in contact with moisture.
@@dakedres I’m concerned about the backside of these panels
Honestly, I'd have added more storage cubbies along the side of the tunnel. Multi-use the space. Maybe have a hidden safe for your valuables or the like.
Still amazing to see this crazy project advance to this point. :)
I guess he would not show it on his vid if he made one... 🤫
Need more food storage and a Muck locker to store dirty gear so you dont track it through the place. Or a mini RO/ water treatment system.
Food storage, safe’s, back up generators, and a crazy security system.
MAKE A SUMMONABLE TOILET!! overengineer a fully functional, summonable toilet with height adjustment for short/long leggs.. And make it so you can use it in many rooms of a house
Love your vids, eagerly waiting for next tunnelling episodes however I wish you would use your protective glasses / goggles more!
I've got a question for your Q&A video: Are there any regulations considering digging tunnels under your garden or house in the UK? Do you need permission from your local government and if yes, what paperwork is needed?
He got permission. I'm sure you can find the paperwork pretty fast.
I suspect you'd probably just need planning permission from the council and an evaluation by a civil engineer to ensure the house doesnt collapse once you start digging. His property, and it's not visible from above ground, so I doubt there would be too many issues.
@@BenDover-ts4lt Yes but also im sure because some people can be jealous and petty. He made sure that everything is above board, because someone will report him just for the sole purpose of causing trouble or to ruin projects. Probably because a perceived slight or jealousy. Ive seen it happen with other you tubers particularly off gridders to local authorities and pilots to FAA or national aviation regulators for perceived violations for those reasons.
Looking at the planning permission docs, Colin actually only applied for planning permission for the bunker after the work had started, csnt find any planning applications for thesr new tunnels as I imagine it falls under permitted development
you need planning permission to hang your washing out in the UK
This has to be the coolest home projects ever, What man wouldn't want this? Love the underground garage idea too! Soon you wont even need a house, at least not above ground. :P
Man or *Woman*
Funnily enough, due to UK property law, if ever sells his house, it will need to be sold as a "Bunker with a house attached", rather than a "House with a bunker attached" 😂
rent the house and live in the "basement"
Your best video so far. Keep it up, the entertainment value is above ground level. I been watching your videos for the past couple of years.
Andrew from Christchurch, New Zealand.
What a wonderful underground project, well done Colin and helpers. Now, as others have commented, the music in the series is great, especially in this episode 8 at around 14:45 minutes in, at the start of the tour. What is the beautiful synth music please ?
The most enjoyable project I've watched
Yes
Why do I got the feeling this is gonna be so much bigger than anyone ever imagined. Like these underground tunnels will eventually have added rooms and spaces.
May I recommend you look into the Williamson Tunnels in Liverpool? This will give you a great insight into the potential insanity this idea will bring ;)
Just him saying that he want a car elevator is crazy already🤯
@@tomdgardner awesome, I’ll check that out for sure!
@George Washington sir this is a Wendy's
I love the degree of professionalism
Pure quality all around
So Cool! So respectful of your accomplishments!
If you're thinking of replacing the trap door as part of a future project, may I suggest the secret entrance to the bat cave. This would be a combination of a fireman's pole to get down, some form of motorised or hydraulic platform to bring you back up, and to top it all off a secret opening pantry shelf that opens when you tip the cookie jar.
I’d love to see this too. Gets my vote.
Looks like there would be enough room to have some sort of sliding bookcase on the left hand side. Also needs a one-piece bat suit to step into on the way down as the finishing touch.
That would honestly be such a Colin thing to do too
It makes me smile every time when he is saying "secret" tunnel, while publishing every single dug meter 😁 I love this series very much ❤️
This is just a front so people don't look for the actual secret tunnel he has been building for three years.
@@terminator6199 it's all green screen, there is no tunnel :)
Well, we all know each other over here so it's Fiiine' :)
Remembering that local authorities surely have to know about this project breaks the immersion sometimes but this series is still amazing!
This feels like something Dale Gribble would do... except with no safety precautions
Kevin Talbot and Colin Furze doing some mis behaving with some rc stuff would be EPIC.🐢🐢
For the entrance to the tunnel in the house, have you thought about having a batcave style entrance with a switch that moves a bookcase? Or maybe a slide or chair that takes you down like in thunderbirds? Definitely make the entrance concealed in the house to go with the feel of the whole project. Great work so far though.
