Man I really hope this guy is still alive. it looks like he moved out of the house in 2016 though ={

soooo cool. Way to go Bob!!

Truly amazing of what one person can do! Reminds me of the streets of yesterday! At house on the Rock! In Wisconsin! Pretty cool! Basement! If you can dream it! Build! It! And they! Will, come! Lol. Great! Job!

I’m watching this video on 1/2/23 at 4:09am at work. Something made me remember this video, and I had to go back and watch it. I hope John and his family are doing well, and his basement has gotten even better!

Absolutely fantastic 👏 👌 ❤

WOW....just WOW! This is incredibly awesome and I absolutely LOVE this! My hat's off to the guy for creating such a masterpiece! Beautiful work!

Oh my! Amazing!!

I like that

amazing

That’s pretty neat. Woulda been a lot of fun for grand kids!

What year did this show air? I cannot find any information on this show "Incredible Basements"

It’s amazing to be able to create your dreams

Simply amazing,what a smart man and very good work

Wholesome

He’s not an engineer, more like an imagineer. If he worked for Disney maybe it wouldn’t be intellectual property world today.

Wow amazing

0:48 As soon as i heard of the premise, I thought "Huh, that reminds of the museum of science and industry." AND BOY WAS I RIGHT.

My favorite part is how he hid windows, breaker boxes, plumbing, etc. Clever and practical.

Our provincial museum is like this only they have piped in street sounds etc. You go past an old kitchen and someone is baking an apple pie and you can hear horses clip clopping on the street and the breeze is blowing the curtain in. Best of all there is the scent of cinnamon throughout the kitchen. It was built decades ago. You can go into the cinema and watch silent films. It is an amazing piece of work. In York UK they have a huge museum with different time era streets. One street is set in Regency times, one is in early 1900s etc. I think these types of displays are amazing. Of course with museums they have all original stuff that has been donated but the thought, planning and creativity is wonderful. I would love to visit all of them.

Wow

Every man has a hobby, this is so cool. Amazing. You can tell he had alot of fun making it.

Always dream of having something like this! God Bless

It would have been a dream to play here as a kid. I'm so jealous 😭

Man this is absolutely incredible

Wow. Mike Rowe with hair lol

Inspiring! Great way to display your collecibles!

Awesome..

This is fantastic!!!!

Thanks, Mr. and Mrs. Scapes! Beautiful basement, wonderful memories! "My kind of town, Chicago is....!"

Unbelievable Video! Growing up in Chicago, this whole clip is heartwarming! Basements are a "staple" in homes in the Midwest. The Museum of Science and Industry, my favorite Chicago museum, was a mainstay for my family, especially Saturday's during the summer, late 1970s until mid 1980s! The Yesteryear exhibit was a favorite, for it meant ending the walk thru with a photo on a classic car!

I got tired out just looking at all this work. Good job!

I saw this on TV quite a while ago. I wonder if he's still at it or is he still around? I hope so.

Incredible!

Incredible....I luv it! Amazing creativity he has.

Totally cool concept. This guy is so talented and has so much imagination.

I just love Mike's makup. It is hard to see him all prettied up. He is supposed to be rugged and do the dirty work stuff. This in not the Mike we know.

This is a true treasure. I would travel to the united states just to see it (I'm from Australia). You are a genius, sir, and this is a wonderful idea perfectly executed :D :D (sorry if this is a double post; there was an error on TH-cam)

Absolutely beautiful- Good for you! I love that period too! ❤٩(•̮̮̃•̃)۶

@martinsuper73 Why leave the house, it was paid off (about $211,000, actually) by the time i was 25. Go back to your apartment and stfu, plz kthx.

@sirvegeta You can turn off the X-Box and hit puberty one day. But you are going to have to leave the house.

@martinsuper73 little bitch, raging. ROFL. Grow up.

This basement is a amazing. I want to hang out there!

Dear God, what does Mike Rowe not do?

Absolutely incredible - and his sawmill alone is still much larger than my workshop!!! :-D

Pretty amazing. This guy knows what to do with his spare time.

This is an incredible piece of work, but it's more of a recreation-of-a-museum recreation than a recreation-from-real-life. Even the linoleum mimics the glazed brown brick floors seen in indoor "heritage town" exhibits in museums, particularly during the 70s and 80's, which probably corresponds to when he actually saw them. This alone makes the work all the more fascinating - he hasn't recreated the past, he's recreated a RECREATION of the past. There's something meta in all of this . . .

sure its all good but seems creepy plus nigga get out of the past u living in the past literaly!!! live in the present!!!

Great Basement - (It's Dale)

What a wonderful way to display keepsakes and carry out your creative ideas! I especially love how John incorporated his shop into the diorama. A lot of us dream about doing a large-scale project. He actually went and did it. This is museum-quality stuff. I recently visited the Peterson Automotive Museum. This stands up very favorably to their "History of the Automobile" main street diorama!

A work of art. GREAT !!!!!
