Last update on here as next one is a main channel video, the bigger this room gets the more excited i get but what part are you guys most excited about. Also what do you get if you cross a weeble and a van........coming soon!!
When you first started the tunnel project I never thought it would be as big as this but it is and it is AWESOME. The stuff of boyhood dreams, love your work Colin 😊
You joke about how many times you use contractor's names, but i appreciate it and think it's really good that you do. Worth recognizing good workers doing a good job.
This is surely too late for Colin but for anyone else. 1. The plastic helps to prevent the soil drawing the water out of the concrete and affecting it strength. (concrete doesn't 'dry' it 'sets' and moisture is important in that process) 2. When vibrating concrete the vibrator should be inserted vertically to ensure air bubbles can rise to the surface (someones mother is going to read this sentence and take it in the wrong way) 3. When you cast new concrete against set concrete you want to make the surface as rough as possible. Concrete isn't sticky without interlocking textures it doesn't bond very well. 4. When you cast new concrete against set concrete wet down the surface a little bit (see point 1) 5. You can buy plastic spacers that will help make sure you reinforcement stays in the right place without creating a conductive path to the surface. 6. Screwing your plastic into the ground is an excellent solution to fixing it to a vertical surface. (10 internet points Colin)
Only the decent quality ones are actually any good. Plenty of cheapo ones out there where the handles snap as soon as you put a speck of dust in them. (Get the ones with the chunkiest handles possible- they won't let you down)
Stop apologising for paint drying, rebar, whatever dude. We’re down there with you, laying down every brush stroke, making every cut, helping you sweep up. You’re an inspiration. You mad f**k. 😘
We're here watching you dig and weld and hand paint steel because we refuse to watch terribly edited crafstmen on the broken clock. When we watch a craftstman apply that craft, we're f'n comparing ourselves to that craftsman and having to make calculations based on time compression and editing makes that near impossible. I can't operate a JCB like Tom or you, but I can dig out and fill in a hole without losing a limb. I can't operate a welder like you, but I can attach two peices of steel without setting myself on fire. And I still have all of my fingers and toes.

You showing love to the concrete shoot, warms my heart. This is what community is about. You had the means to fix "even if temporary " something for someone and you did it. So amazing.

I appreciate the love for onShape. We switched to it for the high school robotics team I coach, and it was game changing being able to CAD from anywhere, not just a specific set of school computers. Heck, the kids can even pull up models on their Chromebooks. And as mentioned, it's free for education or hobbyists!
Was the same for our team as well. Started off using the included Solidworks license FIRST gives us and synced everyone up with GrabCAD, but that led to constant problems with things being overwritten and making sure everyone has it installed and needing a powerful enough computer to run solidworks. We even had 2 seasons where this one student's computer kept syncing an empty library to GrabCAD and it erased everyone's progress multiple times. Thank God for rollbacks at the time, but didn't save everything. Onshape has been a godsend, I can even CAD in the middle of the day on a cheap Chromebook. Started using it as my main CAD software when the team switched 3 years ago. I'm not able to help out right now, but still have love for my team. What district are you guys in? We're in the Chesapeake district
Really enjoy the more personal/vloggy approach these second channel videos present, especially hearing your thought process as you go. It makes me feel a lot better about all the mistakes and "wasted hours" in my own projects haha
I agree with your engineer about stressing over the double beams. A giant opening means there's no "per square" load distribution, it's instead all heavily loaded in one spot. This will cause the concrete to crack in just under a year, then water will seep in, the rebar will rust (Consider getting carbon/glass fibre rebar, 100% waterproof forever :) ) and then it will start crumbling within 20-30 years, making it a maintenance nightmare and the government won't want to waste resources keeping up on the decay. Also, consider the forces for the lift, you need a pretty thick foundation, or the long stick with a huge weight on top of it (when elevator is top-most) - it will cause a LOT of tilting stress on the slab and will cause damage to it as well. It's not like working with wood where things can stay springy. Steel and concrete means nothing should be allowed to move.
@@Real_Moon-Moon permanent bananaaa! That's the problem with open spans. You can't just slap infinite concrete and steel beams. Hope the two beams don't overload.

One of the best ever advertisement for a company because it was so integrated into the video. I do not usually watch the ads but this one was worth every second watching it. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 if you fast forward through it, your loss. Now go back and watch it.
My only concern with the sponsor is that "The cloud is just someone else's computer". They would have to strongly demonstrate with legal agreements and over time that not only does Onshape not "borrow" your work but they can keep things secure enough that others can't "borrow" you work either.
Hi Colin, right now I'm in the middle of DIY country house and what i learn it's that black plastic membrane prevent concrete to dry to fast. It keeps moisture. If moisture sink to the ground the concrete dry to fast and it may crack.
thanks Colin , you inspired me to dig my own bunker in the yard.. Been digging for 6 days , im about 6 feet deep , and just doing a small bit per day. Its gonna be a simple room , big enough to hang out in , my 6 yr old is excited. UPDATE ITS NOW COMPLETE WITH A TV , LIGHTING , A FAN , ETC.. its small and fun for the kid.. the room is only about 5 by 5 by 4 .. standing room for kids , i have to crouch. Some details , I dug for 30 days straight , i moved an estimated 25000 lbs of soil ( moving the soil from the hole 2 times ) Im just wrapping up now and its been about 44 days .. August was bad here in Texas, so it was pure misery for most of the 30 days . I went through 2 pairs of gloves from new to shredded. My neighbors were shocked to see the sheer size and depth of the hole , most people never dig 8 feet down in their backyard , and certainly not with a shovel. If i were to do it again , id only start if i had a small excavator
@@the_retag yea, the top layer of soil on the roof will only be about 6 -8inches, as the weight fluctuates dramatically in ground soil depending on moisture.. There will be zero chance of a dangerous cave in , and it will have an electric fan for cross ventilation.
@@airgunningyupit doesn't need to cave from overburden... It is more likely going to be side slope failure. Trenches are hella dangerous. Lay in shoring as you go!
Just get the weldable primer. Comes in black or gray, and you don’t have to sand it or anything. It’s literally stainless steel paint. It’s fantastic. Great for coating something and stopping rust, and then you can weld it without grinding it.
Colin is amzing, it has sparked an idea I've had for years. I might not have all the cool tools, knowledge & help? But I believe this improvement I'm building proves to anyone with basic diy skills you can build cool stuff! if you picture an idea in your head build it! blue prints in your mind a vision of what it could look like.... & yes if you're wondering what I'm building first video out soon! the goal is 100mph 🏁
Colin I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you when you use hearing protection and lung protection. I think you are being a good influence on people by taking those two things seriously, especially since a lot of people do not take them as seriously as other types of PPE. I think it sends a really good message when you have a reputation for being a crazy little gremlin doing all these crazy things with just the safety tie but you take things seriously when they are important.
I was wondering if it might actually be easier at this point to almost lower one of those smaller skid steers or excavators into the hole. You can even get a mobile conveyor that you could dump the dirt into and it could drop it straight into a waiting truck for removal. This could allow you to do a big part of the build in a short amount of time without having to do as much manual digging. A skid steer could also let you spread out any aggregate you would need for a level concrete pad for the lifting equipment to be mounted too. This would in turn eliminate the issue with blind digging and the worry about the excavator collapsing the wall it is working above. Then when the garage is finished you could just raise the small skid steer/excavator out on the lift as a test run before you move your car. P.S. - They do make jack hammer attachments for this equipment as well
I think you would be stuck with a walk behind skid steer. The weight of machines is surprising. Mini excavators are already a 1,000 pounds (at least) over a delorean. There might be a model that is lighter, which would work.
Colin, for next time you pour a bunch of paint on the floor... Spread it with a scraper. Sounds mad, but it'll be done in no time. Love how it turned out, it's looking real classy now, even after the tomb lambed roof.
Maybe you’ve mentioned it before but don’t forget you will need a floor drain. I don’t think you’ll be able (or want to) make sure the car is always dry when you lower it down. A simple sump pump would be an easy solution.
Not gone lie, this was one of the first promotions I didn't skip in a video. Onshape looks really impressive, especially the AR mode. Chris Bibby is such a good name, its just so much fun to say.
Been using it for 3 years after my robotics team switched to it. Absolute godsend of a program. Can even use it on a cheap Chromebook because it's cloud based. The models it exports are high quality too
Onshape is knockoff of Solidworks as it was created by the original Solidworks programmer. While nice for free, they lock your data and assume it is their files as it is on their servers. You do not own it, they do.
I literally check every single day to see if you’ve uploaded! You’re the only person I watch on here man. Keep it up! You’re an inspiration and an absolute blessing 💯
I think the way you’re managing the content is admirable. I’m literally itching for the main channel’s videos after watching these. Keep up the good work 👍🏻💪🏻
I like most of your viewers watch both videos it’s the behind the scenes on this channel and it really shows what you do to make the “main channel” videos. Now the main channel videos are the polished production that show a little bit of everything with some of the work as examples. Even when the same images are used in both they are being viewed in two totally different ways and context, that right there is what one might call great storytelling. Can’t wait till the next main tunnel video but I am always happy with every video upload. Great video and keep up the great content.
Have you thought about setting up a camera or two for Tom and running video up to his cab? With how precise Tom has been I bet he would be able to dig out the next section via video. Also my guess is the rebar cutter is probably pretty easy to convert over from 120v to 220v with a transformer swap out. Might be an interesting video at some point in the future.
There isn't a transformer inside the tool, he'd have to change the motor windings, which would be super hard. He can just buy a 120 volt extension cord so he doesn't have to carry the xformer around.
Seeing the Delorean next to the exposed rock reminds me of the third part of Back to the Future where it's buried in the mine! Can't wait to see this project completed!
dude i love watching your videos and just now ive thought HOW MUCH its gon increase the house value id love for an actual number that was added after this awsome operation ❤😊
You probably thought of this but in case not: if your house is still settling slightly having the concrete hold it up on only one side might be bad... one side stays where it is, the rest keeps slightly sinking. The engineers trying to "fix" the Millennium tower in San Francisco messed this up, they drove piles on only one side and the thing is still settling. Obviously a different scale, but might still apply to you.
My mother’s house did this. Party wall and front wall were solid. Over 50 years, the back $ side wall sank. Slow enough so no cracked mortar so insurance were not interested.
Fair point. But; It looks like less than 1m of firm british dry crust clay. Being used to settlements in the sloppy mess of west sweden clay I wouldn't be too worried here.
Colin, You are definitely interesting to watch. I really appreciate learning a thing or two while watching as well!! I think it is super interesting that most guys have the same dreams. I always wanted to build stuff like that. Excellent job!!
How cool is that?! Since Monday, I have been lying on the couch, fighting whatever this round of covid has in store for me, while watching one TH-cam video after the other. Yesterday morning I had found your 2.5h video of the secret tunnel built and was hooked right away. Watched the whole thing! Then I was excited to see that the garage build had started already and by the end of the day, I had finished all those updates as well. I told my wife that I found that cool guy on TH-cam with these crazy underground projects, but I'm all caught up now and I'll probably have to wait a few weeks for a new update to be released. And what shall I say... Just sat down for breakfast and there it is: A brand new video. How exciting! 👏🏻👏🏻😎
Just wanted to chime in, very few people have ever inspired me to reach further in my personal journey, but your videos have definitely inspired me to push my own boundaries and tackle bigger projects outside my comfort zone and I appreciate that you have inspired a lot of us to dream bigger. Thats a rare thing in this world, and at least I appreciate the inspiration. Cheers.
Your talking to yourself about the status of the project and your mistakes makes all of us who do projects, and talk to themselves throughout, feel better. Keep up the great vids! LOVE the project.
Nice one Colin, like you mantioned before, this is biggest DIY project worldwide, madness. You made me realize, its way easier to just dig tunnel first, then build house, but all fun would be missing haha.
Hi Colin, Great stuff as usual but I noticed that You were NOT wearing safety glasses when using the grinder and this of course is not a problem until You happen to get a Hot spark stuck to Your eyeball then have to go and get it scraped off, I speak from experience here even though I was wearing said safety gear at the time so Please take care Mate.
yep, and its not it being in there that hurts that much, just a sting, its when it starts to rust 3 hours later and you have 2 nurses holding you down while a doctor pokes a needle in your eye to get it out.
When I needed to cover a large horizontal surface with a thick paint, my best tools were a large brush and a drywall trowel. Happy that the project is coming along nicely and that you're still enthusiastic about it as ever :D
Yes, awesome. Thanks, Collin, for noticing and reading my comment about your old mans arms in the previous video. It did look way younger now 😂. Yes, it was probably just the lighting and all the dust and dirt from the dig, making it look like that. They look normal (younger) now 😁.
The plastic helps the concrete cure properly. It stops moisture being drawn out of the concrete by existing ground. I’m sure you are over structured but it might reduce cracking . Best of luck
Sam Pilgrim seems like the perfect candidate, to ride the wall of death. And you two seem like a perfect pair to do dangerous stuff. I hope that will happen.
Please consider a sump pit and pump in the lowest part of your tunnel system. It will help deal with any water ingress that will end up behind the walls/concrete in case of a crazy floods. ❤ The videos!
If you've got a concrete wall propping up one side of the old house there, and the clay elsewhere gets compressed or shifts any, mightn't that compromise the house a little bit?
I just came away from a bunker video in the US and they were using carbon fiber rebar, it's meant to last 100 years+ and seven times stronger - maybe worth thinking about for your next build. Love this series.
Advice I received when I was a lad from an old chap. “Remember boy, you never see rust under a paint run” It may play havoc with your OCD but he was right!👍😊
When you were showing your hands my wife a nurse saw your veins were wonderful and you were very hydrated and that you would be a great patient to draw blood lol underground garage is coming out awesome
Col! Im not an engineer, I'll never dig a tunnel and I don't own any 110V kit; thing is I'm absolutely totally invested in your projects! Keep it coming big fella! ✊🏼
I don’t know much about the geology of your region aside from what you’ve mentioned in previous videos, but the house foundation being underlayed partially by concrete is not necessarily a good thing. Foundations are best supported by a uniform bearing material especially in clays with high expansion factors. As the ground expands and contracts with moisture, you want the foundation to move uniformly with the ground supporting it. If your foundation is on dense bedrock on one side with minimal movement and expansive clay on the other side it could increase the likelihood of uneven settlement on the softer side, or cracking of the slab on grade as one side bears more weight than the other creating shear forces in the middle of the slab foundation. You’re probably okay, just food for thought from someone with extensive earthwork and foundation experience
blah blah blah mesotheleoma, accident injury lawyer, hmm, what other good keywords can we populate here to get this video the most profitable ad view rates? Just commenting to tickle the algorithm.
this channel is awesome. you still get to see what colin is up to while you wait for the next main channel vid. they are super entertaining even with the very minimal editing and slow progress, its cool to see a bit more of what actually goes into a massive project like this. loving the content
I just seen an amazing tip for pouring concrete!! The last chute extension you put on flip it so its points downwards and flopping. When the concrete pours down the chute it will hit the last chute and force it to go downwards!!
My eyes winced and cried when I saw you cutting the rebar with no safety goggles. Took a piece of chipped smoldering metal to the eyebrow about a quarter inch from my eye once and always wore safety goggles ever since 😅 Stay safe Colin!
Question: You now have the front only of your house on effectively a massive concrete pier, while the rest is not. Will this lead to uneven movement as clay expands and contracts with varying moisture levels? Will this lead to house cracking?
Hi Colin, you might think this is a bit of a naff idea, but I'd love to see a breakdown of how this project has affected the value of your property (before & after). It's great to see progress, keep up the good work! 😄👍
Man, im so excited for this. Almost like its mine lol. I wish. Anyway, i was thinking, since you can build anything, why not a mobile conveyor belt. So you just have to put the rock/dirt on it and let it ride up? Put little like paddles on the belt so nothing rolls backwards. I think it would save a lot of time and back breaking work. Also it would make for an awesome build video for the main channel. Just a thought, i doubt you'll ever see this, but just incase. Lol Anyway bud, awesome job, stay safe, and im so excited for you. This is an epic build.
fricking love this project, despite having seen 10s (maybe 100s) of hours of footage on it, it never gets dull... or maybe it is dull and I am just a dull man, but hey, suits me! Colin you fabulous barstard, never change! This is interesting, educational and equally bat sh1t crazy... perfect!
Wow, Colin, those walls are thick, man! That's a Thick Boy-love it! As for your hands, I've been subscribed for years and have loved all your content. With the thousands of projects you've done, if you didn't have "man hands" by now, people wouldn't believe you did them yourself. And I have to admit, I'm totally jealous of your Toy Box! lol
Just a thought before you pour the next half. Would you consider installing a drain with a riser to the surface to pump out incase of a flood. I understand it rains in England sometimes. Also I would consider a fire roller type door for the tunnel access. After all your planning on storing a petrol car in there. Cheers
So.. just a thought: Wouldnt the soft ground cause the structure to slowly sink and possibly at a different rate than the bunker thus causing the foundation of the house experience lateral bending stress and eventually break? Hopefully things dont go awry down the line
Hey Colin, concerning the Colin Furze dirt, have you thought about Dirt dyed shirts? You get white shirts with your logo, and the mineing company bit on it, The soak them is water & dirt from the dig, let them hang dry, soak them again it the dirt, and rinse of the excess dirt with a hose & hang dry them again, fold & ship... Hope you like the idea... if you do it, maybe you can send me one to Canada...🙃😉
Man ive watched this whole process and whats baffling me is that its years in the making and still you have the lift to dig out PLUS the tunnel to the other bunker to finish!! Its the gift that keeps on giving. Although i am very eagercto see the end product so please hurry up 😂😂
Colin, you are doing a amazing work mate but you need to leave more steel out from the concrete to splice the next rebar. Will depend the thickness of the steel but at least 400mm out to connect the next rebar otherwise you are creating a week spot on concrete.. Keep with the amazing work

I agree with your engineer about stressing over the double beams. A giant opening means there's no "per square" load distribution, it's instead all heavily loaded in one spot. This will cause the concrete to crack in just under a year, then water will seep in, the rebar will rust (Consider getting carbon/glass fibre rebar, 100% waterproof forever :) ) and then it will start crumbling within 20-30 years, making it a maintenance nightmare and the government won't want to waste resources keeping up on the decay. Also, consider the forces for the lift, you need a pretty thick foundation, or the long stick with a huge weight on top of it (when elevator is top-most) - it will cause a LOT of tilting stress on the slab and will cause damage to it as well. It's not like working with wood where things can stay springy. Steel and concrete means nothing should be allowed to move.

All of Colin Furze's sponser ads are worth watching!
Well put!
Helps that the product is actually good too
@@arbycutter 😁
My only concern with the sponsor is that "The cloud is just someone else's computer".
They would have to strongly demonstrate with legal agreements and over time that not only does Onshape not "borrow" your work but they can keep things secure enough that others can't "borrow" you work either.
Hi Colin, right now I'm in the middle of DIY country house and what i learn it's that black plastic membrane prevent concrete to dry to fast. It keeps moisture. If moisture sink to the ground the concrete dry to fast and it may crack.
It's actually advisable and preferably to spray down green concrete with water. "Wet curing". Even with poly over it.
thanks Colin , you inspired me to dig my own bunker in the yard.. Been digging for 6 days , im about 6 feet deep , and just doing a small bit per day. Its gonna be a simple room , big enough to hang out in , my 6 yr old is excited. UPDATE ITS NOW COMPLETE WITH A TV , LIGHTING , A FAN , ETC.. its small and fun for the kid.. the room is only about 5 by 5 by 4 .. standing room for kids , i have to crouch. Some details , I dug for 30 days straight , i moved an estimated 25000 lbs of soil ( moving the soil from the hole 2 times ) Im just wrapping up now and its been about 44 days .. August was bad here in Texas, so it was pure misery for most of the 30 days . I went through 2 pairs of gloves from new to shredded. My neighbors were shocked to see the sheer size and depth of the hole , most people never dig 8 feet down in their backyard , and certainly not with a shovel. If i were to do it again , id only start if i had a small excavator
Be careful about ventilation and stability
That sounds more like a grave at the moment lol
@@piman13_71 lol , yea, right now its just a hair bigger than a grave ..
@@the_retag yea, the top layer of soil on the roof will only be about 6 -8inches, as the weight fluctuates dramatically in ground soil depending on moisture.. There will be zero chance of a dangerous cave in , and it will have an electric fan for cross ventilation.
@@airgunningyupit doesn't need to cave from overburden... It is more likely going to be side slope failure. Trenches are hella dangerous. Lay in shoring as you go!
Just get the weldable primer. Comes in black or gray, and you don’t have to sand it or anything. It’s literally stainless steel paint. It’s fantastic. Great for coating something and stopping rust, and then you can weld it without grinding it.
Search PA-10 etch primer
Colin is amzing, it has sparked an idea I've had for years. I might not have all the cool tools, knowledge & help? But I believe this improvement I'm building proves to anyone with basic diy skills you can build cool stuff! if you picture an idea in your head build it! blue prints in your mind a vision of what it could look like.... & yes if you're wondering what I'm building first video out soon! the goal is 100mph 🏁
Colin I just wanted to say how much I appreciate you when you use hearing protection and lung protection. I think you are being a good influence on people by taking those two things seriously, especially since a lot of people do not take them as seriously as other types of PPE. I think it sends a really good message when you have a reputation for being a crazy little gremlin doing all these crazy things with just the safety tie but you take things seriously when they are important.
Me sitting here after axing a tree down and cutting it up wearing shorts and tennis shoes as PPE…
Here I was noticing the egregious use of safety squints during the video
What about hand protection?
I was wondering if it might actually be easier at this point to almost lower one of those smaller skid steers or excavators into the hole. You can even get a mobile conveyor that you could dump the dirt into and it could drop it straight into a waiting truck for removal. This could allow you to do a big part of the build in a short amount of time without having to do as much manual digging. A skid steer could also let you spread out any aggregate you would need for a level concrete pad for the lifting equipment to be mounted too. This would in turn eliminate the issue with blind digging and the worry about the excavator collapsing the wall it is working above. Then when the garage is finished you could just raise the small skid steer/excavator out on the lift as a test run before you move your car.
P.S. - They do make jack hammer attachments for this equipment as well
i like that idea.
I think you would be stuck with a walk behind skid steer. The weight of machines is surprising. Mini excavators are already a 1,000 pounds (at least) over a delorean. There might be a model that is lighter, which would work.
DeLorean is 2700 lbs. Mini excavator come in sub 1 ton models. I own a one ton. So anyways it could work...
Colin, for next time you pour a bunch of paint on the floor... Spread it with a scraper. Sounds mad, but it'll be done in no time.
Love how it turned out, it's looking real classy now, even after the tomb lambed roof.
I was going to suggest the exact same, I've got a nice 12" spat that would spread that in no time.
How the hell can you pour a 'bunch' of paint?!
Right! Kind of like how you spread driveway sealer.
Scraper, squeegee on a pole, something similar.
@@DaibhidhBhoAlba Same way you pour floor leveling compound.
Maybe you’ve mentioned it before but don’t forget you will need a floor drain. I don’t think you’ll be able (or want to) make sure the car is always dry when you lower it down. A simple sump pump would be an easy solution.
Not gone lie, this was one of the first promotions I didn't skip in a video. Onshape looks really impressive, especially the AR mode.
Chris Bibby is such a good name, its just so much fun to say.
Same, actually thought "well would have been nice to have a few years ago!" 😜
Bob(b) is always good.
Been using it for 3 years after my robotics team switched to it. Absolute godsend of a program. Can even use it on a cheap Chromebook because it's cloud based. The models it exports are high quality too
Onshape is a great CAD tool. We built and entire MURLIN trebuchet from the ground up with it
Onshape is knockoff of Solidworks as it was created by the original Solidworks programmer. While nice for free, they lock your data and assume it is their files as it is on their servers. You do not own it, they do.
@7:35 for a second I thought that drill was to terminate cheeky mr slug 😂
I literally check every single day to see if you’ve uploaded! You’re the only person I watch on here man. Keep it up! You’re an inspiration and an absolute blessing 💯
Been watching this tunnel since the start. Absolutly insane how far its come.
"... Shut up, Colin, get on with it!" Slap that on a t-shirt. 🤣🤣 I love these rough-and-ready build videos.
I'd buy that shirt!
I think the way you’re managing the content is admirable. I’m literally itching for the main channel’s videos after watching these. Keep up the good work 👍🏻💪🏻
Thanks for making my day less boring for uploading this.
I like most of your viewers watch both videos it’s the behind the scenes on this channel and it really shows what you do to make the “main channel” videos. Now the main channel videos are the polished production that show a little bit of everything with some of the work as examples. Even when the same images are used in both they are being viewed in two totally different ways and context, that right there is what one might call great storytelling.
Can’t wait till the next main tunnel video but I am always happy with every video upload.
Great video and keep up the great content.
I can't stop smiling during Furze videos! Been a fan for a long time, will be till the end :)
Have you thought about setting up a camera or two for Tom and running video up to his cab? With how precise Tom has been I bet he would be able to dig out the next section via video.
Also my guess is the rebar cutter is probably pretty easy to convert over from 120v to 220v with a transformer swap out. Might be an interesting video at some point in the future.
There isn't a transformer inside the tool, he'd have to change the motor windings, which would be super hard.
He can just buy a 120 volt extension cord so he doesn't have to carry the xformer around.
Seeing the Delorean next to the exposed rock reminds me of the third part of Back to the Future where it's buried in the mine! Can't wait to see this project completed!
I'm going to recreate that scene
@@2MuchColinFurzeAnd not in some studio, but in a real dig!
@@2MuchColinFurzeForget the Delorean, you need a Batmobile.
dude i love watching your videos and just now ive thought HOW MUCH its gon increase the house value
id love for an actual number that was added after this awsome operation ❤😊
19:00 - yes, Colin and Sam Pilgrim collab is what we don't deserve, but need so much.
Yes! That would be the best thing ever
That would be the dream
I’ve been wanting a Pilgs/Furze collab for years. Stair set of doom on the bike of springs! 🎉
Oh yea. Sam needs to try the socially distanced bike if it is still around.
You probably thought of this but in case not: if your house is still settling slightly having the concrete hold it up on only one side might be bad... one side stays where it is, the rest keeps slightly sinking. The engineers trying to "fix" the Millennium tower in San Francisco messed this up, they drove piles on only one side and the thing is still settling. Obviously a different scale, but might still apply to you.
Going fully underneath would probably be better… But the ground under the house is solid very dry rock, so I doubt it’ll cause any heaving issues.
My mother’s house did this. Party wall and front wall were solid. Over 50 years, the back $ side wall sank. Slow enough so no cracked mortar so insurance were not interested.
Fair point. But; It looks like less than 1m of firm british dry crust clay. Being used to settlements in the sloppy mess of west sweden clay I wouldn't be too worried here.
Colin, You are definitely interesting to watch. I really appreciate learning a thing or two while watching as well!! I think it is super interesting that most guys have the same dreams. I always wanted to build stuff like that. Excellent job!!
How cool is that?! Since Monday, I have been lying on the couch, fighting whatever this round of covid has in store for me, while watching one TH-cam video after the other. Yesterday morning I had found your 2.5h video of the secret tunnel built and was hooked right away. Watched the whole thing! Then I was excited to see that the garage build had started already and by the end of the day, I had finished all those updates as well. I told my wife that I found that cool guy on TH-cam with these crazy underground projects, but I'm all caught up now and I'll probably have to wait a few weeks for a new update to be released. And what shall I say... Just sat down for breakfast and there it is: A brand new video. How exciting! 👏🏻👏🏻😎
Just wanted to chime in, very few people have ever inspired me to reach further in my personal journey, but your videos have definitely inspired me to push my own boundaries and tackle bigger projects outside my comfort zone and I appreciate that you have inspired a lot of us to dream bigger. Thats a rare thing in this world, and at least I appreciate the inspiration. Cheers.
Your talking to yourself about the status of the project and your mistakes makes all of us who do projects, and talk to themselves throughout, feel better. Keep up the great vids! LOVE the project.
Nice one Colin, like you mantioned before, this is biggest DIY project worldwide, madness.
You made me realize, its way easier to just dig tunnel first, then build house, but all fun would be missing haha.
Hi Colin, Great stuff as usual but I noticed that You were NOT wearing safety glasses when using the grinder and this of course is not a problem until You happen to get a Hot spark stuck to Your eyeball then have to go and get it scraped off, I speak from experience here even though I was wearing said safety gear at the time so Please take care Mate.
yep, and its not it being in there that hurts that much, just a sting, its when it starts to rust 3 hours later and you have 2 nurses holding you down while a doctor pokes a needle in your eye to get it out.
@@starpoint271 Some people have fantasies about two nurses holding them down!
When I needed to cover a large horizontal surface with a thick paint, my best tools were a large brush and a drywall trowel.
Happy that the project is coming along nicely and that you're still enthusiastic about it as ever :D
My son, Barrett, loves it when you get a steel delivery. 😄
22:03 Earmuffs around ya neck while hammering, and on your ears while shoveling the stuff away. Nice one!
I really love these more "unfiltered" videos. Very nice to see the process and all the ramblings
As a very small youtuber, I can only tell you that it's so cool to see a second channel having this many subscribers!
Chris Bibby is my favourite reoccurring character in the Colin Fruze cinematic universe
Yes, awesome.
Thanks, Collin, for noticing and reading my comment about your old mans arms in the previous video. It did look way younger now 😂.
Yes, it was probably just the lighting and all the dust and dirt from the dig, making it look like that. They look normal (younger) now 😁.
It's funny that my comment makes Collin digress 😂
I have been counting down the minutes to 4pm 😂 It's always a good day when Colin uploads a new video.
Fully agree 😂
For me it's 11pm
I know when he uploads it’s gonna be a good day.
It uploaded 11 am in Canada
Colin Furze has me watching paint dry!
Happily lol
@@SomeChristianGuy9I love the smell also. It's a sign of progress.
The plastic helps the concrete cure properly. It stops moisture being drawn out of the concrete by existing ground. I’m sure you are over structured but it might reduce cracking . Best of luck
Plastic under concrete isn't just to stop water seeping up but to make sure it doesn't dry too quickly, by the water draining out before it sets
Wet the area before you pour to help slow the curing process. Not sloppy wet though.
good point
Its all rock its not going to dry out t
@@Bob-o-h4k lol
@@Bob-o-h4k I didn't say he needed it, I was just saying it does more than keep water out, as lot of people think that's it's only purpose
Sam Pilgrim seems like the perfect candidate, to ride the wall of death. And you two seem like a perfect pair to do dangerous stuff. I hope that will happen.
I was coming here to say the same thing. But I figured somebody else had to have said it already. I was right!
Please consider a sump pit and pump in the lowest part of your tunnel system. It will help deal with any water ingress that will end up behind the walls/concrete in case of a crazy floods. ❤ The videos!
I love how the auto generated subtitles say [music] whenever you use a grinder or a leaf blower. Yes it is, TH-cam CC, yes it is.
8:45 colin mate you should drop a mini digger down there. 👌🏼😁
If you've got a concrete wall propping up one side of the old house there, and the clay elsewhere gets compressed or shifts any, mightn't that compromise the house a little bit?
22:59 "By the time I finish this, I'll have it nailed."
That's like looking for something and finding it in the last place you look.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Except it was screwed, not nailed 🤣
@@vikkispenceIt was a good pun but someone screwed it up.
Colin is, the perfect example of a "CREATOR"!! The perfect balance of "DREAMER, ENGINEER AND BUILDER"!!!!
HATS OFF TO YOU, SIR!!!
Chris Bibby loved having his chute welded.
Amazing Job The way this garage just grows.
May you expand it to the Max
17:48 the start of a Bob Ross painting section, perfect
7:34 thought my man just obliterated a slug
I just came away from a bunker video in the US and they were using carbon fiber rebar, it's meant to last 100 years+ and seven times stronger - maybe worth thinking about for your next build. Love this series.
Advice I received when I was a lad from an old chap.
“Remember boy, you never see rust under a paint run”
It may play havoc with your OCD but he was right!👍😊
Fun fact: these rebar cutters are the favorite tool of bicycle thieves since it turns out they work brilliantly on locks as well
Why are you sharing this information publicly?
Not fun
@@typetrie1453The bike thieves know this trick already.
colin, you are an absolute legend! thank you for all the content over the past 14 years!
0:24 Naturally we all use CAD software. I’ve found my people.
was waiting for pour paint on floor then use leaf blower!!
haha why didnt i think of that lol
He already had the attachment for a roller on the blower. Roller-sprayer paint combo!
I would have just used a piece of cardboard like a spatula frosting a cake to spread it.
When you were showing your hands my wife a nurse saw your veins were wonderful and you were very hydrated and that you would be a great patient to draw blood lol underground garage is coming out awesome
looking great in a 42" TV
The amount of times I had to check my phone not knowing if it was a message or the bibby count lol
😂😂😂
Col! Im not an engineer, I'll never dig a tunnel and I don't own any 110V kit; thing is I'm absolutely totally invested in your projects!
Keep it coming big fella!
✊🏼
SECRET marketing campaign for those rubbery tubby buckets 😂.
I don’t know much about the geology of your region aside from what you’ve mentioned in previous videos, but the house foundation being underlayed partially by concrete is not necessarily a good thing. Foundations are best supported by a uniform bearing material especially in clays with high expansion factors. As the ground expands and contracts with moisture, you want the foundation to move uniformly with the ground supporting it. If your foundation is on dense bedrock on one side with minimal movement and expansive clay on the other side it could increase the likelihood of uneven settlement on the softer side, or cracking of the slab on grade as one side bears more weight than the other creating shear forces in the middle of the slab foundation. You’re probably okay, just food for thought from someone with extensive earthwork and foundation experience
I love watching the progress and the process of the build!
blah blah blah mesotheleoma, accident injury lawyer, hmm, what other good keywords can we populate here to get this video the most profitable ad view rates? Just commenting to tickle the algorithm.
No need to be a wank mate
Hi, Colin. At 6:30, you accidentally wrote "DESCRIOTION."
I was literally going to write the same thing lol
No one cares nerd! Go read your books or something!
this channel is awesome. you still get to see what colin is up to while you wait for the next main channel vid. they are super entertaining even with the very minimal editing and slow progress, its cool to see a bit more of what actually goes into a massive project like this. loving the content
Bibby time!

I just seen an amazing tip for pouring concrete!! The last chute extension you put on flip it so its points downwards and flopping. When the concrete pours down the chute it will hit the last chute and force it to go downwards!!
My eyes winced and cried when I saw you cutting the rebar with no safety goggles. Took a piece of chipped smoldering metal to the eyebrow about a quarter inch from my eye once and always wore safety goggles ever since 😅
Stay safe Colin!
18:21 yeah, but it’s _interesting and informative_ *paint* that is getting us all step closer to a fantastic finish to an amazing build!
You must have the most awesome peeps next door to put up with all the noise and comings n goings, they must like you a lot!!
Question: You now have the front only of your house on effectively a massive concrete pier, while the rest is not. Will this lead to uneven movement as clay expands and contracts with varying moisture levels? Will this lead to house cracking?
Hi Colin, you might think this is a bit of a naff idea, but I'd love to see a breakdown of how this project has affected the value of your property (before & after).
It's great to see progress, keep up the good work! 😄👍
Man, im so excited for this. Almost like its mine lol. I wish.
Anyway, i was thinking, since you can build anything, why not a mobile conveyor belt. So you just have to put the rock/dirt on it and let it ride up? Put little like paddles on the belt so nothing rolls backwards. I think it would save a lot of time and back breaking work. Also it would make for an awesome build video for the main channel. Just a thought, i doubt you'll ever see this, but just incase. Lol
Anyway bud, awesome job, stay safe, and im so excited for you. This is an epic build.
fricking love this project, despite having seen 10s (maybe 100s) of hours of footage on it, it never gets dull... or maybe it is dull and I am just a dull man, but hey, suits me! Colin you fabulous barstard, never change! This is interesting, educational and equally bat sh1t crazy... perfect!
Wow, Colin, those walls are thick, man! That's a Thick Boy-love it! As for your hands, I've been subscribed for years and have loved all your content. With the thousands of projects you've done, if you didn't have "man hands" by now, people wouldn't believe you did them yourself. And I have to admit, I'm totally jealous of your Toy Box! lol
Just a thought before you pour the next half. Would you consider installing a drain with a riser to the surface to pump out incase of a flood. I understand it rains in England sometimes. Also I would consider a fire roller type door for the tunnel access. After all your planning on storing a petrol car in there. Cheers
Love this channel far more than the main one. Thank you for being amazing
So.. just a thought:
Wouldnt the soft ground cause the structure to slowly sink and possibly at a different rate than the bunker thus causing the foundation of the house experience lateral bending stress and eventually break?
Hopefully things dont go awry down the line
Hey Colin, concerning the Colin Furze dirt, have you thought about Dirt dyed shirts? You get white shirts with your logo, and the mineing company bit on it, The soak them is water & dirt from the dig, let them hang dry, soak them again it the dirt, and rinse of the excess dirt with a hose & hang dry them again, fold & ship... Hope you like the idea... if you do it, maybe you can send me one to Canada...🙃😉
Man ive watched this whole process and whats baffling me is that its years in the making and still you have the lift to dig out PLUS the tunnel to the other bunker to finish!! Its the gift that keeps on giving. Although i am very eagercto see the end product so please hurry up 😂😂
Colin, you are doing a amazing work mate but you need to leave more steel out from the concrete to splice the next rebar. Will depend the thickness of the steel but at least 400mm out to connect the next rebar otherwise you are creating a week spot on concrete..
Keep with the amazing work
