Guard 2: Hey....
This is getting pinned for remembering that little detail!
@@HerbOMatic one of my favorite movies. Don't think I want to know how many times I've watched it.
I have found, more and more, that people who get Python references are people of higher quality.
@@HerbOMatic those Yellowed pages d have a great use ... BBQ fire lighter helper ;) ... nd while being used for that they make excellent wedges for leveling uneven things ;)
About time! I’m pretty sure we are all addicted to this series now 💀
I gotta push more videos before people try and recover from their addictions! Thanks Paul!
What this guy said... gimme more
That was a furniture history lesson. 40’s to the 80’s
Sure, I could be watching Amazon’s one billion dollar production “Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power”, but instead I watched guys cleaning out a bomb shelter. And I don’t regret a thing!
Your twist on the Holy Grail is proof of your good upbringing and your genius.
The "draw me Jack" part made me cry laughing. Brilliant!
I worked with a old guy doing construction and we'd work on older homes and fix a lot of termite damage. Sometimes there would be a whole wall eaten up, just termite dust, except one stud would still be standing completely untouched by the termites. I asked one time why they didn't eat that particular one and the old dude just said "some are tastier than others". I remembered that story when you mentioned some furniture got eaten and some didn't.
I noticed one chair had a label that said "chemically treated" and it wasn't eaten. Maybe that's a reason why some didn't get chomped on too. Health-conscious termites.
I bet that one board was green treated.
I can imagine the comet's tail of dust coming off of your trailer on the way to the dump 🤣
Ok guys,. I think we can all agree on the following rule;
Repeat after me... " There shall be absolutely NO WOOD permitted in the bomb shelter henceforth !!!! "
Any objections?
If so, you'll be locked out of the bomb shelter when the time comes! 😁
The Mrs. had a good point... It's a wonder there was anything left besides the metal by the time you got to the dump. Absolutely no integrity to what was once wood. Yikes!
With that high humidity, you need a good sized dehumidifier or mini-split air conditioner just to bring down that level of dampness.
By the way, as far as the heat... You should find a way to insulate that steel cover - like some of that white coating they use as spray for bed liner in truck beds.
I see also that you haven't yet added your hooks on the wall with your emergency escape ladder.
A word of warning ⚠️
Be extremely careful with those old tanks!!! If with all that humidity and stuff, those bolts may be as corroded as the wood was rotted! You don't need those damn things falling on you, that would be a really bad day! 🤕
Once you do get those down and out, you should probably rip out all those dry wall or whatever wallboard that is.
I guess what I am saying is; looks like you should blow everything out to the concrete and clean, clean, clean and the rebuild everything.
Going to be interesting (and messy) to blow out all the feed through holes too for the electric, plumbing, etc.
You talked about the sewer lines. Depending on when they put those in and your elevation. You could have city sewer lines down 12 to 15 feet up there. Check with your city wastewater and ask what they have on file for them. If they aren't that deep, you probably have a macerator pump some place in there that grinds up the solids then uses a bunch of water to pump it up to level. That's what the Air Force did with the ICBM Sites.
Good luck.
I've got to get climate control in there stat, plus Termidor!
There was a couch with a steel frame....my chrome pits just sitting in my garage but that chrome looked OK. I think it's not so bad
Shop vac and an air hose.
I literally have never watched a video, but I just stopped by to say that intro made me LOL
Secondary Reply: I was surprised that even in Arizona the below ground (at least earth sheltered) temp gets into the 90s. Maybe if you painted the steel surface hatch with highly reflective Rust-Oleum or tented and shaded it, it might lower the temp a few degrees. If that works you might seal and insulate the hatch and the shelter doorway too. If isn’t possible just install a solar powered exhaust vent in the entrance space. It would probably take several days to notice any, if any, drop in temp because of the heat holding capacity of the enormous concrete mass. As you can see I’m heavily invested in your project. Wish I was your neighbor!
Definitely need to get some fresh breathable Air down there.Yea.
It is not far enough below ground.
Yes, thats how most commercial sewing machines worked for decades with that clutch system. Nowdays, they use servo motors so you can vary the speed on the fly.
Thanks Mike, I thought it was an overly heavy duty base for home use. Plus it wasn't ornamental at all! I may do a project with it later.
Props to the DJ mixing the soundtrack
My best guess is Bomb Shelter Squirrel (sounds like a good cartoon character name!) wanted to build a fireplace or perhaps a nice natural stone patio from those pebbles. Maybe both!!!
A dirty wife in yoga pants. This channel is starting to push the PG limit. LOL Love the series and that you two work so well together. You got a keeper there. Not many women react well to being taken down into the bomb shelter. Normally they get cops involved. :) Keep having fun together and we will keep watching!
She is a good sport! On one of our first dates she told me she has a fear of being buried alive and cliff side roads so the next week I took her on a 4x4 trail up to a mine that we snuck in and explored. Thanks Ken!
@@HerbOMatic hahaha
@@HerbOMatic Take her on Schofield pass in Colorado.
Just seeing all that old furniture makes me want to rewatch boogie nights lol
Loving the monty python homage!
They copied my intro and taunted me a second time.
2:08 I love that backup camera on my new truck
Chuck everything... If one termite gets in your shed, it ain't worth it!
Love the videos ❤️🇦🇺
I left the furniture I wanted to keep down there, everything else went straight to the dump. I'm ordering some Termidor to get those suckas! Thanks Martin!
in the old days, used to be a product called “Cloradane”, extremely effective at killing termites, so of course it’s now banned 😳
Those BRIGHT WHITE stockings really made those blue shorts POP at the dump!! But I like the slow reveal from behind the furniture... 32:55 lol
What stockings?
The intro got me good, I was laughing my butt off waiting for the "Ha ha!"
You knew that was coming, lol, glad some people still know Python after 50 years!
I just wanted to take a moment and thank you both for making me laugh so many times through the series...the double booty music echo was perfect.
You're the first one to catch that!
That Monty Python reference at the beginning was beautiful!
Thanks Nick, it was the wife's idea!
I enjoy your sense of humor
Thanks Rusty!
That sofa is a "snap, crackle, pop" couch 😆
To be honest, I would not keep anything down there. Get rid of all of it clean the ceiling and walls before the floor. Buy new and mak it what you want. Don't forget to replace that entry door. Metal door preferably
Nice of the termites to lighten the load for you. Your dogs are awesome btw!
Thanks, they keep my wife, me, and my stuff safe, they mean the world to me!
@@HerbOMatic "C'mon, Mom!! Play tug-of-war with me using this spiky death stick!!!" 😋
Since I did see anyone address your squirrel question about the little stones, I found this on the internet. "Gray Squirrels are scatter food-hoarders, caching food items in a wide variety of sites. When squirrel populations become dense and/or when food becomes scarce, the pilfering of caches by other squirrels becomes a problem. Caching stones, pebbles or other items may be an attempt to confuse/foil potential pilferers."
That is one of those therapy chair things from back then
Your elevator music is superb sir. Good work with all the rear ends in this video.
I was missing the old "Girl From Ipanema", the traditional elevator musak. ;)
ah a very nice touch there, a reference to the famous Monty Python and the Holy Grail
What's Monty Python? I made all this up myself. Anyway in the next video I have an idea where there is a deadly monster but it turns out to be a little white rabbit. Then it turns out the rabbit IS deadly. What do you think?
@@HerbOMatic RUN AWAYYYYYY , run awaaaay
I'm thinking you might need one of those collapsible ladders down there for a back up I would hate to be stuck down there looks hot.
Seems easy enough to climb the elevator frame.
I keep seeing these comments regarding getting stuck if the power goes out. Is it me or is everybody forgetting that that winch originally had a hand-crank? Even if the power goes out it wouldn't be hard to swap it over to hand power. All he needs to do is keep some tools down there for that purpose if necessary. Or simply climbing the lift itself like a ladder. In all honesty I would be more concerned with the door getting stuck in the event of a heavy storm like knocking a tree down or something. But in that case I would also think about installing a hand-cranked opener with a detachable handle on multiplier pulleys that could force a heavy load to open the door if something like that would happen. It wouldn't inhibit the use of the door but would allow the force needed to force that door open if necessary by simply putting the handle on and turning it. People forget the power of pulley systems and cables when there is no power.
Nice to see you guy getting down and dirty to some classical music by Strauss. Ok so the termites buggered up the chair's but look on the bright side they were a lot lighter to get out, by the way I hope you treat the trailer deck with anti termite spray. Go to see you guys back as you always give me a good laugh. Gary 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thanks Gary, it's 108 degrees outside I don't think they will survive on the trailer in direct sunlight.
Oh you guys! You're cracking me up! I love you guys. Just promise me you'll finish this thing before I die because I want to see what you want to see! BTW I can't really say who I am or what I know but the construction on the elevator was awesome!
I hope you live forever!
Don't take forever! :-) from when I saw initially I give you about a year that it's livable. I'm reading up on Bushcraft and I'm kind of a survivalist and a comfortable place to go if something goes down like the zombie apocalypse. :-) LOL
You know a channel is your kind of funny when the video starts off with a Python-esque sketch.
What's Python?, I made all that up, anyways, in my next video the wife is going to cut off my arm and I'm going to say 'tis a flesh wound'. Does that sound like a good skit?
@@HerbOMatic :)
The rear end music is hilarious! I can't help but chuckle every time.
I got tired of editing out all the butts so I just added music!
good evening Herb-O-Matic watching from the Philippines I'm addicted to your series now☺☺☺
This is great! I am so glad you're fixing this shelter up and not allowing it to rot into complete disrepair!
That's the plan! It's a work in progress!
@@HerbOMatic all shelters are! Mine took about five years to get even remotely finished, and yet I still have more that I want to get done. Say hello to those beautiful Arizona sunrises and sunsets for me! I do miss that from my short time I lived there.
Also, put folding metal and plastic picnic tables and chairs down there to prevent attracting termites. I used the same 3M mask, as did my wife when we were building out shelter.
Well that was the craziest intro yet.
The hairy looking filler in the arm of that chair you were asking about is Horse Hair..They used to use it to upholstery furniture. Another great video 🙂👍
~~God Bless~~
Maybe the squirrel had all those rocks to throw at intruders trying to steal his oranges.
Her entrance was fabulous.
She's great, thanks Joanie!
Opening sequence: Masterful! "ha-HA! " Hats off to you both. Belly laugh
Thank David! I didn't find any grails holy or otherwise
OMG, Your Photo Shoot was Killing Me!!😂🤣
Thanks Cheryl, I'm married though...
@@HerbOMatic,Hahahahaha. I'm aware, lol
LMAO. You've over shot that hitch ball so many times you've beaten the plate to hell.
No more photo radar tickets!
Great opening Had to pause the video and laugh.
You should put 2 old car tires chained together on the trailer floor. Use a long chain that reaches well past end of trailer. Then load trash on top of tires and floor. When you get to dump, ask equipment operator to pull your long chain. In my experience, they always go for it. Now relax and see how fast you get your load off. There may be a little left for you to clean up afterwards but really no big deal. Good luck at the dump!
Hi there guys I just saw your channel for the first time today, thanks for this great video. U ASKED about the black stuff on the floor near what was left of a chair. They used to pad the chairs and coutches with 🐎 horse hair, & that is what it looks like as far as I could tell. Good job guys keep up the good work.
Glad to see you back. Was missing you 2. Keep them coming.
Might I make a suggestion. You have a single point of failure on your elevator. If the motor or the breaker pops, you are stuck down stairs. You could add some horizontal braces in your elevator to be used as steps. Also, with an Arduino, you could automate the lift of the elevator when the access is fully opened and have a button to bring the elevator all the way down and all the way up in parallel to your current control. You would also have to add an emergency stop button. That would be too cool.
What an awesome intro, loved the fast pace action XD
you just completed my birthday today with a new video. Thanks.
Happy birthday! Glad it came in clutch.
23:20 wow, that folds up really nicely
Gary, it really lived up to the hype. Bed folds, then the whole couch folds, then you put it in your pocket.
@@HerbOMatic They turned it from wood into paper. Folding paper.
The booty music on the gecko tail...magnificent detail!
The wife's idea, She's pretty dang funny!
I made that comment 40 seconds into the video but I have to pause to do other things in life but I'm going to watch his whole thing before I go to bed but I don't think I am able to go to sleep if you guys keep this stuff up. :-) LOL you two are great
Hope you guys are checking for lost valuables in the couches and chairs I used to clean abandoned houses and we found so many beautiful things lost in the cracks
Holy cow, I didn't even think of that! I already took half of it to the dump!
@@HerbOMatic ya we found wallets pocket knifes ect all kinds of stuff
@@HerbOMatic are you from Chicago? Harry Carry died years ago man nobody says holy cow anymore lol except you and me
@@HerbOMatic to the dump sounds like a good port o potty name
A nice homage to Monty Python at the beginning 😃👍
We need more of this series lol
I'm working on it, I'm working on it! Thanks Micky!
@@HerbOMatic lol no worries actual first time I've seen the damage termites have done . Its crazy how they destroyed everything.
Hey!!! I want that old chase lounge! Our family upholstery has been in business since 1967.
That was a daring and heroic opening in your own particular idiom!
Wife's idea, she's a funny one for sure!
It's most likely horse hair, tail and main, specifically. Great man cave.👍👷
The titanic reference scene was so funny. I haven’t laughed like that in a while.
Thanks. Keep the videos coming.
I'm trying! Dang job in the way of getting this job going!
I liked the Monty Python Omage at the beginning
That truck has all the right trailering dents.
It's custom, custom dented? Thanks Myitbos
was looking at that plate with all the trailer connecting by braille marks... Mine doesn't look much better
You should paint it all with swimming pool paint. That will seal the concrete and keep it water proof. White will help reflect any light down there.
I so want to see this finished, stocked, and furnished
I'm loving this series of videos. Keep up the good work
Some of those chair were really cool. Termites killed the mood!!!!! Yet crushing them was worth the wait!
I literally just finished watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail before starting this video. LOL good stuff.
Good choice!
You two are doing a fantastic job with the clean up.. And I do absolutely agree with other commenters about completely clearing out everything, including the water tanks.. What you didn't show was, is there termite damage to the tank holder area.. That's a no bueno right there..
And the bum shots with the music, I thought those were a one off..🤣🤣
Loves me some yoga butt..
Thanks Boyd, how did you know I did yoga? I gotta rip out the tank area in later episodes.
@@HerbOMatic
🤣😂🤣😂Was actually speaking about the wifey.. lmao....
And cool, Can't wait for the next episode.. Thanx Herb..
Please keep the videos coming.
You make everything look so much harder than it is.
I love it. Thanks for the video.
When you think the hoarders that packed it all in there had to carry it all down the stairs by hand.
Like peasants! AND they couldn't fold it up to get it down there!
They probably laid plywood over the stair treads and just slid it down to some poor schmucks in the bunker lol how I moved a lot of stuff years ago when the elevators in my old apartment building suddenly needed "maintenance"
Happy Hour at the Bomb Shelter Bar. Serving Termiteritas, Old Squirrel 🐿 fashioneds and Cockroach Cosmos. Can’t wait !!! Cheers
Seriously, the bar concept is genius. Nothing like a private speak easy. Love your videos. Y’all rock
With as much termite damage as there was on some of that stuff I would take everything down there to the dump. Only metal, bathroom porcelain stuff, and concrete can stay. After that, spray everything with a solution of boric acid.
The titanic reference actually made me think more of Mark Rober's squirrel maze video... which ties in too.
I'll have to check that out next time I'm on a TH-cam squirrel binge!
I was glad to see your video up. Here's to another successful series project!
Thanks Jacob!
Hilarious edit, the music! Oh the humor! I love it!
Nice work guys. Keep them coming.
I love your sense of humor 😉
Thanks John!
I like the way u focused on your wife’s you know than showed your droopy draws equality brother nice 👍
I was laughing so hard at the butt music. I just found your channel and am certainly subscribed now. It looks like you and you wife have a really fun relationship.
Finally! You need to upload videos more frequently.
I really do, I hope to make this my job eventually but it's a catch 22 since I need to work my job still!
@@HerbOMatic good luck. Your videos are fun, interesting and your skills are great. God bless
HOW KILLER!! Glad you guys are doing this project!!!!
Iam sure the two of you enjoyed showering together. Cleaning off all the termite dust etc.
That light in the bathroom is called a jam jar light.
When you remove the toilet. Have everything ready to seal the pipe. To prevent sewer gas or something with legs to climb out.
Can't wait to see how it will look after pressure wash.
That hot elevator action scene was really moving! ;) Awesome job with cleanout! Thanks for sharing.
Omfg...the apple spittle on the wife coming up from shelter had me almost fired at work from laughing so hard..hahahahahahaha
Videos like this are really interesting. We don't have basements or bomb shelters much in Australia - I only know of one home in Sydney that has one. I'd love to walk into a place and find a heap of old crap that was long forgotten.
Make that a somewhat cozy air bnb I bet you'd get booked up months out.
Love your sense of humor...its like an 8yr old boy...which most of us men are.
My favourite series
Thanks, it's weird that there is 'favorite' in the US and 'favourite' everywhere else where are you from?
I really hope you make it a real functional bunker. I see a bathroom in the corner, that would be awesome to have a space like that.
Bar/Bunker
@@HerbOMatic Awesome. Can't wait to see it.
Cool stuff can't wait for the finished product of the bunker
Great seeing a new video! Looking forward to the next. :)
Thanks Matt, can I call you Matt?
Eagerly awaited and you didn't disappoint. Hilarious!
Keep 'em coming you wacky, handy fella you!
Thanks Bryan, I'm working on it!
A little termite damage and it makes you look super strong
It really does! Better than P90X and all that hard stuff! I should sell termites to all those Karate board smashing channels. Thanks Fang!
So Glad you're back!
The vintage Hickory Chair Co chairs can be pretty valuable when they’re complete. Some are in the $300-$1000 range.
Our remaining ones are pretty rough!
That couch at 21:40 is so cool looking and i bet a film studio would like it for a vintage scene
I just discovered you guys and have had many ROFL moments!! Love it! Have saved the Christmas ideas for my grown sons' presents this year. Am looking forward to bingeing your videos!
Me to
