@@Narinjas I agree. wonder how much it extra it would cost to have those extra protections in place (not so much the 3x bigger and secret tunnels or anything). but having a true bunker more than a man cave.

I have a similar but smaller bunker, 8'x27' 10,000 gallon tank buried about 1999. I've spent several tornado and hurricane warning nights and days there. Once hit by lightning while inside it was a loud bang but I was safe not touching any metal. I can't wait to see this finished as mine so far is just temporary shelter from storms. My best advice from experience is constantly maintain ventilation and low humidity. Mold ruins wood quickly and rust never sleeps.

Omg that's amazing, definitely utilize the under floor space, storage, you can hold a ton of water under there. Just get some type of water containment system, or make some type of system to fit under the floor. You Can also get rain water to run down in the system.

I'm hooked on this! Can't wait to see it finished. I've always said that if I had the money, I'd build my entire house underground like this.

Speaking of Ventilation, have you thought about RADON ? Concrete surrounded Steel bunkers still get radon leaching in through the walls. Positive pressure increase (by using pressure-regulating "blast vales" on the exhaust piping) very much reduces Radon ingress, but MUST be paired with "thru-flowing" ventilation to be effective.

I think he made a mistake permanently affixing the floor structure this early on. Sure you have tons of storage under there, but it isn't going to be much use if it's hard to put large things under there. For one, he's going to need probably several thousand gallons of water storage, both for clean and dirty water (maybe even a third for drinking water). He also needs to find a place for all of the batteries. It would probably be more beneficial to have them outside the living quarters (ie not under the floor) since they will give off a fair bit of heat. Maybe it will work out and it won't make it crazy hot in there... He also needs to figure out what to do with all of the wiring, waste removal, and air circulation. It would have been a lot easier to go ahead and bury all of the conduit prior to full coverage. Those solar panels (or in all actuality mains power from the grid) need to get in there somehow and have a place to mount in the case of the solar panels. Also, waste water is going to be a huge issue for them. Where is it going to go? The will need a lift pump of some sort, and unless they have a septic system, they will need to plumb that into the city sewer, which they probably won't be a huge fan of without significant permitting. They also need to work out ventilation and cooling for in the bunker. Heating is easy. It will always be heated as long as it is in use. People, batteries, and electricity use generate a lot of heat. Having a way to cool it is going to be important. There are some air "powered" geothermal options that may be of some use. However those will require a lot of underground piping which would have been a lot easier to do prior to filling the hole. Also, Where is the exhaust/ventilation system going to be. 2 box fans laying over the hole isn't a a long term solution. I only bring it up because that probably should have been addressed while the pipe was exposed. Probably would have been good to make redundancies for these systems, as in a situation where you need to use the bunker failure of life support isn't an option.

Great job on the video Zack! Thanks for making it. Nice to see Colin Firze get a shoutout here. I've been following his project too.

For water storage in a bunker: I propose the installation of a substantial underground tank, seamlessly integrated with the bunker. To ensure a continuous water flow and prevent stagnation, connect the tank to the city's water supply. From there, channel the water to the main house, creating a significant, dedicated water source within the city water system. In case of an emergency, the city water supply to the tank can be shut off, providing a reliable reservoir of clean, fresh water. The daily water use in the house will naturally keep the water circulating, eliminating concerns about stagnation.

I was thinking something like this as well. Though the cost of installing such a pipe is actually hilariously expensive (we just had our main pipes replaced).

I'm REALLY looking forward to Part 8 + more, it's been an excellent series as always.

I do worry about the fact you welded the floor support to the tube. You will not be able to recoat the outside with sealant as you did earlier, as it was burned away, so there is the risk of rust over time.

Best part for me was the honesty in the end, where you explained the cost being recouped by KZread and merchandise revenue, which may not be applicable to anyone else in the viewing audience. You did a great job of keeping the project well documented and achieving the true goal of funding not a wheelchair. Wish you a great successful happy new year 2024🎉

Any worry about the newly welded supports that hold the floor having compromised the protective paint on the outside of the tube?

I work in IT and you ALWAYS put your electrical/network/wiring up above in case of flooding. If you think it's never going to get flooded that's what we thought too. Our server room got flooded by a burst water pipe and by the time it was shut off all the electricals were jacked. It took us almost a solid month of very long work hours to get everything fixed while we were running on generators with cords running everywhere.

When will you upload other updates about the bunker? 🤞🏼

Thanks for all the transparency. That's the part I like the most. Can't wait to see you build the interior. I expect a lot of cool tech.

Idea to heat air on the way in: Use a loooooong coiled tube buried deep in the ground. Not sure how long it would need to be, but the idea is to allow the air enough time to absorb warmth FROM the ground during the winter and release warmth INTO the ground during the summer. So you are using geothermal heating and cooling.

Might not be perfect but should be able to improve the situation. Insulate under the reservoir to keep the heat moving up vs sinking down underneath

You are the only big channel i consistently see interact with their comment section. Love your videos.

Looks awesome, but I would have used marine ply for the floor instead of OSB which will disintegrate overtime if it gets remotely humid or damp.

So entertaining seeing the bunker come together. Looking forward to the journey and completion.

I hope you use even the crawl space efficiently. either for medical supplies and non-perishable food (vacuum is a plus) or something else really useful.

I appreciate the transparency...Thanks

This continues to be one of my favorite multi-part series on KZread. Love the price breakdown and all the neat camera angles. Keep 'em coming, Zack!

If you enjoy this you'll absolutely love and binge Colin Furze series.

i really love these videos man! You are always doing something that is positive for the whole community and i appreciate that. There are few role models left in todays society but you are definitely one of them in my book!

A regular king size heated blanket on full power pulls 90w from the outlet so you may want to test one see if they heat up enough but would use less than half as much power and no water involved

I Almost cant wait to see the finished Bunker !!! ...

Are you sure about the 90" tv? This is a very light controlled environment, and any damage / wear on the TV would not be viable to replace. An ultra short throw led projector, with a spare under the floor, sounds easier to maintain for extended durable use.

You could use a heat exchanger in the air intake , so you can refrech the air and keep the temps without a big energy loss

I woulda covered it in cement to further improve protection from a shockwave and water. Also would have had a well drilled under where you placed the bunker so you can always have fresh water in an emergency. How are you planning on bringing in fresh filtered air, most good systems are going to run you 10k at minimum? Also what plans do you have for any water that will get into the bunker?

You're so wholesome, it makes my teeth squeak! But seriously, great job, thanks for the journey and hope you will continue to tell us how it's going!

I get these videos in my recommended and I think that I'll just scrub through the video to see what's up but I always end up watching it all. Really great content.

Thank you!

I thought you would have put a septic tank/ water tank and battery under the floor. You could have even made a sewage drainage field at the bottom of the hole. It's coming along nicely 👌

only found you today, this series is excellent! super well thought out.

super awesome! although i wish you could've shown us the way everything is put together inside, like for example air filtration system, and how you are handling the water. i think everything else like TV's and etc that's the minor stuff. are you planning to let us know about these two main things please? thank you

I wonder, didn't the welding of the floor struts to the outer hull burn off the corrosion protection in that places?

Came to ask the same, I wonder if maybe the comparatively short weld time meant it didn’t cause the same level of burn?

Hats off to your planning and execution. Watched all your underground tube make video its quite a journey. You've done a superb job zack bro. You're a perfect engineer 💪

Those small plates, welded to the tube bottom, that's supporting pillars for the floor - I don't remember you show them before, so they were welded now? What about insulation of those spots outside?

Great project! It's amazing. I would like to recommend you to test for Radon gas inside the bunker. just to check on for your health.

As a C6 Quad, you have no clue how fun its been to watch a wheelchair accessible bunker come together. Looking forward to the next episode!

Perfect amount of letting us see the work, and letting us NOT have to live it for too long. Really well done! Thanks.

where are more episodes?? have been waiting for 2 months now. 😥

So much excited to watch your video on finished output of this underground backyard bunker using your untouched redmagic magic 9,hahaha, send it here in Philippines 😁, thank you

just wanted to know if the welding being done in this video is in anyway directly being done to the tube directly as the coating will get removed. The plate at the bottom at 6:24 I don't remember seeing it in previous video.

Who else wants to see if it can withstand a nuclear blast?

It damages at level 6 with deeper grooves at level 7

Oh my lord. Actual gold. Imma need a bucket worth of it for a smaller bunker.

The series of these videos will pay the bunker in less than a month. Congratulations on your bunker Jerry, you deserve it!

Awesome job Jerry! - and im happy you I gave our boy Colin Furze a shout out here in the UK! Love you both 👊

Very invested in this series. Been very fun to watch. Wondering what the elevator will cost.

Just curious...are you worried about ruining the waterproofing membrane on the outside of the tube since you're welding once it's buried? I know that you had to go over the previously welded spots and reapply some waterproofing before it was buried. Love watching this series!

looks like they welded the short floor beams to pre-placed long horizontal beams, not directly to the steel cylinder

Jerry, one option you may consider to put in aground air heater and cooler i.e. if you pull air though a 250mm pipe over 35-40 m in about 15-2m depth you will have a stable temp of the air of about 10-15 °C (excuse my metrics :-) ), If you go for that you should consider a water condensation empty point shortly before the entry to the filter.
