Have you considered building a small shed above the elevator? Privacy, seclusion, weather proofing, etc. a new raised sliding cover could allow the elevator to come up higher. You make an excellent video and you are quite the talented guy.

Emergency route. In the structure of the frame, it would be good to have a "ladder" along which you can get up if there is no electricity. As well as an elevator floor hatch. So you can get out even when the elevator is up. Both easy to add. You will add horizontal steps between existing supports.

I’m just worried about being able to get out of that sliding door gets blocked accidentally while they are down there enjoying the comforts of their newly renovated bomb shelter / earth cooled den someday. I mean, what if a stray horse decides to die right in the area where the door is supposed to slide when the door opens. My very next project, if I were them, should be a completely separate escape route… possibly into one of the buildings.

Regarding the furniture: Movie Studio's love period furniture and may pay big bucks if any of it is salvageable for restoration. If you can't sell it, offer to donate it to a restoration company. Rotten wood, cloth and leather can be replaced, but leaving it in tact as much as possible allows them to find matching fabric and recreate the wood to ensure an accurate period restoration. As a last resort if no one wants it then toss it.

Love the recaps at the beginning of the videos... Also, major props to your wife for putting up with your crap. ;-)

I was thinking about that scene in, "The Guns of Navarone", where there is a lift that transports shells and powder, up from the magazine. An underground swimming pool would be a cool thing to have down there. Your wife is such a good sport.

I've binge watched the entire series on the underground shelter. I've come up with a good use for it after you rehab it- in-law guest suite!! It's perfect for all those unexpected guests that you just don't have space for. You could build a little shed over the opening.

Maybe a battery with a dc motor would be a better idea since the whole point is to survive when everything is failing. You could hook it into mains power to charge the battery for now but use solar panels if the power never comes back on. You would still need a ladder or a way to climb out just in case.

"the steel on our handle has dried" is probably the best hot glue gun explanation of welding I've every heard before.

I am sure everyone in the apartment complex likes watching you work on the bomb shelter. I don't think I would like everyone watching me out in my yard though.

Fantastic work! It looks as if you could some additional horizontal bars going up the framework (in-between the existing ones) and you'd have an emergency ladder as a way to climb out with no power :)

Absolutely love this channel and you two. Made my day watching this. I swear not twice. Also turns out I get addicted to your channel I've been checking it numerous times a day in hopes a new video will appear.

when you're a dreamer it's good to have someone around who can always see the potential for failure.

Tip: if you want to raise the platform to be level at the top so you don’t have to step up to get out, just build a box the size of the platform at the height needed to finish flush. At the bottom you can just do a raised floor with a couple of steps or a ramp to the door. Might just need to raise your safety gate. Just an idea 🤷🏽‍♂️. I’ve been loving watching the build and your humour is 👌🏻.

Good idea may be to weld some extra runs on the elevator. so incase of a failure in the motor/winch you can use it as a ladder to get out

👍☑️ Looks like you got a winner here Herb! This series has been great so far and has the potential to go on and on as long as your lovely assistant /writer/director/actress stays with the project that is. Tks for doing this for us.

Your angle grinder safety is amazing!!!!

So…. if the power goes out or the winch fries or something, how can you get out? You have a ladder in there? Maybe make a ladder out of rebar going up the side of the cement? Something like that in the future. I think you did an amazing job and I really enjoyed your videos man, I can’t wait for more! 😎

So as a follow up to the offer for real elevator buttons, are you interested or planning to make it more automated? Like press the button once and it run down and stop on its own and vice versa to have it come up? I don’t have a property like you to carry out all this fun so living through you.

I remember the first video that you made when you first opened the bomb shelter and the two of you went down there and investigated it. I don't even remember how long ago that was. But I'm glad to see you finally have made some progress and have gotten an elevator system in there so that you can get up and down safely. And I can tell how much you love your wife because of the fact that you are constantly zeroing in on her butt. Only a man that is in love and very attracted does that.

Amazing build! Now add a safety switch to the elevator "door" so it has to be closed when operating the elevator. Also a safety switch if the elevator door frame hits the closed/ partially closed hatch. There is enough space between the upper edge of the elevator door and the platform for a person, so if it stops then its no problem. Put a ladder into the elevator shaft in case the elevator fails.

Holy cow I'm impressed and jealous! And your elevator's cool, too! 😉😂 The original builder(s) jaw(s) would drop if they could see what you have done!
