With a backup power system, it's essential to make it turn on all exterior lights, so that neighbours can see you have backup power when they don't.

Backup on top of backup to make sure you’re backed up. That must be a pilot thing. Always thinking about others too. Helping the neighbours when the river water was rising in the spring with letting them use some of your heavy equipment to stop flooding. Helping with the power outage too. You’re a good man Mike Patey. 👍👍🇨🇦

Not surprised that you give your helper a shout out for his hard working effort. Hope you will keep his around for assisting you in the airplane shop!!!! jm2c Im alwaysed amazed at the thougt and engineering that you put in to all your projects and your new home 🏘️ is no exception. Now get back to work😅.....

Mike, I was a lifeguard back in the day and ended up getting my pool operator course and did a ton of maintenance on city pools here! We had salt systems and old school gas chlorine as well! Haha. You’re doing a better job on your home system than the engineering I saw in most pool systems. Nice work! G

You have definitely done a great job. I love the pump room. I’ve worked on a lot of commercial pools pump rooms and yours is top notch. The only thing that stands out is your liquid chems, I would stack them, they always end up leaking some, you don’t want chlorine and acid mix which I’m sure you already know. Still love your system.

Your water treatment system is top notch Mike. Makes the water treatment facility at the factory where I work look like a hack job. Lol!

Every time I watch one of your videos I am speechless on the intricacy and redundancy of every little system in the house. For example, the valves at each sink and faucet that allows for continues flow through for instantaneous heat at each faucet. How do you not get overwhelmed by points of failure for such a intricate system??

The backup generator for the backup generator. :) :) :) That's soo Patey. Cool stuff!

My only concern is the down stairway opposite the propane tanks. Propane being heavier than air, looks like a collection spot that might allow propane to seep into the lower level of the house. The whole project is amazing.

Got you beat on back up power. 148). 400 Watt panels 30) 100 amp hour Batteries 6) 8k inverters and a 50kva propane generator. All is off line and waiting for the grid to collapse.

Pretty nifty! Ten years ago I installed a whole house 10kw Generac generator with automatic transfer switch. Runs off propane. It is the best thing I ever did for security and comfort. I live in Northern Michigan in the woods. When the main power goes out, my house will lose power for only ten seconds, then the Generac kicks in. It's worth the investment. Especially for those times the power is out for days due to bad weather. Thank You Mike for sharing videos of your amazing home!

With all of the crazy gadgets in that house, I’m half-expecting him to be installing a Cone of Silence™ real soon now.

Do Inspectors who get a Patey job think "Mike's got his sh*t wired, I'll see some cool stuff today, maybe even learn something, this'll be a good one!" Or "Everything will be weird, custom, like nothing I've ever seen before, and it'll take forever to figure it out before I can sign it off."

If Mike is in charge, it's bound to far exceed code requirements, and you know it was done right!

Mike - as a retired executive project manager for very large-scale industrial projects, I am extremely impressed with your engineering and your construction of your home. This is as good as anything I have seen installed in a refinery or chemical plant. Two questions I have are: 1) Are you creating a systems operation book with all schematics, owner manuals, operating manuals, etc. for the house? With the complexity of systems you have installed, this is equal to a small-scale industrial installation, which would have books of this type. 2) Did you ever consider using a PLC or some other form of unified computer control system to run all the systems and components you have installed? I am thinking something similar to a large yacht management system. Lastly, the fact you thought of your neighbors with your back-up generator system speaks volumes to how good a man you are.

Belt & suspenders engineering is just a starting point.

So many kudos for showing the people that help you with your extreme build. I think that shows that you care about people and all the workers that help you with the goals you want to achieve. These people are critical to your success.

As a young contractor getting into the game. Every time I watch these home update videos all I can think about is the knowledge I could get just by walking a day in Mike's shoes.

Great neighbour!

Mike, please make a video about the engineering behind the build!

my God, what fantastic foresight, engineering, execution and dissemination of not only knowledge but motivation. Godspeed sir.

Been following this build since the first shovel of dirt moved. It is as impressive as that flap and slat system on the plane, with a couple of extra's tossed in..... just for the sake of living.. 😉.. Farmboy, turned tech, turned boat tech, turned race engineer, turned airplane nut with a good dose of historic race car restoration here..... Did quite a bit with propane and gaseous flamy stuff . I might miss something in the vid, but in case of a very unlikely leak, since Mike did it, where would the propane pool or dissipate to? I see a drainage line under the grass and the the doggy stairs and door, all lower than the propane. If it does pool and something lit it, the foundations will rattle a bit... Sure of it that you did something, but I can not see it. Vent fan of some sorts?

For my work I put in 150kw system with 450kw generator Ie motor was small but electric side was huge to start frequency(should UPS fail) converters and keep UPS happy. If you’re willing to take a chance it’s pretty cool how much you can push generators. As long as the exciter is a magnet

I'd love to see more detail about how you setup your solar to run off grid and the backup backup generator.

Imagine if you could drain the pool like a resevior and generate hydro electric power to run the home or charge the batteries.

Steve, absolutely excellent. I felt like I was walking with you. Thank you sir. Don (half Scot)

Amazing plumbing job, but I got lost on the second backup.😂😂😂

Impressive. My bet is there are no industrial/commercial pools with this level of redundancy let alone residential. I am rebuilding my pool, and just put in a Generac system tied to natural gas. No worries about power now, but I figure it is the one thing out of my control that messes up my day. Why not. I have batteries on the critical resource, gigabit fiber connection, and 26kw to everything else.

It is amazing how Mike can surprise us every time: A two zone pool? Genius! There is so much information and ideas in all of these videos. Just amazing. I love it.

Tony Stark has Mike on speed dial for his engineering questions!

Love your videos! In my past career i was fortunate to build and design some very unique custom swimming pools! Are you at all concerned having the acid and chlorine stacked on top of each other? I was always concerned about a spill where the two chemicals might mix and cause a chlorine gas situation in an enclosed space! Get back to work!

Love it!

Every video I just marvel at the capacity of this guy. Ofcourse he has backup also for his neighbors too. In next episode: "Guess what, city shutted down water but I had thought of that, so my pool water is drinkable and I put some extra water outlet for my neighbors so that they can drink too.” And of course there is exact same house underneath this house on hydraulic platform so that if this house gets ever demolished, Mike can just rise up the reserve house that is ready to live. How much we have not seen? dude propably has also aircraft hangar in the house etc... ”Sometimes it is nice to fly directly to house.” I would not bat an eyelid.

Estimating the environmental impact and use of resources in Mike's house, I realize what Mike can do for the fellow aviator: Make sure his spending of the earth's resources can be balanced by promoting and R&D of environmentally friendly aviation of the future.

Great exit to show the tested backup power system in action!

Love a well thought out neatly designed; functional mechanical room.

Details on the solar system? Another video in the works?

Just for fun call the a few local pool service companies and have them come out to service your "residential" pool.
