In 2015 I quarried up the whole garden Underneath my feet and made an underground bunker.
Thats nearly five years old now so how is it keeping up! you never know when you might
need it. As you can see it completely blends in if you didn't know it was here you wouldn't
know it was here. the grass is all the same now, it's pretty flat. I've got houses behind
me which didn't have before. the solid shed is still a really solid shed, if you want
to see how to make that shed, there is a video showing you how to make it! that shed actually
won shed of the year in 2017 for the bunker bit as well. all looks pretty normal up here,
lets have a look inside.
It's just as amazing as the day I built it!
this place has stood still in time, even the tape is still stuck to the walls the ladder
of course if with it being stainless steel has got no corrosion, it's got no damage on
it or anything the only thing I have changed in the tunnels as I like to call it, is I
have lacquered the walls and I've added four vents into the floor and I'll get onto why
did that shortly when I'm in the main room. the only other thing which has happened in
here which hasn't happened anywhere else in the whole bunker, is a bit on the wall and
it sounds Hollow I'm guessing the cement is contracted slightly no other place in the
whole bunker does it sound like. that right then onto the main bit. This is still one
of the best things I have ever made!
now stats on the room; it's 24 foot long, by 16 foot wide, the ceiling is 8 foot high
in the center the whole thing is covered in about a foot of concrete it's a tiny bit thinner
in some places and it's a tiny bit thicker in some places the distance between the top
of the ceiling and the surface is just under 3 foot, about 18 inches, nearly half of that
is concrete and also within that concrete is a load of steel beams for extra strength.
now in August 2020 it will be about 5 years old, and I'm standing here and it does not
look any different to the day we made it. there is even still footprints on the ceiling
from when the sheets of metal was still in a heap at the top of the hole. now there's
a few other marks I've got some black soot up on the ceiling here cuz I've got a flame
throwing guitar we filmed that video down here, I've been blatantly flame-throwing the
ceiling because you can do that down it it's a metal box the ceiling will not catch fire
this is one of the things I actually use it for. it's a pretty good set because it's a
constant, the Lighting's always the same there's no road noise, there's no wind down here,
the video of me with my arm mounted rocket launchers, I filmed that down here, we can
fire fireworks down here it doesn't matter there's a burn mark on the ceiling down there
when we blew a drone up. it's brilliant for that so I get asked do I use it? yes I do
other them film in here, I've got the 3d printer down here that can be wearing away all night
it's not gonna keep anybody up, I watched a Formula One down here
because it's got Sky TV. also Rick who helps me out, he's in a blues band, this is the
ultimate band practice room!
It's sound proof
it's also where I keep a lot of my projects we have the ejector bed, thermite launcher,
Assassin's Creed grappling-hook, Wolverine claws, running built of knives, fire rocket
launcher, flame throwing guitar, multiple world records, fold-out metal shield, wrist
mounted flamethrowers, turkey cooking machine, magnetic shoes, wrist mounted hydraulic jaws,
hydraulic scissor shoes, there's a lot of cool stuff, you should probably subscribe!
what's it like as a room? well temperature-wise 12 degrees all year round, ventilation got
a high level one above the door a low level one in this corner. now that's got a fan in
front of it but we don't actually use that anymore it kind of self circulates itself
and you never come down here it's never damp it never stinks never leaked the walls haven't
gone rusted. the only problem we've had is a bit of condensation in the tunnel from when
the bandar in here but it turns out you solve that able lacquer in it and be by putting
a duvet up and then it stops all the hot air from going in there. fantastic! I wouldn't
make it any differently if I was to do it again. it's spot-on size, everything brilliant!
now but request that on my social media channels if you had any questions and these are the
most popular ones. could you live in it? have you ever slept down there? have you got supplies?
well yep I've got some food, we've got water, we've got various little bits and bobs. I've
got some toilet rolls but there's no toilet! I have slept down here a couple of times when
we had that heatwave. wouldn't want to live down here, mainly because there's no windows.
How much did it cost and did you need planning permission
for it? yes I did get planning permission. now I got it retrospectively which was a bit
of a risk, but also it needed building regs as well so building control had to come and
check to see if they were happy with it and in terms of costs I can't give you an exact
number cuz it was a sponsored project and I'm contractually obliged not to give away
those sorts of things, but you'd buy a pretty decent family saloon with it. would it ever
flood? no I live on top of a hill so if this place floods or fills of water a lot of other
people have drowned. will there be any additions? well at some point I'd like to extend it but
like a proper bathroom in it, but of course got houses behind us, it's not as easy getting
all the rubble out. but what I am working on right now is a gasifier so we can run engines
of wood gas, very apocalyptic! will it add value to your house? I don't know I'm never
going to sell it, but I was told by an estate agent I'd have
to sell the bunker with the house attached to it, rather than the house with a bunker.
so there we are after five years is just as solid as the day it was built. and I encourage
anyone if you've got the space and the money build one. it is a fantastic room to have
especially with things like they are in the world at the moment. I'm pretty glad I've
got it. now if I have missed anything or is anything else you want to know, stick it in
the comments, I'll do my best to answer it as much as possible, but before I leave yeah
there is one cool thing which I've done in here which I need to show you. I've got a
smoke machine, the vents blocked up and I'm just gonna hold it on continuously. let's
white this place out!
I'm here.
okie-doke seeing the next video
