Welcome to the Colin Furze tunnel project where i am digging a secret underground tunnel
from my shed to my house and eventually on to the bunker in my back garden now if you like the
sound of any of that subscribe ,this is an awesome project ,now this is video two in the last video
we chopped the floor up and we put in our secret entrance now as you're probably thinking this is
an expensive and a time-consuming project but we have a sponsor in free trade so if you want
to grow your wealth rather than your shed space there's more about them later right we need today
right so i've got a load more tubs so hopefully get a bit more out this time
that's got through the face now into actual soil but i know what you're thinking then
we're gonna put all this i have a plan you fill these bags with the dirt from the tunnel then
wearing them inside your trousers you wander out into the compound
all you have to do is kick it in unless you're a complete fool the ferrets will never see a thing
hahaha
now one problem i have got is i've not got a lot of room to swing my spade around with
so bought a new spade i'm gonna chop it down six inches
and do the same with a shovel it's even got its own little tool kit
oh my body's out of control
let dig 4 commence
now i've been digging this hole with loud music on so no one can hear the sound of me digging
but tonight tom wants to come and help me and i thought it would be a bit weird
if two people were in the shed really loud music on because we wouldn't be
able to talk to each other so to cover the noise tonight it's band practice night atom
uh
ah
now under normal circumstances a spade a pickaxe or a jackhammer all perfectly fine but it's all
high impact it's going to make a noise can't do it so we need a quiet system of removing stuff.
240 volt hydraulic pump big fat hydraulic cylinder fix this on the end of it
right i'm not gonna explain too much just gonna build it
things
nice and solid now i shall stick a handle on it once i've got all the hydraulic hoses and
stuff mounted but before that i've got to sort my pump at i'm going to shove it under here
uh it's a good excuse basically to tidy all this rubbish up there's still bits of
christmas tree under here from the undecor 500c oh look at that look i mean that that's a fit
that is cable will come out there thingy will come out there yes yes yes let's bolt it down
now we've got power.
right i think this system is going to work i've tidied it up a little bit i've reduced the length
of the hydraulic hoses on the ram and also i've installed these little
gate valve things these little lever valves so i can swap between the ram and
this wedgy thing whatever you want to call it is also we haven't got
i say we haven't got hydraulic hoses and cables everywhere look i still have got hydraulic hoses
and cables everywhere it doesn't do digging down particularly well but it does force
the rest of the muck into the hole quite well which is a lot easier than using your spade
like literally scrape the surface off this this is solid rock
you whack in the pickaxe in and it's like
it is one big plate so i think now we've actually hit the limestone seam i was kind of hoping
it would be a bit deeper than this because the bunker at the bottom although we hit it there
the garden slopes down a bit so i was hoping that the limestone would be a bit level and
then this would just be well whatever all this is just nonsense on top of it
so neighbours are away today they're coming back tomorrow so i'm going to
take this opportunity to get the big breaker in here smash as much of this up as possible
because that's going to be really difficult to do with anyone else in because let's face it
that's going to make a lot of noise it's blooming exciting this is this this is a perfect furze
project
right something quite remarkable has happened i'm digging down look i'm getting quite deep and all
of a sudden i like felt a draft i'm like where's that draft coming from there's a little crack
down here i can get my fingers right underneath there if i put this look there's literally a draft
coming out of it come on wind if the wind blows outside it okay i don't know where that crack goes
to but it obviously must be connected to outside somewhere are we gonna wear some secret cave that
could save us a lot of digging the cracks getting deeper that might even be the depth we need to go
look at that here we go corners all nice and square next thing you want to do is
put some framework around the outside a to stop any collapses but also we
definitely know we're digging vertical level horizontal everything so we don't
wander off and we end up with like some bent tunnel. it's middle of september now
so we're nearly what two and a half months away or something from it being a year old
nice the chassis nice and solid got these little pins in here and the corners to help it in
put a bit of mesh up and just keep
digging
hmm
okay here we are we're down to maximum depth we've got all the mesh on the wall we've got
all the framing on the wall but it's actually april 2021 now a whole year and three months
has passed since i properly come down here and actually did any work on this because of course
it's been Covid and all that malarkey and i would normally work on it when the neighbors are out or
on holiday of course they've not been anywhere and i want to get on with it basically
so next video we need to start going sideways but i want to do it in complete
silence so i'm not disturbing anyone and it's not causing any issues so similar to
how we have the hydraulic things i need to make that but go sideways and then we need
to bring the motor all the operating system for that down here so you can't hear anything
basically so that's the next video i'll see you there subscribe this is getting excited
