Q & A

  • What is the current status of the construction project in the video?

    -The construction project is ready for the next phase, with the aluminum tracking down and prepared for Tom to bring in his digger. A muckaway service is also scheduled to collect some dirt.

  • Why has there been a delay in the construction of more structures?

    -The delay has been due to terrible weather conditions, which led the host to work on a side project in the barn instead.

  • What has happened to the side project in the barn?

    -The side project in the barn has grown significantly and is almost finished, although it is not yet complete.

  • What is the issue with shipping rock and soil samples?

    -The host is unable to ship rock and soil samples due to potential restrictions by postal and shipping companies, both domestically and internationally.

  • How can attendees of Maker Central obtain a sample of 'Colin fur tunnel dirt'?

    -Attendees of Maker Central can obtain a sample of 'Colin fur tunnel dirt' by using the ticket link provided in the video description to indicate their interest, which will help the host determine the number of samples to prepare.

  • Why are the sockets in the tunnel placed about 150mm off the ground?

    -The low placement of the sockets is to facilitate easy access while working inside the tunnel, allowing the host to operate machinery without having to move through the tunnel covered in sticky clay.

  • What is the current electrical setup in the tunnel and garage area?

    -The current electrical setup uses black flex for the ring main, which is not ideal and is of a lower millimetric specification than recommended. The host plans to replace it with a more suitable 2.5mm black flex in the future.

  • What are the plans for the floor in the garage area?

    -The current 3/4 plywood floor may be replaced with a 12mm floor topped with a 6mm checker plate if the garage is to support the weight of a car. There is also a possibility of using stainless steel checker plate to match the DeLorean.

  • How does the host plan to preserve the rock face window?

    -The host is considering various methods, including using glass with resin backing, double-glazed units with ventilation, and potentially a heat lamp to prevent condensation.

  • What is the purpose of the sump pump in the new construction?

    -The sump pump is intended to manage water in case of flooding. It will be placed in a deeper chamber and connected to a vent to pump water out of the underground space.

  • How did the host obtain permission for the construction projects?

    -For the bunker, planning permission was obtained just before construction began. For the tunnel, it was built without permission and only addressed after the council became aware through a YouTube video. For the garage, the host decided to start construction without permission, which later led to a planning application that was approved with concerns addressed, such as tree roots and drainage.

[Music]

00:25

on now I know this is not the video that

00:28

you want you want to see more out you

00:30

want to see more things constructed and

00:32

unfortunately that's not happened yet

00:34

but we are ready for it the aluminium

00:36

tracking is down on the top ready for

00:37

Tom to come and park his Digger across

00:40

there is a muckaway service which is

00:41

going to come and collect some of the

00:43

dirt for me very nice thank you very

00:45

much so everything is all ready for the

00:48

next part now I've not been down here

00:49

doing it of course because the weather

00:51

has been terrible I've gone off and I've

00:53

done a little side project off in the

00:55

barn however that small project has

00:58

grown to be absolutely usive it's not

01:00

quite finished yet but it's not far off

01:02

I've also got makeer Central coming up

01:04

this month so there's a lot going on

01:06

before we actually come back here but

01:07

things have happened which I can now

01:09

talk about which is also very good

01:11

you've got a lot of questions I've wrote

01:13

a lot of things down for me to answer so

01:16

well I better answer them then

01:18

[Music]

01:20

I okay first question I actually need

01:23

your assistance in everyone is asking

01:25

that they want to have some rock samples

01:27

but it appears I can't Ship Rock and

01:28

soil samples I certainly can't ship them

01:30

abroad I might not even be able to ship

01:32

them in the UK so I need your assistance

01:34

if you work for a postal or a shipping

01:36

company and you know where around this

01:38

please let me know because I've got

01:40

myself a load of jars I've had labels

01:42

printed up I've been hacking away at the

01:44

rockface and Colin fur tunnel dirt does

01:48

exist now if you want to get your hands

01:49

on one of these the only place you'll be

01:51

able to get it is at maker Central which

01:53

is n 18 for 19 Birmingham now I don't

01:57

know how many of these to make there is

01:58

a ticket Link in the description if you

02:00

are going and you do want some Colin

02:02

first dirt samples please use that link

02:05

and then I'll know how many jars to fill

02:07

up CU it's quite time consuming and if

02:09

only 50 people are going to want them I

02:11

don't want to fill up 200 and if only

02:13

you know if I fill 200 up and 400 of you

02:16

want them then I'll need to know I I

02:18

don't want anyone to come turn up want

02:20

them and they're not there and also I

02:22

don't want to spend hours doing

02:23

something that no one's interested in so

02:25

please use the link in the description

02:27

and I'll know roughly how many people

02:28

want them and then that is the only

02:30

place at the moment you will be able to

02:31

get Colin fur tunnel dirt but we're

02:34

working on

02:35

it getting ofed into something he just

02:39

didn't think he's going to be an

02:40

American Colin why are the sockets so

02:43

low okay now all the sockets throughout

02:45

the tunnel are about 150 M 6 in off the

02:48

ground which is quite low but there was

02:50

a reason for that while we was working

02:51

in there is that we actually plugged the

02:53

hydraulic pump which is the thing that

02:55

powered all the pen and all the winch

02:57

and everything that used to run on an

02:59

extension lead into the nearest socket

03:01

to where I was working run back to the

03:03

pump and back to the winch so I could

03:04

turn it on and off without having to get

03:06

out the hole walk across the tunnel

03:08

switch it off and then walk back again

03:09

because often I'd be covered in like

03:10

sticky clay I didn't want to spread that

03:12

throughout the tunnel so we had that

03:14

quite low down we didn't want cables

03:15

lashing up the wall so that's why they

03:17

were quite low in there now these ones

03:18

in here although they have continued

03:20

with the lowless these aren't actually

03:22

staying at this height no now if we have

03:25

a look under here there is a

03:27

massive excess of cable basically

03:30

there's going to be a workbench across

03:32

the whole length of this end bit there's

03:34

a company called boxo that make these

03:35

wonderful drawers and stuff that you put

03:37

your tools in they're going to come and

03:38

K it all out thank you very much so

03:40

obviously these need to go above those

03:43

workbench High you know there's no point

03:44

having them down here they'll be on

03:45

cupboard so that's no good so these ones

03:47

aren't staying but the other ones are

03:49

cuz I quite like them at that he if I'm

03:50

honest with you now another question

03:52

you've got is about the cable Colin have

03:54

you used black Flex for your ring made

03:57

yes I have and I know this is not

03:58

correct and it's 1 5 mil as well which

04:00

is even more incorrect should be 2 and a

04:02

half mil but just think guys bigger

04:04

picture this is not necessarily all

04:05

going to stay like this all these cables

04:08

are quite easily accessible you just

04:09

pull all these little sideboards out as

04:11

you saw when I dealt with the flood over

04:13

there so it can all be dealt with but

04:15

think of this bigger picture when this

04:16

whole thing is all finished not just the

04:19

garage but the tunnel right down to the

04:20

bunker it's going to have its own

04:22

electrical supply brought into it cuz at

04:24

the moment I've got a fuse board at the

04:25

shed entrance there's another fuse board

04:27

at the bunker entrance just up there

04:29

there I'm going to put a fresh one in

04:31

because my actual electric Main and

04:32

electric box come into the house is not

04:34

far up above that so I'm going to drop a

04:36

whole new cable in and then it can have

04:37

one fuse board to serve everything and

04:40

at that point various sprits of these

04:41

can be changed some of it I might leave

04:43

cuz let's face it nothing much is going

04:45

to be plugged into half of it a Hoover

04:47

at best this was perfectly enough for

04:49

that so but there's probably going to

04:50

want to be a kettle or something down

04:52

here a't there especially in the bunker

04:53

so we'll need something a bit more meaty

04:55

for that but I will keep it black though

04:57

I'll probably do 2 and 1/2 mil black cuz

04:59

I don't want to see gray cable coming up

05:00

the side into these boxes do they that

05:03

won't do no it might take a bit longer

05:06

about 7

05:07

minutes I'm up here I'm up in the air

05:11

because today's sponsor is air up yes

05:13

this water bottle can help you drink

05:14

more water but making it more tasteful

05:17

and more fun cuz basically 80 to 90% of

05:19

our taste is through our smell and I

05:21

know this cuz if someone hands me some

05:23

food I'm not too sure about I'll smell

05:25

it and if I don't like the smell of it

05:26

probably not going to like the taste of

05:27

it and that is the idea behind the airup

05:30

bottle which is available in lots of

05:32

colors and different shapes and sizes

05:33

now we should all drink more water up to

05:36

2 L a day if possible it's what our

05:38

bodies are mostly made of our mental and

05:40

physical performance craves it but we

05:41

don't do we cuz well other drinks just

05:43

taste better and a bit more interesting

05:45

but Arup uses the science of retronasal

05:48

taste to make you think that you're

05:49

drinking a flavored drink but really

05:51

you're just drinking pure

05:54

water okay so you get the sense taste

05:57

pod squeeze it into the rim here and

06:00

there are a lot of flavors wild berry

06:02

lime pineapple chocolate orange just to

06:05

name a few so when you drink the water

06:06

you get the sensation of flavor from the

06:08

Pod with the scent being right near your

06:10

nose now nothing it mixes with the water

06:12

the water doesn't pass through it and

06:14

each pod will last up to six lers of

06:16

water so this is a great way to cut out

06:18

sugary drinks and it's insan the

06:19

benefits while seeing my kids using it

06:21

which made me reach out to them to

06:22

sponsor a video that's really nice yeah

06:25

yeah which one's that bubblegum

06:27

bubblegum so then if you want % on

06:29

everything air up product you can buy

06:31

enter the code first 10 at the checkout

06:33

and that's what you'll get right back to

06:35

the questions

06:38

[Music]

06:40

Colin col if you're driving a car on

06:43

this is a 3/4 plywood floor really fit

06:46

for purpose well there's sort of two

06:48

answers to this question the first part

06:51

is that this bit might not ever have a

06:53

car on it at all the car left of course

06:56

is over there it will come down it will

06:58

get turn around on its turn table it

07:00

will go back up again it might never

07:02

drive off that now of course if you do

07:04

want to drive it off to bring it to the

07:06

side because of course this room is

07:08

perfectly big enough to have two cars in

07:10

it so you could fit two in here then

07:11

obviously it would need to support the

07:13

weight of a car now if I do end up doing

07:15

that what I might end up doing is taking

07:17

this FL floor up cuz this's his 18 mil

07:20

thick ply swap it for 12 and then put a

07:23

layer of 6 mil plate Checker plate over

07:25

the top of it and that will be solid

07:27

enough to hold the cut now there's also

07:29

o a garage floor company that's

07:30

interested in doing something I don't

07:32

know yet what I'm going to do because I

07:33

want to see what the final room looks

07:35

like obviously a dark floor a dark room

07:38

might all be a bit dark I might want to

07:39

do stainless steel Checker plate to

07:41

match the DeLorean who knows but there

07:43

are the options now this floor probably

07:46

is going to get ripped up because

07:47

there's that much damp and moisture

07:49

coming out even with the doo midify

07:51

running all the time it's still got a

07:53

bit muggy in here and it's got a bit

07:55

moldy in patches there was some carpet

07:58

down here which was never one of my

07:59

questions Colin why did you put carpet

08:01

on it was only an old carpet just to

08:03

kind of protect the floor from we did

08:05

the next bit but it kind of got a bit of

08:07

damp and it made the mold worse but once

08:10

the room is done and it is all complete

08:12

and we won't get the condensation

08:14

problem because everything will be

08:15

covered in concrete it won't matter then

08:19

the face of a five dice there they are

08:21

and

08:22

then so this rock face Window how

08:26

exactly are we going to do that okay we

08:28

need to discuss this cuz there are any

08:29

theories on how we are going to preserve

08:31

this as a rock vase now the most common

08:35

one seems to be put up some glass and

08:38

fill the back up with it with resin and

08:39

let it go off but of course I can see a

08:41

few issues with this you've got to get

08:43

rid of all the bubbles and also when

08:45

resin goes off it does emit a tremendous

08:48

amount of heat so is that going to crack

08:50

the glass if you use a bit of perspect

08:51

is that going to kind of mist it and

08:53

frost it up so Bubbles and heat is an

08:56

issue with the resin of course we could

08:58

have like a double glazed units sat in

09:00

front of it is it going to want

09:02

ventilation behind it and at the top so

09:04

does it have lowlevel ventilation coming

09:06

in to kind of vent past it and then high

09:09

level ventilation going up to Atmosphere

09:10

at the top I don't know is that going to

09:12

have any issues on the room with

09:14

bringing moisture in because obviously I

09:15

know from all this being exposed how

09:17

much moisture comes out of this rock vas

09:20

tries to get in the room so I don't

09:22

really want that to happen I don't want

09:24

there to be any connection between the

09:27

rock face and the room I'd like it to be

09:29

sealed off but of course there in lies

09:30

the problem with the condensation

09:32

potentially now I've not even uh kind of

09:35

discussed this with the structural

09:36

engineer yet because obviously if you're

09:37

going to leave a chucking chuffing gret

09:39

hole out the side of the wall then we've

09:41

got to have some sort of strength system

09:43

above it but I mean I'm sure we can deal

09:45

with that is if anything it'll just have

09:47

to be a little bit smaller but you know

09:49

we want it to be massive don't we want

09:50

to come around and of course it wants to

09:52

be lit up as well so it's going to have

09:54

to have a light behind it to light it up

09:57

now do we use that light

09:59

as part of the anti- condensation so is

10:02

that like like a heat lamp which keeps

10:05

the area around it is it a heat lamp so

10:08

the area behind the glass is kind of

10:10

kept warmer which stops IT

10:14

condensating cuz if it goes all the way

10:16

around if there's lamps underneath

10:18

lighting up that would help so there you

10:21

go that's kind of after I mentioned it

10:23

there was a lot of comments on this and

10:25

they are the top Solutions but if

10:28

anybody body else has any other

10:30

suggestions as how we can preserve this

10:32

rock face cuz the other one of course

10:35

was to just rebuild it like make an Al

10:38

Cove and rebuild it and then have

10:40

something in front of it but you're

10:41

never going to be able to rebuild that

10:43

cuz this is you can't cut it off as soon

10:46

as you crumble it away it never you

10:48

can't put it back what it is or else

10:50

it's just going to be a stone brick wall

10:52

anyway we've got a little time to think

10:54

about that because that's right over

10:56

there there's a lot of work going to

10:58

happen before we get to this problem but

10:59

I know you guys like thinking of these

11:01

things now if you want to see this model

11:03

I am taking it to make a central so you

11:04

can see firsthand how big everything's

11:06

going to

11:09

be can you fly Bobby it's not why don't

11:13

you fit a sum pump now it's not a bad

11:15

idea cuz obviously when all this flooded

11:17

and I have to lift it all up and it was

11:18

all water creeping underneath it that

11:20

was the comment I read the most you

11:22

should have a low point and a sun point

11:24

and somebody also pointed out I could

11:25

probably put moisture sensors like

11:27

underneath the floorboards if they

11:29

happens again I get an early warning

11:31

rather than me just lifting a bit up and

11:33

going oh there's a load of water or me

11:35

looking in here and going that's wet

11:37

that shouldn't be wet but if we look at

11:39

the model we can see where we could

11:40

potentially put one of these Sun Pumps

11:42

righty ho the next bit we dig is going

11:45

to be deeper because it has to take the

11:47

car ramp bit which comes down and sinks

11:49

into the floor so of course having a

11:51

deeper bit of floor is not a bad place

11:53

for a sump bump but ideally it would

11:56

want to sit in a little deeper chamber

11:58

than that because obviously there are

11:59

float switches and stuff on them so it's

12:01

probably not going to be triggered until

12:02

it's like 6 in deep this whole bit with

12:05

6 in of water in it is already a

12:07

catastrophe so we'll probably put a

12:09

little box somewhere underneath

12:10

underneath the car probably where it can

12:12

sit and then the pipe cuz obviously it

12:14

needs to pump it somewhere will go out

12:16

of a vent which is also going to sit

12:18

under there because obviously having

12:19

cars in an underground room fumes and

12:22

whatnot they'll all sync to the ground

12:23

they need to be able to be drawn out so

12:25

there's going to be a lowlevel vent

12:26

right underneath the car which will go

12:28

out to atmosphere there's a high level

12:30

vent up here which has already been put

12:31

in probably a fan in front of the

12:33

lowlevel one which is activated when the

12:35

car lift is activated so every time the

12:37

car comes down the fan will run for x

12:39

amount of time suck all the fumes out

12:41

and push it all out and then we can

12:42

probably have the exit pipe to a sump

12:44

pump going up there as well beautiful

12:46

it's kind of already in the

12:49

making yeah also thank you to everyone

12:52

that emailed about getting the one in 10

12:53

scale DeLorean I've had many offers if I

12:56

haven't got back to you I will do in

12:58

time there was quite a lot of you some

13:00

people are offering to 3D print them

13:02

some people that know of models various

13:03

other things there's even channels that

13:05

do model making so I think what we could

13:07

do would be good fun is to get everyone

13:10

that's offered one in some sort to do it

13:13

and then we'll have loads of them and

13:14

we'll just have a pile of one in 10

13:16

scale DeLorean everywhere that would be

13:17

awesome hey Christmas tree now I noticed

13:21

there was still a few comments asking

13:23

Colin you got solid roof how do you get

13:25

the car in and out where's the car come

13:27

down just remember guys

13:29

the car doesn't come down here on the

13:32

model I am stood here and the car comes

13:35

down over there there is more to be dug

13:40

out yep now the one thing I like about

13:42

you guys is you don't miss

13:45

anything dear and you notice stuff now

13:47

when I was putting this rebar in I was

13:49

at pains to say it couldn't touch any of

13:52

the steel work because you want it to be

13:54

completely isolated from any

13:56

electrolytic corrosion but of course

13:57

some of you pointed out and you've got

13:59

this mesh around here which you stabbed

14:01

it through and quite rightly in places

14:04

it is touching that and of course that

14:06

is touching this now what will happen

14:09

once this rock is all disappearing soon

14:11

I'll be able to get stud in front of it

14:13

I'll run the grinder down the outside of

14:15

it because it sticks out a little bit

14:17

and then I'll just stick the Crowbar

14:18

something behind it and just pop it all

14:20

off cuz it's not actually welded to this

14:22

rebar it's just there to hold the

14:24

concrete back but it's kind of barely in

14:26

it and you should just be able to pull

14:27

it out if I can't pull that I shall just

14:30

cut the bits out around the rebar when I

14:32

do the next bit I might not use the mesh

14:34

I might do like I've done up here and

14:36

use a bit of plywood and over there I

14:37

actually used the celotex and to be fair

14:40

it wasn't too bad in the tunnel it was a

14:42

bit Pokey and difficult and the mesh was

14:44

good but I got bit more room here do me

14:46

a favor don't disturb my friend he's

14:49

dead tired why don't you paint the walls

14:52

well of course there's two size to this

14:53

there's the other side which is exposed

14:55

to the concrete and then there's inside

14:56

the room now the other side I've done a

14:58

video previously on Rust a little bit of

15:00

a fine layer of rust actually protects

15:03

the metal against the concrete cuz the

15:05

two kind of react and then neutralize

15:07

each other and cancel each other out now

15:08

if I was to paint the other side I'd

15:10

need to paint the whole thing really

15:12

well CU any scratches or any blemishes

15:15

in that paint basically the whole rust

15:18

corrosive electric would focus itself on

15:21

that one point and then it would

15:22

probably blow through which is a little

15:23

bit what happens on cars when you get

15:25

like Stone chips and stuff so that's

15:27

easy to just leave it and then on the

15:29

inside normally I just clean it down rub

15:31

it down with a bit of WD40 and that's

15:33

enough but of course cuz this is taking

15:35

a little bit longer to build and it is

15:37

exposed to more damp and corrosive

15:39

elements din trol which is a company

15:42

that makes anti-corrosive paints they've

15:43

sent me some Rust Converter spray which

15:45

I've tried on patches it does convert

15:47

the rust but it kind of discolors it

15:49

slightly so I'm not too keen on that

15:51

because obviously normally rust

15:52

converted you spray it on and then you

15:53

go over it with paint of primer so it

15:55

doesn't really matter if it changes the

15:56

color so they've sent me this test

15:58

sample of wax which I've sprayed on here

16:00

I've rubbed it in it's pretty good we've

16:02

retained the meal scale finish it's not

16:05

sticky and it's not tacky and it's not

16:07

too shiny I like it and also let's have

16:09

a big shout out for Barrett steel newor

16:11

steel group we're just supplying the

16:13

steel for this whole project I feel I

16:15

should mention them again they're saving

16:16

me a lot of money if you want some steel

16:18

go and use them so where's Rick gone

16:20

well look no further Colin I've made you

16:22

a w up

16:25

[Laughter]

16:32

okay so Rick is 64 this year so he's

16:35

obviously getting close to retirement

16:36

age and also he hates Winters and it was

16:38

around about the beginning of November

16:40

that he decided kind had another of this

16:42

and it was a wise choice to be fair with

16:43

a winter we've had but anyway he didn't

16:46

say he wouldn't come back and help me at

16:47

all he just said he was 3:00 on a Friday

16:50

now the trades people will understand

16:52

this probably better than anyone else

16:53

cuz if you can put your head back into

16:55

when we were plumbers if somebody rang

16:58

up at 3:00 on a Friday and said Colin

17:00

can you go and do this job you'd meet

17:01

him with very little enthusiasm so that

17:04

is where Rick is he's 3:00 on a Friday

17:06

so I have to imagine myself asking

17:08

myself at 3:00 on a Friday Rick will you

17:11

want to come and do X would he want to

17:13

do it probably not essentially doesn't

17:16

really want to do much at all but he's

17:17

quite happy doing that now of course

17:19

while he's not been here I've even been

17:21

doing most of it myself or of course

17:23

when it it really is a twers job glad

17:25

Charlotte come and help me and obviously

17:26

when you've been working with your mate

17:28

all the time and then you go to work

17:29

with your partner there are certain

17:30

things that you necessarily can't do but

17:33

have to be a little bit more cautious

17:34

about you're right

17:36

now Colin and then of course there's

17:39

other things like if Colin's super tired

17:41

and struggling and she's looking at you

17:43

going this is painful to watch like me

17:45

trying to undo this strap on this rsj

17:48

and then me kind of losing my temper and

17:49

then she stepping down and doing it

17:51

really easy got to eat Humble Pie every

17:53

now and again cuz if I'm not careful

17:55

it'll just be a funny story around the

17:56

Christmas table you going get the don't

17:59

I drive the car and then of course

18:01

finally and most important and the main

18:03

question you all ask how have you got

18:06

permission to do all this is this legal

18:08

okay so in the UK when you build

18:11

something which is permanent you need

18:13

something which is called planning

18:14

permissions because I think in different

18:16

parts of the world there's different

18:17

things I think in America it's called

18:18

City approval which I've noticed in some

18:20

of the comments so essentially here what

18:23

you're supposed to do is before you

18:25

start building anything you you know you

18:28

put your plan proposals into the council

18:30

and then they will review it which is

18:32

says on the websites Tak about 6 weeks

18:34

it normally takes a little bit longer so

18:36

you put your plans in and then they will

18:38

stick like posters and stuff up

18:41

sometimes around the neighborhood which

18:42

says like you know this is what this

18:43

person's you know going to do if

18:46

anyone's got any objections or anything

18:48

then they can obviously write in or

18:49

whatever you know there'll be a little

18:51

thing on the poster so you can kind of

18:52

object and obviously they'll send

18:54

letters out to all the neighboring

18:55

properties as well so if I wanted to put

18:57

an extension on the house that was what

18:58

happen you know the neighbors would get

19:00

letters there' be a thing outside and

19:02

then anyone who wants to complain about

19:04

it or has got anything to say about it

19:05

not necessarily complain obviously they

19:07

can get in touch and then of course the

19:09

council will look at it and they will

19:10

say yes it's a good idea no it's not a

19:12

good idea but the thing that they're

19:13

mainly looking at is things like what

19:16

impact it has on the neighborhood is it

19:18

in keeping with the neighborhood does it

19:19

cause any harm or anything like that now

19:22

luckily tunnels are obviously

19:25

underground so they're not taking

19:27

anyone's light they don't really impact

19:29

anybody obviously the process of

19:31

building them potentially could but they

19:33

don't really take that into

19:34

consideration because you know

19:35

theoretically that's only a temporary

19:37

situation you know we've all had

19:38

neighbors that have done alterations to

19:40

their houses and you might hear the

19:41

hammer drills and stuff going all day

19:43

but fingers crossed that's not going to

19:44

last forever it's only going to be a

19:46

matter of weeks or months and then it's

19:47

all done with so when I did the bunker

19:52

because that was the first thing I ever

19:53

did I was going to put in planning

19:55

permission beforehand but Sky actually

19:57

sponsored that

19:59

never actually signed that project off

20:01

until the week before I was going to

20:02

start so it kind of got put in literally

20:06

as we began it and of course with the

20:07

whole six week thing we nearly finished

20:09

it by the time and come out and actually

20:11

had a look at it now with the tunnel I

20:14

didn't as for permission cuz it was a

20:17

secret tunnel and I was like I can't you

20:19

know I don't want to raise the alarm on

20:21

here cuz obviously digging you know

20:23

underneath your house and stuff and

20:25

things like that I generally wanted it

20:26

to be a secret I didn't want to alarm

20:27

the neighborhood and obviously putting

20:29

in permission before and getting all the

20:30

letters sent out and the things stuck

20:32

outside on the lamp you know the posters

20:33

put outside but we don't want that it's

20:35

a secret tunnel so I never bothered and

20:37

I just left it and obviously had there

20:39

not been any YouTube videos they

20:41

probably wouldn't have come around at

20:42

all but it was till about YouTube video

20:44

6 that somebody at the council saw it

20:46

and then I got a phone call or a letter

20:48

I can't remember now and then the guy

20:50

come out to have a look and he literally

20:52

come round at the worst possible time

20:55

we' just spoken through up into the

20:57

kitchen like there was nothing nothing

20:58

underneath it so there was no steel

21:00

structure or anything it was just a

21:01

gaping hole and then you could look up

21:03

see the house foundations and I thought

21:04

oh my God this is the worst time for

21:06

anyone to come out cuz this is the

21:08

moment where this project looks like the

21:10

craziest ever you know as you're digging

21:12

under the hat but he came out he had a

21:13

look at it you know it was really good

21:15

and to be fair the council have been

21:17

absolutely fantastic with everything

21:18

I've done they've kind of said like you

21:21

know you should give us a bit more

21:22

warning sort of thing but they've always

21:24

been really good so yeah know that's all

21:26

good n then the Garage this is obviously

21:29

at the front of the house and it's a lot

21:32

bigger Construction in terms of its size

21:33

cuz it's going to be bigger than the

21:35

bunker and I thought to myself I should

21:37

probably ask permission for this for

21:39

beforehand shouldn't I because you know

21:41

we're working at the front it kind of

21:42

felt a little bit different that I was

21:44

at front cuz it was like I was doing it

21:45

in more public whereas the tunnel and

21:47

the bunker have you know theyve kind of

21:49

been behind closed doors people don't

21:51

know what I'm doing and it just felt

21:53

like a little bit more stealth whereas

21:54

this is right out on the

21:56

front so I went to kind of do it

22:00

beforehand and I sat there on my

22:02

laptop and I was just that this don't

22:05

feel right I can't do this I just

22:07

couldn't do it couldn't ask for

22:09

permission thought no this is not the

22:11

first way so I was just for I saw it

22:14

let's just start doing it see what

22:16

happens now I do not endorse this method

22:19

at all because of course with the tunnel

22:22

and everything if they have come out and

22:23

said no Colin you you can't do this then

22:26

you would have to take it out or fill it

22:28

in or whatever I don't know the council

22:31

do have power they have the power to be

22:32

able to do that now then with everything

22:35

you have to have drawings done so I got

22:39

Tim my guy who did the drawings for the

22:40

bunker in the tunnel he come out and did

22:42

some more drawings and the best thing

22:44

about this time cuz I said to him I said

22:47

Tim remember your last drawings we made

22:50

a wonderful poster didn't we called keep

22:52

on digging you guys absolutely loved it

22:54

I did sign versions I had to sign so

22:57

many of them it took me ages well of

22:58

course when this is finished we're going

23:00

to do that again because that was a

23:02

massive hit and I said to him when

23:03

you're doing these drawings think of the

23:05

poster so he's only gone and put the

23:07

DeLorean on the on the drawings hasn't

23:10

he what a master so here we have all the

23:13

various drawings which you have to put

23:14

in for the planning application so

23:17

you've got like you know top views you

23:19

got side views you've got where it sits

23:20

within the property J I mean all bits

23:23

and Bobs now there isn't many technical

23:25

specifications in this there just the

23:27

room size and things like that there

23:29

isn't any structural calculations or

23:31

anything cuz like I said to planning

23:32

permission people they're not bothered

23:34

whether it's safe or not they just

23:35

bothered how big it is what's it going

23:37

to look like should it be there so we've

23:39

got all these fantastic

23:41

drawings

23:42

already but of course I never told him

23:44

about it did I no cuz colins's a weirdo

23:48

Rogue and it w't till I think somebody

23:50

moaned about the path cuz obviously when

23:52

Tom was digging it he kind of rooked the

23:54

path up a little bit but the path will

23:55

all get relayed cuz the curb needs

23:57

dropping so that whole lot get retac so

23:59

I wasn't too fussed about that but

24:00

anyway someone moan that I broke the

24:02

path up some dude from the council came

24:04

out to have a look at the path knocked

24:05

on the door and said oh I've come to uh

24:08

cuz P's a complaint about the path he

24:10

didn't actually think the path was that

24:11

bad which is kind of funny and if you

24:13

live in the UK and know the state of the

24:15

roads and everything at the moment well

24:17

maybe there's a little hint there as to

24:18

why they're so bad but anyway so I

24:21

obviously thought he knew about

24:22

everything cuzz he knocked on the door

24:24

and then he was like uh I've come about

24:26

the path and everything but I don't have

24:28

any plan an application for any of this

24:29

and obviously he was just looking at the

24:31

tarp and stuff on the drive and then I

24:33

said oh yeah it was just when Tom dug

24:34

the hole you know this will all get

24:35

redone When we dropped the curve and

24:37

then he was like what hole and I was

24:39

like damn he never knew anyway I thought

24:42

well they're going to find out at some

24:43

point anyway so I took him I took him

24:45

down the bunker first and obviously that

24:47

had planning permission so that's a win

24:49

I took him down that this has got

24:51

planning permission a brilliant then I

24:53

took him in the tunnels of course this

24:54

got plan yeah this is all sign it's got

24:56

pliss and of course took him in the new

24:57

bit and all of a sudden that feels like

25:00

not so much of a big error I suppose

25:01

does it because you know the two things

25:03

he's already been in I've all got

25:04

planning Mission anyway of course he

25:05

said you know you got to put planning

25:07

mission in and that kind of started the

25:09

Catalyst off of me having to do

25:11

everything so then I put it in and it's

25:14

only recently that has actually been

25:15

approved which is very good um one of

25:18

the concerns that they had mainly was

25:21

was not the gaping hole in in the uh in

25:23

the drive there seem to be fine with

25:25

that uh was the tree roots of the tree

25:28

next to the thingy because obviously

25:30

councils and stuff do their utmost best

25:31

you know to maintain trees and Wildlife

25:34

so that's a good thing so they're

25:35

worried about the trees right to did a

25:36

little test trength to see if there was

25:37

any roots or anything so when we dro the

25:39

curb is you know are we going to damage

25:41

the tree roots luckily enough there was

25:42

no tree roots and then obviously

25:44

drainage because there was a rule or

25:47

something come up ages ago cuz loads of

25:48

people in the UK started having all

25:50

their drives like block paved and stuff

25:51

and then of course when it absolutely is

25:54

hit down with rain then the water's got

25:56

nowhere to go as beforeand when it was

25:58

all Lawns and gravel of course it was

25:59

porous it could soak through it so

26:01

obviously they were asking about the

26:02

drainage but we're probably going to

26:03

have a soak away put in the back Garden

26:05

I've got me other little spouts that go

26:06

down to holes and stuff I'm probably

26:08

going to use them as like overflow

26:10

system so if anything else it really

26:12

really hammers it down it's got

26:13

somewhere else to go but there'll be a

26:15

new thing in the backyard so that's what

26:17

they were mainly concerned about that's

26:19

all good it has been passed I was

26:22

nervous at one point that it wasn't

26:23

going to get passed and then I thought

26:25

like well if it doesn't get passed this

26:27

one's a hard one to deal with cuz it's

26:29

bigger and I don't want to fill it in

26:31

and then what do I do I've got a tunnel

26:33

that goes to Nowhere at the front but

26:36

anyway so

26:39

that that is how you

26:42

play uh life of the skin of your teeth

26:45

very risky people very risky the actual

26:47

cost of the plan and application is not

26:49

that much I think it's about 350 quid so

26:52

now of course the other side of this is

26:54

the structural engineer who's actually

26:56

do all the calculations and stuff cuz

26:57

you know when I first started that was

26:59

when I looked at it thought this thing's

27:00

quite big call I think you need to

27:02

somebody to double check and obviously

27:03

with him being involved the rebar and

27:05

everything it's all being done properly

27:07

and stuff so the structural engineer has

27:09

done all sorts of drawings so his I

27:11

don't they don't have the actual

27:12

calculations on them they're a bit more

27:14

specific and they they give you these

27:16

bluming rebar drawings which to be fair

27:19

look they don't look that obvious to

27:21

what they're supposed to be they've got

27:22

little arrows and stuff pointing

27:23

everywhere but I've sort of learned how

27:25

to read them now so he's given me them

27:27

I've not printed them out I'll put them

27:28

on screen sort of thing cuz they're more

27:30

digital and there we are so stand by

27:33

people there will be another poster at

27:35

the end of this cuz this all looks

27:37

absolutely fantastic but yes it got

27:39

planning permission it's not illegal I

27:42

don't know I don't know if it's if a

27:44

legal is the right word but everybody

27:45

seems to put that in the comments so

27:47

I've gone with that so yeah so that's

27:49

why I never answer whenever asked you

27:51

know how did you get permission for this

27:52

most of the time I don't answer that

27:53

question because I haven't got

27:55

permission for it yeah and like I said

27:57

before do not copy me in that sense it's

28:00

much safer to get it before but I am

28:04

also a ask for forgiveness guy rather

28:07

than

28:07

permission and I sometimes think as well

28:10

if you do start something if somebody

28:13

can't imagine it as well as you can are

28:15

they Imagining the same thing cuz that's

28:17

always been My worry is if I'd have like

28:20

especially with a tunnel if I'd have

28:21

said someone going to dig a tunnel into

28:23

the house it's the same when I talk to

28:25

people about the bunker whenever I say

28:27

I've got a bunker in my backyard

28:28

everybody thinks of a little dingy damp

28:32

like concrete room that looks like

28:33

something out of sore and then when they

28:35

come in and it's like lights it's got

28:38

carpet and it's quite big they're like

28:39

oh didn't think it was going to be like

28:41

this this is amazing and that's always

28:43

My worry is that when I said I was going

28:44

to dig a tunnel are they going to think

28:46

Great Escape crawling along with mud

28:48

with roots everything you know hanging

28:50

down is that what they're going to think

28:52

and then they going say no you can't do

28:53

that col that's ridiculous whereas of

28:54

course you come in this and then like oh

28:56

my God this is epic and there is not one

28:58

person that has been down that and not

29:00

fought it is absolutely fantastic so

29:03

there we

29:04

go right is there anything else left in

29:07

this video what we'll see cuz I'm going

29:08

to go and edit it now and then I'll get

29:10

back to you nah I think you're back done

29:13

okay then people the little Clips I've

29:15

chucked in the ones that are films can

29:16

you name the films stick them in the

29:19

comments little bit of fun okay I think

29:21

that's all the main questions answered

29:23

I've just scrolled through the last

29:25

video to check if there's any more I

29:26

think I've got it all covered also I'd

29:28

like to say thank you very much for the

29:30

appreciation of the model the model was

29:32

definitely the hit of the last video so

29:34

many comments about the transitions from

29:36

real life to model or model to real life

29:39

um this generally has helped everybody

29:41

visualize what's happening what's going

29:43

to happen and everything like that which

29:45

is the whole purpose of it really

29:46

because you don't really see models

29:48

nowadays dear it's all done on computers

29:50

and whatnot so uh see people at maker

29:54

Central um for the jars of dirt remember

29:57

I charge for a jar of dirt how much do

30:04
