Now that he’s finished his tunnel, he’s now digging a underground garage.
He’s already nearly hit his utility lines and has had old sewer pipe hit him on the head and injure him.
Sorry for the awful mobilegay screen cap.

I’m most worried about the exposed utility lines and his house’s structural foundation.
Absolute madlad. I watched the main video as well as the 2nd channel video last night. It seems there was less shenanigans and more seriousness in these two videos. A lot of stuff to think about and get right.
I wonder how he is able to get around the permit issues that im sure he has to deal with in bongland...
First permit was just registering the tunnels as a “utility building” under the same classification as a shed. Course his HOA threw a fit and wanted him to not continue cause “le property values” which are going to get nuked from the addition of expensive things to maintain, especially with the garage lift.
I’m not sure how the second permit for the garage expansion works, might also be classified as a utility building.
>Course his HOA threw a fit and wanted him to not continue cause “le property values” which are going to get nuked from the addition of expensive things to maintain
You kidding me? The HOA should be glad, well build project like this could skyrocket the price of the house upwards. I know i would pay a double if my house had a bunker underneath
maybe if a richgay is willing to take it over once Colin dies, though his location is less then ideal for richtards with money to waste like that.
>In the future when Colin dies from old age some boomer might buy his property and pour concrete down the hatch to seal up the bunker because "who needs all this ruckus"
Grim
why the frick would anyone waste money on concrete to seal it up?
zombies r gonna spawn down there if you don't fill it in
he could potentionally be literally undermining the structural integrity of the surrounding buildings and a public road
For a short duration perhaps, but then he restores it by filling around the structure with concrete.
Also shits all rock, ain't no way
i dont think pumping a a couple inches of concrete behind some sheet metal makes the best retaining wall
i agree that the soil is surprisingly rocky but this kind of projects done by a plumber who can't be arsed to contact professionals is a poor practice, especially with his amount of viewers
and the part where he was poking in loose rocks above his head without a helmet, jesus. is a potential skull fracture really that entertaining?
HOA? I doubt he lives in one it aint America.
>implying HOAs are only in America
zero chance he lives in a HOA.
he'll need planning permission but that's all.
Council, then.
You underestimate how b***hy and nosy they can be.
England is one big HOA.
The prevalence of HOAs in the US is vastly overstated, mostly by liars who will tell you there are no neighborhoods anywhere that aren't HOA so they have to live under Karen rule. These are really people who want to benefit from being in Karen ruled neighborhood that keeps the neighbors from shitting up the place, while themselves desiring to be exempt from the rules so they can shit up the place. If you're PrepHole, HOAs generally are not the place for you. If you're PrepHole and just want to consume, they're absolutely lovely.
Jesus Christ that's a lot of Karens.
>Arkansas
Yeah that looks about right, nobody here likes being told what to do.
I had one in one of those yuropoor midrise buildings redditors coom over.
The most annoying person in the building was always the association president.
You're also forgetting the fact he did it all without permission and went back later to make his case after he already was well into it. Will they approve this time? FIND OUT ON NEXT EPISODE...
>***extremely homosexual british "punk" starts playing in the background***
>Oi! Ye need ta apply fo a loicense befoh ye start bildin'!
>Course his HOA threw a fit
There is no such thing as a HOA in UK. I think you are talking about the local council.
None of the rules you've invented in your own head actually exist. What you do with your own building on your own land is entirely up to you. As long as he doesn't cause any damage to neighbouring properties or make the place dangerous (like, say, creating a massive gas leak) nobody gives a frick. If is house falls down that's his problem.
The real question is how the frick he insures the place. I'm guessing he has no mortgage and definitely has no building insurance.
>None of the rules you've invented in your own head actually exist.
>What you do with your own building on your own land is entirely up to you.
You are so unbelievably clueless.
Please point me to the form I should fill in for "I want to dig a hole in my back garden". Any English Council will do.
This isnt true at all, planning permission exists for anything you do, it's just that a huge number of things that dont impact anyone are classed as permitted development and dont require any paperwork or bullshit and the council agree basically not to bother you with.
For example you are allowed to build a shed, but if it is bigger than a certain area or takes up a certain percentage of your property or is above a certain height or is between your house and a street, or is built to a standard to allow people to live in it, (just some examples) then they can frick you.
Digging is a strange one because it doesnt really take up land or remove green space so it's kind of a grey area in that it's not really covered by any rules which are normally permissive by default. Most people assume it falls foul because councils dont like people to have fun or enjoy themselves. It just feels like it should be illegal. Also its potentially extremely dangerous to you and anyone that goes down there and everyone around you.
damn good arbitrage opportunity to buy a cheap shit house in county durham and just dig miles below it turn the whole thing into an underground tower block before the law catches up to advancing tunneling tech and starts imposing planning requirements on digging
>Digging is a strange one because it doesnt really take up land or remove green space so it's kind of a grey area in that it's not really covered by any rules which are normally permissive by default.
Well yes, that's what I said, just without getting into the kafkaesque semi-reality of UK planning laws.
If anything I'd assume building control was a bigger problem for him.
any idea what building control applies to non habitable space? nobody is checking insulation on a shed.
>any idea what building control applies to non habitable space?
"Don't build it out of asbestos and don't let it fall over outside of your property boundary", I think? Plus the normal electric, gas & water regs.
Did he add heating to the bunker, though? That could make it qualify as "habitable", then *all* the regs. kick in.
There's tons of shit you can frick up underground if you don't know what you're doing. You can mess with aquifiers, utilities, cause drainage and stability issues that will affect your neighbors' properties. Not sure about UK laws but in some countries you don't even own any rights to mineral resources under your feet by default and your property only extends to like few meters deep, everything below is legally not yours.
Honestly I feel sorry for him. He's upped the ante so many times that he is now forced to go crazier and crazier and tear apart his own house just to satisfy the algorithm. He has snatched defeat from the jaws of victory.
blame shitwiener and zoomtards.
nobody has any serious attention span anymore, even mine is getting worse as I sometimes find myself going through the video to the actually important bits to skip a few minutes of talking/shilling.
I'm still curious how Penguinz0 manages to get millions of views without using horribly attention grabbing/attention span shortening methods.
But we're witnessing the destruction of the internet into nothing more then something like dull mindless cable, where people go to get flooded with low intelligence, short form, not educational content.
it's over, isn't it
Hope lies with people like hyperspace pirate. His stuff on DIY vapor compression/cryogenic cooling, especially how he talks about using stuff like propane or home made ethylene and all that. Like, his stuff makes me want to start collecting even MORE radiators and compressors.
he just needs to make a rocket powered whatever or a bike that runs on idk a paraglider fan. I don't think he's doing this for the algo, it's way too much work and he seems to genuinely enjoy it (to the point of upping the ante until his house collapses since he eyeballs everything and has never even tried to do some rudimentary soil study or load calculations). if anything he's neglecting everything else for his tunnel,which is understandable but I don't know if it's optimal for his yt channel
>a bike that runs on idk a paraglider fan
Middle East viewer count skyrockets
Living the dream, digging tunnels seems like such a cool pasttime, unironically
why did you make a second thread you cuck
It is a better opener, though.
Did this dude shore the tunnel as he was building it or is it going to collapse on him?
made a steel frame with sheet metal and mesh then filled it in with concrete which was left to cure.
That's not shoring
No shoring, retaining structure built IN SITU lol post excavation by section. several vids deep before he explained ventilation, zero air quality monitoring.
Cut through workshop floor concrete pad completely dry. Absolutely inexcusable.
There is hurrdurr safety tie shit cutting yourself open with a knife belt where people understand the danger irrespective of your attitude, and then there is doing things people will probably copy and repeat where the damage to your body or lungs isnt readily apparent or obvious, but is hammered repeatedly into every single person involved in these trades repeatedly and unendingly because morons dont listen or care.
People die from this shit every single day. It's not a joke it's not funny. It's dangerous.
He dropped shipping containers in the hole. I'm sure everything will work out ok.
Colorado at the 4th highest percentage on that map... People on the front range need to be exterminated...
Iceberg houses became quite popular in london.
>limited land
>expensive
Britbongs seem pretty chill about underground extensions.
It strongly depends which use of the space is declared.
Living space has the harshest code. Utiliy space is easy.

>he doesnt own a rental in a place he likes to visit and use the garage as a vacation home.
Great, until you live in a street where everybody wants to keep up with the neighbors and you live in a construction zone for 5 years.
You probably have schizophrenia and need some meds. Grinding your jaw while trying to sleep/tweeking.
Ask the shelter staff for some Tylenol or ibuprofen. They might have a vending machine with single serving packages.
>need a loicense to buy spoons and televisions
>somehow can also excavate a stadium sized underground cathedral no problem
UK is weird.
I want to see him fighting his community council (brit hoa)
