BACKYARD BUNKER PART 5 - WATERPROOFING THE TUBE!

[nielshk]

Consider renting/ buying a gas meter which analyses the air (oxygen %) in the bunker while construction is going on. There's plenty of fresh air now, but once you start closing it up more, you risk suffocation due to lack of oxygen that's used in rusting (oxidisation of metal) or a leaking inert gas bottle used in welding. Could become a problem overnight without warning.
Stay safe and good luck. Looking forward to the rest of this series.

This is one of those series you wish you found a month after it was finished, so you can just binge watch the whole thing.

Just wanted to say that i massively appreciate the fact that you've edited in the conversions like pounds to kg. Makes it way more fun and interesting to watch this series.

Can’t wait to see the series of Zach’s great grandkids restoring the old bunker

The construction of the bunker is so fascinating to watch

[Pratalax]

They must have seen a few of Furze's videos cause what started out as gentle asmr bunker vibes has now gotten a punk rock soundtrack!
For real though, i'd love to see you two chatting about your bunker projects over a cup of tea (and presumably zoom), you're both brilliantly entertaining and educational channels!

[Forlong]

I am curious how you were able to coat and water tight seal the bottom areas that make contact with the ground.

You guys are absolutely killing it with this project, AND the camera work! Got my jar of dirt!

[MedicMainDave]

It might also be smart to add a sacrificial anode afterwards, just in case you missed any small amount of bare metal. This might be able to take the lifetime of the bunker to a couple hundred years if managed properly.

Hey Zack! Nice job! The paint you are using is very good and probably it is already good enough. In the oil and gas industry normally passive protection (paint or resin) is not good enough. The next step is cathodic protection, in your case you could use some magnesium.
It is very commonly used in gas station tanks and it is relatively cheap.

I love seeing all the different tools Jerry is using on this project. Tools I never even knew existed.

10:13 very smart idea to use peanut butter here to cut down on costs.

Great to watch! Really enjoying the progress. I couldn't help but notice the OH&S issues. .I.e. no rails when walking across planks or even standing on top of the bunker. You wouldn't want to slip and fall. Here, in Australia, you need safety rails even for roof tile works.

When talking about re-coating the Trenchcoat, you mentioned not having to do anything to the galvanized metal. It's too late now, but you should use spray galvanizer over any areas that have been welded.

This construction project is going better to spec than 90% of homes being built today. Looks beautiful!

[WernerFigueiredo]

Thanks for all this POV shots, feels like we are there building with you.

[gallardocarlos]

Thanks Jerry I was amazed by KiwiCo and ordered my daughter her first one! She loves building things.

[lmitz]

I got here like 1 minute after this video came out and theres already so much engagement

[cccaaa]

Just a thought but like a boat/ship in the ocean, have you thought about connecting a sacrificial metal like zinc to your bunker that can easily be inspected and replaced? I think it would help increase the life time of your bunker for those areas that eventually have direct exposure of steel to moisture that you can't easily inspect or replace.

[Добрый_Арес]

Wow I got here soon, opened yt and perfect timing love the series, keep it up.
