Restoring A $7,000 Mansion: Digging The Underground Movie Theatre (Pt. 3)

I am building an incredible underground movie theatre in my mansion. Today I am digging the massive hole it is going to be built inside of.

Dude. Pour the floor flat and then build your seating platforms. Storage under, mechanical under, tucked away, easy access. Plus you could change designs down the road so much easier down the road. Platforms could be simple; posts and beams, or steel.

I love how you show that problems do come up and you don't freak out, but just solve them with a plan of action. It shows the reality of things just happen.

Cole, I do remember watching you in a earlier video, saying you were “going to clean up the farm “. You have done a mighty job mate.👍🇦🇺🇺🇸👍

Cole, I love the underground movie theatre, but I struggle to imagine you ever stopping long enough to watch a movie 😂

This has to be one the best series. Loving the content and don’t want it to end!!!

[knucklebumpfarmsofficial]

Love how candid you are about any issues that pop up. Can't wait to see the finished movie theater!

Cole, the U/G theatre is going to be awesome but it will serve as an excellent tornado/ storm shelter for you and your family. Being built outside the original footprint of the house if god forbid the worst happened, you would not be trapped under the wreckage of the main building. Consider an escape entrance away from the main structure. Cheers everyone.

Great Job Cole! You to Roman! To all the viewers with soft ears use your volune!

[BrianCooper]

Looks like this could be a nice storm shelter too.

I worked one winter as a carpenter's helper. It was for a framer, and we were building big houses on stilts on the Outer Banks of North Carolina.i kept our worksites clean, swept, and picked up pieces of boards. I also learned how to put on cedar shakes to the outside of the houses. So when I see you and Roman cleaning up all the time, it reminds me of that job. It was a fun job.

You know it’s a good day when Cole posts a new video

Helpful tip blow out vacuum filter with vacuum itself. Just switch the hose to the blow outlet

Love the videos. I stumbled upon them back when you started tearing out the attic. This is a heck of a project you’re undertaking.

I’m not knowledgable about home theaters but my initial thought would be to build it like a normal empty room then build the theater inside it. That way if you ever want to ditch the theater down the road you aren’t stuck with a weird room with a stair stepped concrete floor

Hi Cole I noticed there was some red clay brick in the hole. Did there use to be a well or cistern etc? I believe it was in the last video it looked like the clay bricks or tile were laid down in a circular fashion.

OWWW Daddy Cornstar that is the absolute definition of ONE OF THOSE DAYS 😢💕🇦🇺💕

If I ever build or remodel another home, I’m doing a version of that movie theater 🎭
Very informative and entertaining to watch. You guys stay safe!

Might be going a little crazy on the theater steps.Three steps each level will be to much. Top will be looking down at the screen and bottom level will be looking up. Two is more than adequate. I would not suggest stepping the concrete. I would frame in the levels with wood. That give you the opportunity to run electrical underneath seats. Or running wires for transducers into the seats. Feel free to contact me if you need any advice. This is my business.

An FYI for when you are using forms. We installed stone and epoxy floors. We would wax - Johnson and Johnson paste wax - the side facing the stone mix just like the concrete. That should help you remove the forms. Just a thought. Love the videos
