What happens here
This project details the process of installing a large corrugated metal pipe to serve as an underground shelter. It involves initial site excavation, careful maneuvering of the heavy pipe using a skid steer, final placement into a prepared trench, and backfilling. The video also chronicles unexpected challenges including heavy equipment mechanical failures and drone malfunctions, providing a realistic look at complex DIY projects.

(9,448 characters)all right let's see how the first day is going crashed that's my 1500 drone check broke down that's why it's overheating oh geez check worst possible materials we could have ever asked for we're not gonna get much of a ledge because of the sugar sand though check at least the job can only get better from here all right how are you gonna boom it so i can just set the mic up or the camera it's gonna be a little bit of a sketchy ride hey what's the plan so he wants to bury it probably going to take it down from underground right about here back there it's going to be like six or seven feet underground how far into the bank are we going uh the pipe is 10 feet so that's the pipe probably gonna be roughly about right here okay then we're gonna have to leg it off so the whole side gonna be back towards here so with the ledges and everything so he doesn't have just a 12 foot bank there you know because he wants to build a wall and then backfill it himself oh or we might build the wall for him and then we might backfill it while we're out here we got to talk to him and see what he wants to do kind of well we need to know that before we put the pipe in place what what what's the pipe for a shelter dude tim says it's like a bomb shelter or something i'm i'm not sure he when he texted me he said shelter guy and then he texts me his dress confirming that he cut down the trees in his back window he has five boxes of toilet paper giant boxes so it's gonna be a man cave [Laughter] okay crap i guess the pipe showed up early i want to see what a thousand pound pipe looks like so we're kind of rushing right now but we're being very careful look stop all the way one two safe stop so i'm not driving uh recklessly but i'm not also lollygagging i to get there and see what a thousand pound pipe looks like they got a big project going on here should be right in here no one more down i believe yes what the heck oh crap look at the size of that thing oh [Music] that don't look like it's weighs a thousand pounds i think that's the customer i've never met him before stan i'm kind of thinking about dropping it kind of right here kind of rolling it off and then i'm going to come around from that side there and grab it right here i think i'll be able to grab it that way bounced in the air and then rolled back onto the forks quickly luckily it hadn't been as close to his truck close call oh let's hey let's meet the customer howdy how are you good i'm stan nice to meet you oh thanks for coming by yeah i'm filming are you okay if i'm not perfect this is going to be such a fun project man yeah yeah yeah so um we just got to get that in yep you want to get you want to grab it from the end i'm thinking i'd like to try it that way at least let's let's do it let's do it and see what it how it looks i mean to see if you can see it better um i just don't think i have 10 feet there i mean it was tight with david when the day was about eight feet wide that's ten foot wide that is yeah yeah okay okay all right let's grab it from the end what's that is if we're gonna go inside the pipe i'm thinking so yeah yeah and then i might take that strap and wrap it around the front side of the pipe and loop it to my forks to kind of pull it up a little bit as i pick it up all right let's do it so this pipe is actually the shelter this is the gist of the shelter and what the customer wants to do is build a back wall on it and then a front door on it after we get it buried in the ground yeah all right you want to tip it down hop in there and tilt the bucket down you might just be able to hold front in there right that does not look like it's a thousand pounds no not to me at least you know what i mean but once you try to grab it and actually move it it's a thousand pounds [Music] so we got the fork extensions on which allow us to get more uh grab onto the pipes we're not putting pressure on too much of one spot okay so yeah dude you got it you got it hey how's the bit hot can you see though yeah is it still crappy to see or no not as bad i just don't know if i have the height with the boom in the air we'll lift it up once let's see how it goes hey can't did you see that it's got some dings on the end of it yes okay i see it on both ends though just so you know right yeah are you good with that can you pour my face i can i sure can i mean you're a handsome man i don't know why you'd want to but i'm weird about youtube you have stuff up there already i do okay yeah [Music] so you didn't find us through youtube no no that's good because you're one of the first people that have not found us through youtube okay i'm a little worried that if those slip off this thing's gonna roll right into that house tim let's uh let's get up here this thing's hey i want to watch this right here because if that slips off i don't want it rolling into their house right dude it's a thousand pounds for real yeah it doesn't look like it would be a thousand okay here we go this is the this is the little bit of this we're gonna stop it if it starts rolling i don't know we should probably get like a block or something i think a thousand pounds would crush us i know well that's alex for you no i just wanted to make sure i could see how you're coming on this end case you couldn't see something yeah you're looking good plenty of room plenty of room okay well we're three minutes into the day again she's overheating we're gonna have to find out what's going on with her what happened yeah the belt's gone the fan's not even spinning wow that's why it's overheating oh geez there's no belt in the belly there i can see a belt down there yep you can see it laying there oh yeah there it is so we need to know what size belt nampa apple might have it you know which is how do you get how do you get to it right yeah i didn't get to see what it was hooked on we'll figure it out though it's that pulley on the bottom there see that bottom pulley on the back side there there's another groove for the belt see on there's that pulley on the front there and then on the back side i'm trying out a new drone the skydio it's supposed to be awesome it's not it does what it wants to do what are you gonna do man you're up there in the trees i got a job to do land duh i think the mavic zoom was easier to operate than that thing land all right broke down skid loader drone doing its own thing always something fun there you go first flight couldn't record anything you did it ran itself into a tree and broke that's my fifteen hundred dollar drone what yep you got a replacement plan on it did you do it when you checked out and they always ask like you want protection plan i was a far dropped from that thing i seen it hit the tree i know that's why it was way up there it's like it wouldn't it's like supposed to have all these things and nope there it is ah man well we're we're doing good so far this morning yeah broke um down it's connected to there to the fan and then connects in the back top there to the alternator back there okay so you just gotta slide that off so it's not that tough of a fix as well slide this one off and then we're gonna have to somehow loop that belt around the fan because uh otherwise i can't get it on that fan oh how the hell so we're gonna have to like pull the fan now we're hoping we can get the belt around the fan you know get it around a couple blades spin it pull it around the other sides we might be able to sneak it in there we'll see though and the sediment bowl constantly fills up with dirt i don't know what it is if there's like the tank itself is dirty and it collects in there and then it keeps pushing it through this filter here and then clogging it but that's been causing a lot of problems so it's just a matter of taking that apart cleaning it out on the inside and putting it back together and it runs fine after that all right so here's a bit of an update on the story full story was yesterday i tried to fly this drone over this job site and it wouldn't connect it wouldn't fly it was giving me all sorts of errors and readings and sim card failures and long story short she wouldn't go up in the air but my very first test flight in my own yard it worked beautifully but as soon as it goes out to a job site forget it so i'm on customer support with skydio hopefully we get some that's just the update i'll keep you updated let you know how this thing goes uh this was supposed to be a better drone than my mavic 2 zoom but at this point it's not all right well the reason we blurred out this customer's face is because he very specifically asked us to i always try to be respectful of what our customers want the wife is busy getting ready for christmas in a couple days got the socks hung and she's a cooking away she loves being on these videos um but we got a couple surprises coming up in this video so in the next one that you're gonna see coming right down the pipeline we get the bomb shelter installed and then it snows on us and then we come back to backfill it and we get a pretty big surprise something that i've actually never experienced before it's just the weirdest thing i don't want to wreck it for you guys but you're going to see that and we're going to release these back to back to back so hopefully you guys enjoy this mini series bomb failing to build a bomb shelter and we'll catch you on the next one in the series god bless you guys go get em see you then
