Failing to Build a Bomb Shelter #1

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

After some initial excavation, the project owner, Stanley, and the heavy equipment operator, Alex, discuss the plan for the large corrugated metal pipe. The customer intends to use the pipe as a 'shelter' and wants it buried. The discussion includes details about the desired depth (2 feet at the front, 6-7 feet at the back) and the need to build a retaining wall. They confirm that the pipe is 10 feet long and very heavy (estimated 1000 pounds). The conversation highlights the logistical challenges of moving such a large and heavy item, especially on uneven terrain.

Goal: Finalize the plan for burying and converting the pipe into a shelter.

Tools and materials

  • Large Corrugated Metal Pipe — The main component of the shelter, measuring 10 feet in length and approximately 1000 pounds
  • Measuring Tape — To confirm pipe dimensions and planned burial depth

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]
