I would speculate that Bill Gates has a very comfortable bunker. Thanks for watching.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching. Watch for the Greenhouse build that is being build on top of the root cellar.

Yes precast would be much faster and cheaper in cost. The structure below the Insulated concrete slab is to be a constant cool temp. To preserve produce grown in the garden. This concrete slab is gong to be the floor of the Greenhouse that has windows in the roof. The sun is going to shine on this floor and could get very warm.Thus the R-49 rating insulated slab protects the cellar below from being heated by the sun. The cellar below is to always be above freezing in the winter and always stay around 50F in the summer. The 2x6 bracing will be used as shelving in the cellar and used on the short wall section above on the Greenhouse. The 2x3 bracing yes is used as firewood. Thanks for watching.

I did use two as shelving in the cellar. But the 5 1/2" depth has its limits. Your suggesting is great. I never thought to set two back to back to get a deeper shelf. Thanks for the great Idea. And thanks for watching.

Yes I think so. They did the whole thing less than 2 hours. Thanks for watching.

Yes, and a lot of hands on filed work. I was able to draw everything in 3D to create accurate drawing to follow. Thus avoiding rework.Thanks for watching.

That was a big concern of mine. The concrete mix I used was the same used on pouring the ICF Walls. This mix design has slightly more sand to increase flowability. Upon checking the concrete flowed very well down into the I-Beam channels at the 6 inch slump used. As shown in the video I did have the concrete vibrator used along the wall sections and was prepared to use it on the Deck area. But was not needed upon review. Now having that said. With the two concrete finishers walking on the rebar grid and mesh also deflects slightly giving movement to aid in freeing any concrete bridging that may have occurred. I am confident all flowed as planned and can be seen in the one close up view in the video. Great question on a very important detail. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Yes later on I decided to get the hard hat and gloves. Too many nails above my head got me nervous as well. Thanks for watching.

Yes, the crew was top notch. It is like a picture frame that is around my Greenhouse / Root cellar. I bring people over to show them my Root Cellar and they give just as much attention looking at the wall. Thanks for watching.

Glad you like it, it's been a long process but I'm getting there! Many may not know It takes many hours to setup cameras and film the project and just as much time to edit the video into a viewable production that makes sense. Thanks for watching.

Yes a good and simple song. Thanks for watching.

Yes only on the exterior of the wall. I also change from using the 8" wide wall for the Cellar below, and change to using a 6" wide wall for the above grade portion. The key is the thickness/ of 2x4. (11/2"). When the next concrete pour takes place the width of the key is not an issue as it is filled and the lower wall, the floor and the above grade wall becomes monolithic. I will be starting to post the above grade build of the Greenhouse some time in January. You will be able to see all that you want in those videos coming soon. Thanks for watching.

I did not know that. I just finished reviewing on-line and you are correct. Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention. I have much experience with AC power. This is my first project using DC. I am thankful you let me know as it is still early on and I have now located a new panel / DIN mount style DC Circuit Breakers that will take the place of the AC panel. Thanks again. And Thanks for watching.

Yes it will become an old ancient relic lasting generations. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

I did much of the ground prep work with my backhoe to get the cost down some. But still. It took 3 large truck loads and the block had to be handled twice because the trucks could not drive right up to the project site. I'm 65 and we cannot take the money with us so that being said. I now have a wall. 70K. Just moved it from the bank and transferred it to the property value. Thanks for watching.

@@puremichiganliving9952 I was close then

Hello Hans. I had a UA-cam copyright violation on all my videos that I had to get resolved. I am now posting the copyright resolved videos. By the end of January I will be posting the Greenhouse build videos. The project is progressing very well. I have the Roof installed with windows in the roof. Thanks for watching.

True, you said something like that in a video, I forgot. I'm curious to see how far you've come. I wish you a happy new year.

Merry Christmas Grace and God Bless! Thanks for watching.

All Great Questions, Rough Guess is 12K to 15K Dollars, It can be accomplished much less if you leave out a few of the option items such as Ice melt System is stairwell and PEX in the floor of the Cellar and Greenhouse floor. Power will be DC Solar, two panels on the roof and battery stored in the Cellar as they will never be subject to freeze. As the newer batteries Lithium Ion batteries cannot operate below freezing. Water drains go under ground and out the side of the slope of the hill the cellar is built on. Thanks for watching.

Yes, local codes dictated the max limit to be 200 Sq/tt. As the greenhouse that will be built on top. If 200 sq/ft or less the structure will not become a taxable structure. When finished I will be able to heat with my outdoor wood boiler. And grow vegetables 12 months. The PEX in the floor of the Cellar will take the 50 degree water and use it in the PEX of the greenhouse floor. This to keep greenhouse from freeing in the mild winter days. This small structure gives me many options. Thanks for watching.

Good observation, Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

This BuildDeck design is NOT Lite-Deck, This can be driven on with my Backhoe. Many build rooms below the garage and park over the lower below grade room. Yes your suggestions can be built much faster but I want the thermal Insulation properties in the walls and ceiling that the ICF wall and Deck forms provide. Thanks for watching.

I grew up in the Romeo Almont area. Outdoor kitchen sounds great. Thanks for watching.

I show these details in these two videos. Layout of BuilDeck ICFs - Day 51 time 8:10 mins Rebar Placement BuilDeck ICFs - Day 52-53 time 10:50 That chart I show can be found Link in description of videos. Thanks for watching.

@@puremichiganliving9952 Thank you!

My build Is overkill. I used FEMA storm shelter (above ground) hurricane tornado proof. I could have built it with much less and at half the cost. I want it to last generations. The FiBar is a must in road and bridge construction where the salt the roads in the winter. The salt is the catalyst the promotes the rusting. In my application the rebar is expected to have a 100 year life. The FiBar has a higher tensile strength but a lower compressive strength and has its place in corrosive application in my opinion. Thanks for watching.

@@puremichiganliving9952 I really like a lot of the details you used, like the way you used the stirrups in the beam pockets. Well done!!!

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and I agree on the thermal mass and R-value.

I do have two floor drains. One in the Cellar and one in the staircase. The build location is on a flat spot near the slope. All drains exit through the slope and can never backup. Metal Isolation and Faraday cage and the future... I put my hope in God that he is gong to step in as he states in the Bible that he will. At his will and his time. We just have to have faith in him. Thanks for watching.

The UA-cam channel is now starting to make money. One of the videos is over 85 thousand views. Thanks again for the comment and thanks for watching.

Yes I do. If you go to my channel by selecting the Brown Cabin you can find the PlayList "ICF Root Cellar Build" . I still have about 8 more to post to complete the full build. Thanks for watching.

I hope you get a chance to do this hike, it is pretty amazing! I lived on the Island for two years working in Waimea at PMRF. The best 2 years of my life. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the compliment, It has been a long process!. Kapaa has that multiuse bike trail right along the coast. Between biking and jogging I must have did that trail over 100 time in the two years I was there. All great memories.

I had to redo the videos because of a copyright violation. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching.

I should start posting the Greenhouse build videos by the end of January. Thanks for watching.

I should be starting to post the Greenhouse build by the end ofJ anuary. Thanks for watching.

I had the plans made and they used Auto-Cad. and for the animation they used 3DS Max. The plans are my design and I assembled them to my drawing specifications. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the compliment and thanks for watching.

Great suggestion. Sounds a lot better than the tape. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and good luck with your build!

Yes the Brick worked well, Thanks for watching.

Yes you are correct, the ceiling above the door is free floating except for the 3/4" rebar. That's why i put a 12" x12" grid of rebar in the top 4 1/2" concrete cap. Remember the Build Deck - Deck ICF is 8" thick Styrofoam so it is not solid concrete hanging out there. Thanks for watching.

@@puremichiganliving9952 So after you pour the cellar ceiling and the stairwell ceiling, you then put an overall topping layer of 4.5" concrete with 12" grid rebar to tie the entire ceiling/floor together? Or there is no stairwell ceiling to cellar ceiling connections other than that rebar you pushed through the adjoining stairwell/cellar wall? I am just trying to understand what is supporting the stairwell ceiling where it adjoins the cellar. Thanks for helping clarify this.

Get ready sometime in January I should be start posting the Greenhouse build that is on top of the Cellar. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the compliment, Florida sounds like a good place to be in this cold December here in Michigan. Thanks for watching.

Redi-Rock, Please see my video - Redi Rock Retaining Wall Review. Thanks for watching.

Great questions, The PEX in the Root Cellar floor is to pull the geothermal 55 degree temp to cool the water and send it to my cabin to cool my cabin. And It has to option to be heated by my outdoor wood boiler if I chose years down the road. Yes wood joists to build the floor/ceiling is a common option and would work well. I actually put a 6mil vapor barrier under the concrete floor to slow the humidity to prevent dripping from the ceiling. I still maintain 70 to 80% Humidity and on rainy days it will jump to 100% humidity. The Peel & Stick waterproofing membrane is to prevent water ingress on heavy rain days. On tip is gong to be the Greenhouse. I will begin posting the greenhouse build some time in January. Thanks for watching.

You are very welcome, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
