- I heard that the Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is coming out this fall on Amazon and it will feature hobbits! I finally poured the foundation for my kid's Hobbit Hole or Hobbit House (whatever you prefer to call it) and thought this would be a good episode to label "Part 1". I hope you enjoy the video and the build. Thanks! Music is by Loving Caliber and Ten Towers.
Enjoying every second. Great craftsmanship. Thanks for sharing this journey with us!
You're welcome. Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
These kind of videos are addictive! Great work! Can’t wait to see what you’ll do next!
Thank you:-)
Cannot wait for the next video. I hope that you can actually put everything in a playlist or actually make like a hour and a half long video or something putting all of the extra information or the extra clips that you haven't put in yet with the other clips they seem so short but of course that is expected showing us your steps I think you're doing a great job so far and you are helping me come up with great ideas and helping me figure out some of the things that I was stumped on I love that retaining wall and I will definitely be making a serious on my UA-cam channel once I get the material stored up to get something started it's not going to be on this UA-cam channel on my UA-cam channel that I'm commenting from now but look for it the magical forest I haven't done anything yet but hopefully within the next year or so it will be started and I will definitely give you a shout out and anybody else a shout out for any tips and tricks and ideas that I get from. Thank you for your content
Thanks for watching! I hope you get to build your hobbit hole soon!
@@Odd-Lots thank you
Â
It is looking really great so far, you've definitely made a lot of progress since the beginning - it's really coming together. I really hope to do something like this in the future - it's really inspiring to see you living your dreams, keep up the great work!
Thanks! I hope you get the opportunity some day!
I am watching now not just I love to watch fairy houses like this hobbit house, but also I am an nature lover who really wanted to have one😊. Btw I am from Philippines 🇵🇭💚
Thanks for watching. And hello from the USA:-)
@@Odd-Lots you're welcome 😊
I was with you until the rebar and modern concrete. I wish you well on this build. God bless you and your family. 😊
You won't see any of the concrete when it's finished:-) Unfortunately, there are a lot of builders on youtube that have given people the misleading, and in my opinion, dishonest, impression that you can just dig a hole in the ground and then fill that hole with green timber, rock and clay mortar to make a hobbit hole or "survival" shelter. They make their UA-cam video, post it, and then abandon what they have built. The reality is that any structure that is built underground in that way will become a wet, molding, and dangerous mess after the first rainy season. I am not building something just to make a youtube video only to then abandon what I've made. I'm building something that will last:-)
@@Odd-LotsGood points. Your the builder, and your aloud to build it as you would see fit, nothing wrong with that. If it is me, a modern way is to pipe it with PVC pipe to allow for air flow. Dirt floor for sure. I would just follow the 18th century building model. Roy Underhills work as a master Housewright in Williamsburg Virginia in the late 70s is how I like to build. It works for me. I enjoy period building techniques. To each his own. But look, you did a fantastic job on this build and generous enough to share it with us. I appreciate your experience and candor. I wish you well on your next build. 😊
concrete is not modern. Romans made & used it, it's ancient! "600 BC - Rome: Although the Ancient Romans weren't the first to create concrete, they were the first to utilize this material widespread. By 200 BC, the Romans successfully implemented the use of concrete in the majority of their construction. They used a mixture of volcanic ash, lime, and seawater to form the mix."
Not gonna lie, I was hoping this would be a hobbit hole w/ multiple rooms. Regardless, this does look pretty amazing!
It’s great to see Capt. Overkill putting his skills to work again. Keep at it bro! Don’t worry I won’t thumbs down these, not that anyone can see anymore, but bullying you to get rid of that other muppet crap worked…you’re welcome.
Lol
Thats a proper slab of concrete is that for the Panzer tank to park on!?? 😜😅
Just a bit of fun looking forward to seeing the next Hobbit hole building guide!
Best regards Smith 🎣
Lol! Yeah, my buddy laughed at me too. :-)
So fun to watch! Can't wait for part two. It sure sparks the imagination to create a fun hobby. :-)
Thanks! If you go to my channel, I have several more videos posted:-)
I love this so much! I'm making my son a hobbit house (probably not this permanent since I don't have the skills you do 😅) and I'm excited to see how it turns out!
That's great! I'm sure he'll love it!
That's my dream to have a hobbit house I am hoping one day I can build one, looking forward for the next video.
I hope you get the chance to some day soon!
We modern humans are so used to living in square homes...almost every 'hobbit' house i see anyone build is a square room or rooms with a Bag End round door façade.
Try looking at the films and re-creating Bag End, especially if you have the space. Use a backhoe to cut back into the hillside, dig out a huge long terrace, build a wall downhill and fill in behind it what you remove from the cut, then draft out rounded rooms and halls, plastic sheeting for waterproofing, earth-filled tires or earthbag walls for cheap construction, plenty of small windows for cross-ventiation and light, even uphill window-wells, or an uphill patio to get more light in. Cob walls to cover the tires or earthbags, lots of salvaged wood paneling, 'junk' damaged plywood bought at the local hardware store, salvaged pallet wood, end cuts from the local sawmill, etc. Round off all interior corners, basically just copy what you see of Bag End in the films.
I'm building a 24' yurt to live in this fall and all winter, in central Illinois. Rocket mass heater for heat, cheap drainpipe and pex tubing laid in trenches for geothermal air-conditioning for summer.
But every time i see someone build a square fake hobbit house, it makes me want to start stacking tires and do my own build.
Subscribed!
Interesting choice of music.
Wondering if there is a hidden message.
To make the slurry, mix 2 parts moss, 2 parts water, and one part buttermilk in a blender. Blend thoroughly and then spread the mixture over the area where you would like the moss to grow. Keep misted with water (never let it dry out completely) until the moss has established itself.
Thank you! I will definitely try that recipe!
Just watched the hobbit hole video you and your son were doing. I must say, I was sad to see that there were no progress videos past the first really as far as build progression goes. That being said, it's clear as far as I can tell, that your knowledge has grown and this project looks like its off to a strong start. Keep em' coming man, you'll have a TON of subs, I'd know, I'm now one of them, and I'm hoping to follow this journey along the way. Have fun with it, best of luck along the way, and God Bless.
Thanks, Ian. I'll try and post another video in July. Also, thank you for serving all of us in the military. We are in your debt.
@@Odd-Lots Its an honor, thank you, sir.
Good
This is really cool! What’s the purpose of the two elevated islands (or conversely, the deep trenches) as opposed to an entirely level surface?
Thanks!
The trench around the outside is to support the weight of the block walls and the concrete roof. The trench down the middle was going to support an interior load-bearing wall. After I dug the middle trench, however, I decided to eliminate that interior wall. It was easier to fill the middle trench back in by pumping concrete down the hill than by barrowing gravel down to it.

Do you have any opinion on using the pvc shaped model vs. your method? this has been on my mind for awhile so I'm curious what seems like the best outcome to use being that I'm new to the earth house/earth ship layout.
Hey Haley,
When you say "pvc shaped model" are you referring to the prefab plastic kits that can be buried?
@@Odd-Lots Hi! Yes, thanks
I've been in the building trades for about 20 years but have never been on a project that uses those or anything like them so unfortunately I don't have any real world experience to advice you with...a few downsides I see to them though are; there seems to be limited design customization options available, you'll need lots of people or a crane to set them in place and the facades of the buildings are all really similar due to the limits inherent in the prefab structure...In retrospect, due to how difficult my location is to get material to, I would have used ICF forms and pumped concrete into the forest www.strongholdicf.com/icf-products/
If your future building location is easily accessible, I think block offers the best mix of design options, durability and budget friendly value...but it is slow and tedious if you're not an experienced mason, which I am not:-)
@@Odd-Lots Thank you! Sorry, I just saw this. I really appreciate the advice! Thank you and God bless :)
What are the dimensions? I'm really enjoying the series. Hopefully someday I can build my own!
Thanks! I hope you can too! Inside, it will be 12 ft by 9 ft. It's going to be a reading room for my kids and myself. Electricity and a little fireplace but no water or plumbing.
Why put down the plastic when you grow up ground back on it still mixes with the concrete right?
The plastic is a vapor barrier. It helps keep the moisture in the ground from leaching up into the concrete slab. The sand I put on top of the plastic is to protect it from being punctured while laying the rebar and pouring the concrete.
Cade a continuação da cabana. Quero ve a casa montada e linda.
Hi, what is the plastic tarp for?
It's a vapor barrier. Concrete is porous. 10 mil plastic helps prevent water from wicking up through the slab after it cures.
when is the next episode coming?
Hi,
I'm working on the walls this week and next and will post that video mid August. I also just got a lot of the hardware I will be installing in the coming months and thought I would upload a short video showing what it looks like, later this week.
Thanks for asking:-)
What song is playing?
The first song is by a group called Loving Caliber
what is with all that iron are you loco? that is a bunker
I live in a really wet area. I have to build a bunker first to support the 80,000 pounds of wet dirt it will be buried under. It will look like a Hobbit Hole when I'm done:-)
p̾r̾o̾m̾o̾s̾m̾ 🙂
Why are so many comments so whingey?! Just appreciate someone doing a difficult job with skill, if you don't like the music turn the sound down, jeez.
Amazing building skills. The music is bad. Show the build without the music
Have you seen LOTR? It'd be more accurate if you titled this video 'Breeze Block Shed Build' 😠
😂 It's not going to look anything like this when it's done. I live in a very wet area. I have to build a waterproof box that can hold 80,000 lbs of wet dirt before I can make it look like a Hobbit Hole. If you look at newer videos, I have round windows and a round door frame in:-)
A little more "how to" and a little less "college film project" would be nice.
Hi Christine,
Thanks for watching. I decided against the "how to" style video because I don't really like hearing myself talk for long periods of time. Also, there are many UA-cam videos by much more by talented people than myself explaining how to pour a foundation. I just thought it would be fun for people to see a hobbit hole be built. And yes, you are right, the filming is amateurish. Oh well:-)
I loved the video, but the music doesn't fit AT ALL! Doesn't matter weather you like, or have the music itself, it just DOESN'T FIT THE VIDEO! so it becomes SO anoying. Maybe I could have even liked the music in a different context, but here?! It was SO anoying, I had to mute it. "Oh WAH! WAH! WAH! MY LAST LOVE!!" WHILE PEOPLE ARE POURING CEMENT? !.....
Lol. Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe I'll redo that video without the music. The other videos don't have music.
The rings of power is an abomination, I wouldn’t use that in the title
They could have done better. I'm hoping they remedy some of the flaws in season 2 if there is a season 2.
@@Odd-Lots the entire series is a flaw, Amazon pissed on tolkiens grave and it’s so unfortunate
@Serovious I suppose if enough people feel like you do, they will stop making it. My kids enjoyed it, and I enjoyed watching it with them. I will grant you that it's not Tolkien but more "based on the ideas of Tolkien"
Why did you pour it so deep
