    Today I want to tell you how to build a big secret house underground for $2,000. My house will be huge, because I plan to relax here with my family and spend time with friends. At the end of the construction you will be very surprised, but it will be in the second part of the film, which will be by the end of winter! 4 hours of sounds of work and complete relaxation for you, dear viewers.

    I love how this is turning out! Quite amazing! Im in a wheelchair now, so my family doesn't take me camping any longer. In fact it's been 8 years since I've slept outside of my apartment other than a night in the front seat of a friends car... Long story... A few nights in an ambulance ER bed...the car was more comfortable..... Anyways.... Yeah, no more camping for me, they even sold my 1982 RV to make sure i couldn't go camping and be endangered...... I miss my RV, his name was Maxmillion! He was 32 feet! And my moving nature art studio with a bedroom, bathroom, and working kitchen! I loved him!

    If I may provide some critical analysis that may prove helpful for your next video or your next ambitious project.... I know the video was for $2,000. It is such a great sleeping video or relax video. This is only an informational post to save some people from needing to rebuild a shelter after 5-20 years. The dirt that is up against the tarp will disintegrate and deteriorate the tarp because of the biom of organisms within the soil. A different material will work better to protect against water: landfill tarp that they use at trash sites, or torchdown roofing (asphalt layers that can be melted together with granulated covering (embedded rocks to cover the asphalt). Also, it is nice that they built it in the side of a hill, irrigation (sideways waterflow) will be moving down the hill and you can also create a french drain that is basically a 3-sided ditch straight down around the walls to prevent sideways water flow. This sideways water flow happens to seep in especially after the tarp disintegrates from the molecular disintegration caused by the natural enzymes in the dirt. Next you can put gravel around any wood so that the dirt that is touching the wood will not rot it within a few years or a decade. The underground house is nice though, because you do not pay for siding, painting, insulation for heat...also, that is a massive wasp at 3 hours and 24 minutes.

    Hi Alex and Sergey.
    I have a question that I'm always curious about, and never see it addressed. Are you building these places on land that you and your family own???
    As always Alex, you never cease to amaze me. I love your work, and having Sergey there to help was awesome. Everything you do, is incredible. Just the sheer amount of soil, and trees you moves, is truly astounding. It's just like the first settlers that came to America from the European continent, and had to build everything by hand, it's a lost art, and one you are keeping alive The Alaskans in remote areas still utilize those skills, but few others unless they build off grid.
    You should be VERY PROUD of what you and Sergey accomplished, and I know I'd be honored to have a place you built.
    My best to both of you and your families.

    Another thing; I would have to cheat and sneak out a tractor to shovel out the dirt in the beginning, or I'd have heart failure after the first day of digging.

    I noticed people get into a thought that logs that are large are needed to build a shelter, like that of a log cabin house, but that large of a log is definitely not needed, it just requires much more work from you to build like that, remember a house is framed with just 2X4 wood, and that is even spaced 16 inches apart from one another, so if a house can stand for years with just 2X4 timber, then those massive logs your building with are definitely over kill for your structure, think about it, if you could build your whole structure with logs only 4" round, how much quicker, you could build it, and with far less effort. 🤠👍

    Hello Alex and Sergey, I find your videos so awe inspiring and satisfying. It's wonderful to see such competency and skill, and downright hard work (or Hard Yakka! as we say here in Australia) produce such beautifully and lovingly crafted shelters (homes). I also love to see the drone pics of the nature and surrounds....and the delicious food you cook...yummy! All that digging and sawing and chopping and carrying....you need a lot of protein and carbs to get you through right? ;) I take a great deal of comfort watching you bring it all together, you are doing all the hard work, while I sit in my armchair and relax while I watch...ah!...I wish I had the physical ability to do what you do! Keep the vids coming :)

    The good news is you can correct the errors on future builds. Very good examples of hard work and determination , however with no vapor barrier in floor and with vapor barrier on the outside of the walls on the cold side you would end up with rot and mold. You just need to change a few things.👍

    That soil being dug fascinates me. Not much roots and it seems very rock-free so far. Seems easy to dig in. I would love to have soil like that in my yard. Im surprised you were able to find a piece of land with a clear space. I like that you are digging into the side of the hill. Do you study the land before building?
    PS by roots i mean tree roots.

      I too noted how good the soil looked to work with....and grow in. It looked like good quality friable loam....especially just under the surface.....then quite sandy looking....and then maybe more like clay deeper down? It makes for much more manageable digging :)

      @@roselovett8350 not too much clay though. In my backyard I got clay under about 2 inches of dark soil and lately it is like the dark soil is gone. I grew some vegetables for a couple of years and now nothing will grow normally. Everything pops up, grows 3 inches and then stops. And with the drought the clay has gotten rock hard no matter how much I water. Working on making some compost but my back only lets me do a certain amount of work before I have to stop. My yard needs organic material badly. I'm so jealous for that lovely soil this man was digging.

    This, to me, is one of the most impressive things I've ever seen on YT. I've seen hundreds of videos of similar concepts, but this one, hands down is easily the most adept, and well put together version of this type of build. Truly. Well done. I absolutely cannot wait to see what comes next. Ever since I was a child I've wanted to have an underground house similar to this, and you two, doing it all by hand is very inspiring. So thank you for that. I've gotta ask though; where in the world are you located where you can just.. Dig a 10ft hole, and not hit a single rock the entire time? I live in Tennessee (U.S), and I couldn't dig down further than 6 inches without hitting giant rocks. (I've tried to dig without machinery several times, damn near impossible) Also, all those incredibly long, straight, perfect trees all over the place really pulls this whole thing together. This is like, literally my dream home, location, and final product all in one video. I've seen a few comments of the other man's name being Sergey, so I'm assuming somewhere in Russia. I cannot express to you, how deeply this struck a chord with me, and how bad I'm considering moving to where ever you guys are to live out the rest of my days after building something similar. I think the both of you should be incredibly proud of yourselves. This truly is a beautiful thing you've done here, and I hope you get all the recognition you both deserve for the effort to bring this to the world, for free. 11/10 video, guys. Thank you again.
